Analysis of transactions and trading tips on EUR/USD

Further decline became limited because the test of 1.0895 occurred at a moment when the MACD line moved downward quite sharply from zero. No other market signal appeared for the rest of the day.

This afternoon, nothing important will come out besides the Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index. However, it will not have much impact on the pair, continuing the low trading volume and low market volatility.

For long positions:

Buy when euro hits 1.0905 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0935. Growth may occur, but it will not be very strong. Also, it will happen only after a rise above the daily high and movement towards 1.0935.

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 1.0877, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area, as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0905 and 1.0935

For short positions:

Sell when euro reaches 1.0877 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0844. Pressure will increase in the absence of bullish activity around 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 1.0905, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0877 and 1.0844.

What's on the chart:

Thin green line - entry price at which you can buy EUR/USD

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

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.
