Analysis of transactions and tips for trading EUR/USD
Further decline became limited because the test of 1.0945 took place when the MACD line moved downward quite sharply from zero. Sometime later, a fairly strong rise occurred, but the test of 1.0967 happened when the MACD ascended above zero, halting the upward movement. On the second test, the MACD line went within the overbought area, provoking a sell signal. This resulted in a 20-pip drop in the pair. Strong data on US consumer confidence contributed to the decline of euro and the rise of dollar.
Trading may continue within the range as no important statistics will come out today. Sellers may attempt to break yesterday's lows.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0957 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0996. Growth will occur if buyers manage to protect the local low.
When buying, make sure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it. Euro can also be bought after two consecutive price tests of 1.0937, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0957 and 1.0996.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0937 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0910. Pressure will return if no bullish activity appears at yesterday's low.
When selling, make sure that the MACD line lies under zero or drops down from it. Euro can also be sold after two consecutive price tests of 1.0957, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0937 and 1.0910.

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.
