Analysis of transactions in the EUR / USD pair
A number of signals appeared in the market yesterday. However, the first ones had to be ignored because they came during the time that the MACD line was in the overbought area. But by afternoon, the MACD line finally moved to zero, so the euro was able to climb by around 30 pips.

MACD line - when entering the market, it is important to be guided by the overbought and oversold zones.
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 decisions based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for an intraday trader.
