What is troubling about the circumstance when a coil is stationary and a magnet moves as compres to when a magnet is stationary and the coil moves?

When the magnet is moved, the galvanometer needle will deflect. It shows that the current is flowing in the coil. When the magnet moves into the coil, the needle deflects into one way, and if the magnet moves out of the coil, the needle deflects into the other way.

When the magnet is held stationary near, or even inside, the coil, no current will flow through the coil.
