It can be seen that the most important factors affecting stock values are results originating from supply and demand. However, in many cases, factors other than supply and demand play a role in the value of stocks. For example, the stock of an invested company may be in high demand, but the price may remain low. Economic factors may be involved in the formation of this situation. Data announced due to economic factors can be lower or higher than expectations. These data directly affect stock prices.

After experiencing a downtrend in the stock, an increase can occur thanks to the support points. Or, while stocks are rising, stock prices may decline due to the resistance point. Additionally, the expectations related to the stock in the stock market must be kept under control. When brokerage firms and investors share an expectation about the stock price, sales can be made when this point is reached. Because sales will begin as soon as the target price is reached by other investors. Therefore, by creating demands and goals, you can direct investments at the right time.
