Analysis of transactions and trading tips on EUR/USD
The test of 1.0729, coinciding with the drop of the MACD line from zero, seemed like a good signal to sell euro. However, despite poor data from the eurozone, especially from Germany, massive sell-off did not occur in the pair.
The US ISM non-manufacturing and composite PMIs lie ahead, and an increase in these indicators and the maintenance of activity above 50 points will lead to the rise of dollar demand and another decline in the pair. Meanwhile, data on the external trade balance will not have much impact on the market, but disappointing numbers will result in euro growing, indicating an upward correction.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0745 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0783. Growth may occur after weak data from the US. However, 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 1.0725, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0745 and 1.0783.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0725 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0696. Pressure will increase in the event of strong activity from the ISM. However, 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 1.0745, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0725 and 1.0696.

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.
