Analysis of transactions and trading tips on EUR/USD

The test of 1.0857 occurred during the rise of the MACD line from zero. This provoked a buy signal, but a strong upward movement did not take place.

Several reports will come out in the afternoon, and the most important one will be the consumer confidence data, where any decrease and deviation from the forecast will lead to a decline in dollar and an increase in euro. Disappointing figures on durable goods orders will also contribute to the fall of dollar demand, as will a soft position from FOMC member Michael S. Barr.

For long positions:

Buy when euro hits 1.0872 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0896. Growth will occur after very weak data from the US and a firm position from Fed representatives.

When buying, ensure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it. Euro can also be bought after two consecutive price tests of 1.0850, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area, as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0872 and 1.0896.

For short positions:

Sell when euro reaches 1.0850 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0820. Pressure will occur in the case of a failed consolidation around the new daily high and strong data from the US.

When selling, make sure that the MACD line lies below zero or drops down from it. Euro can also be sold after two consecutive price tests of 1.0872, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0850 and 1.0820.

What's on the chart:

Thin green line - entry price at which you can buy EUR/USD

Thick green line - estimated price where you can set Take-Profit (TP) or manually fix profits, as further growth above this level is unlikely.

Thin red line - entry price at which you can sell EUR/USD

Thick red line - estimated price where you can set Take-Profit (TP) or manually fix profits, as further decline below this level is unlikely.

MACD line- it is important to be guided by overbought and oversold areas when entering the market

Important: Novice traders need to be very careful when making decisions about entering the market. Before the release of important reports, it is best to stay out of the market to avoid being caught in sharp fluctuations in the rate. If you decide to trade during the release of news, then always place stop orders to minimize losses. Without placing stop orders, you can very quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you do not use money management and trade large volumes.

And remember that for successful trading, you need to have a clear trading plan. Spontaneous trading decision based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for an intraday trader.
