Analysis of transactions and trading tips on EUR/USD
Further decline became limited as the test of 1.0883 coincided with the sharp downward move of the MACD line from zero. Sometime later, another test took place, but since the Fed shifted its policy to a more dovish tone, buyers took advantage to provoke a correction, resulting in a rise to 1.0916.
A firm stance by the ECB will let euro continue its upward movement. However, if the position suddenly softens and the bank announces plans to cut rates soon, euro will plummet. Data on retail sales and jobless claims will not influence the market sentiment much.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0929 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0993. Growth will occur after a firm position by the ECB on interest rates next year.
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 1.0899, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area, as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0929 and 1.0993.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0899 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0835. Pressure will increase in the case of a soft position by the ECB.
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 1.0929, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0899 and 1.0835.

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.
