I think that stating "forex market moves much based on banks interests rates only." is a false statement. There are many factors which affects the price of a currency.
To answer your question, yes there are people here whom trade based on the expectation and actual interest rates set by central banks.

Personally, I look at the economic cycle and attempt to locate where we currently at. This should give me an idea of where markets will be heading next, allowing me to place educated bets. Interest rates are one of the key indicators which I keep in my consideration as they have quite a large impact on the markets and economy.

To learn more about interest rates, google "monetary policy".
I look for value wherever it can be found
