Analysis of transactions and tips for trading EUR/USD

The test of 1.0768 on Friday afternoon, coinciding with the rise of the MACD line from zero, triggered a buy signal that resulted in a price increase of about 15 pips.

The pair may remain bullish amid the empty economic calendar today. Expectations that the Fed will finally decide not to raise rates at this week's meeting will also have a positive impact on euro, offsetting Friday's losses

For long positions:

Buy when euro hits 1.0761 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0788. Growth could continue as part of the newly formed trend. 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 1.0743, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0761 and 1.0788.

For short positions:

Sell when euro reaches 1.0743 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0705. Pressure may return amid inactivity around 1.0761. 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 1.0761, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0743 and 1.0705.

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.
