Analysis of transactions and tips for trading EUR/USD
The test of 1.0935 on Tuesday afternoon, coinciding with the rise of the MACD line from zero, prompted a buy signal that should have led to a price increase. However, that did not happen, resulting in losses.
Although demand for euro rose due to the ECB's current account balance and statement made by ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos, the correction in EUR/USD still continued. But today's interview with ECB Executive Board members Joachim Nagel and Isabel Schnabel will be about further interest rate hikes, so this, together with the empty macroeconomic calendar, will most likely lead to a further rise in the pair.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0923 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0964. An upward movement may resume at any moment. However, when buying, traders should make sure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it. Euro can also be bought after two consecutive price tests of 1.0892, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0923 and 1.0964.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0892 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0855. Pressure may persist in the event of inactivity at the daily highs. However, when selling, traders should 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 1.0923, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0892 and 1.0855.
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.
