You said a dictionary was of no help. You might be using it incorrectly. Not every noun phrase is in the dictionary - there is no need when you can get the meaning from looking up the component words.
'A movement', used as a countable noun, means pretty much the same as 'a move' - that is a change of position.
But you can also use 'movement' as a non-countable noun to refer to the act or process of moving. It can refer to movement in general rather than a specific movement.
Therefore 'a price move' would be a specific change in the price of something, but 'price movement' would mean changes in price in general, or the concept of prices changing.
