Analysis of transactions and trading tips on EUR/USD
The test of 1.0844, coinciding with the rise of the MACD line from zero, prompted a buy signal that led to a price increase of around 15 pips. Pressure returned shortly after.
Ahead lies important data from the US, and the key among them will be the reports on jobless claims and industrial production. Better-than-expected data will increase pressure on the pair, especially if Fed representatives remain hawkish on monetary policy.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0861 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0900. Strong growth will occur amid very weak US statistics.
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 1.0842, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area, as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0861 and 1.0900.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0842 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0815. Pressure will increase in the case of strong data from the US.
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 1.0861, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0842 and 1.0815.
What's on the chart:

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.
