FX.co ★ Analysis and trading tips for EUR/USD on July 3 (US session)

Pressure on euro may intensify amid strong economic statistics from the US. Meanwhile, a somewhat weak but growing ISM manufacturing index may be reported today, which will indicate a less active contraction in manufacturing activity. This will fuel dollar demand, leading to new sell-offs in EUR/USD during the US session. If no selling activity occurred after good US statistics, euro bulls will attempt to recover their losses, which will result in a rise in the pair.

For long positions:

Buy when euro hits 1.0915 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0939. Growth will only be possible after weak data from the US. However, before 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 1.0888, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0915 and 1.0939.

For short positions:

Sell when euro reaches 1.0888 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0852. Pressure will increase in the case of strong data on US manufacturing activity. However, before 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 1.0915, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0888 and 1.0852.

What's on the chart:

Thin red line - entry price at which you can sell EUR/USD

Thick red line - estimated price where you can set Take-Profit (TP) or manually fix profits, as further decline below this level is unlikely.

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.
