Market structure and the role of market makers in forex

What role do market makers play in forex? An examination of market structure, liquidity, price manipulation and the behaviour of major participants.

Introduction

Forex is a decentralised market driven by large banks, financial institutions and market makers. Understanding its structure helps traders analyse price behaviour more effectively.

Who is a market maker?

A market maker is an institution that quotes both buying and selling prices so that the market always remains liquid.

Major global banks such as the following are among the leading participants in currency markets:

  • JPMorgan Chase.
  • Deutsche Bank.

Why do prices sometimes behave irrationally?

Because of:

  • Stop hunting.
  • Liquidity gathering.
  • Execution of large orders.

Rapid moves before trend changes often result from major participants’ activity.

How can market structure be used to your advantage?

  • Focus on liquidity areas.
  • Analyse false breakouts.
  • Examine trading volume.

Understanding market-maker behaviour can give traders deeper insight.

Conclusion

Forex is more than a chart: a network of major participants operates behind the scenes. Understanding market structure puts the trader one step ahead.
