Analysis of transactions and trading tips on EUR/USD
The test of 1.0804 occurred during the decline of the MACD line from zero. This provoked a sell signal, but no strong downward movement took place, resulting in losses.
Euro rose in price as manufacturing activity in the eurozone indicated an improvement in the situation. Inflation data also suggested a slower decrease in price pressure. However, in the afternoon, data on ISM manufacturing index, as well as the reports on consumer sentiment and inflation expectations from the University of Michigan could affect market dynamics. Similarly, speeches by FOMC members Raphael Bostic, Christopher Waller, and Mary Daly may push dollar up, provided that they keep their firm stance on monetary policy.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0847 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0909. 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 1.0799, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area, as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0847 and 1.0909.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0799 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0745 Pressure will return in the case of strong data from the US and an unsuccessful surge above the daily high.
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 1.0847, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0799 and 1.0745.

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.
