Analysis of transactions and tips for trading EUR/USD
Further growth became limited because the test of 1.0836 occurred during the sharp rise of the MACD line from zero. No other market signals appeared for the rest of the day,
Euro fell in price as consumer confidence data in the eurozone did not impress traders. Pressure also increased due to the downward revision of the 4th Quarter GDP report for the US.
Today, France and Germany will release their data on consumer prices, followed by an unemployment rate report for the eurozone. Good figures will help euro resume its upward momentum, leading to a new rise in the pair. The speech of ECB board member Joachim Nagel may also influence market sentiment.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0847 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0884. Growth will occur after strong data from the eurozone.
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 1.0821, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0847 and 1.0884.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0821 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0785. Pressure will increase in the case of unsuccessful bullish activity around the daily high and weak statistics from Germany.
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 1.0847, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0821 and 1.0785.

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.
