Analysis of transactions and trading tips on EUR/USD
Further growth became limited because the test of 1.0786 occurred at a time when the MACD line rose sharply from zero. Sometime later, another test took place, and this time the MACD line moved away from the overbought area, provoking a sell signal. However, it led to losses as a reversal did not occur since the pair continued to rise.
Strong data from Germany and the eurozone pushed euro higher even before the release of US statistics. However, the upcoming data may affect the market direction, as an increase in US consumer prices will lead to a rise in dollar demand, resulting in a decline in EUR/USD. But if the number disappoints, euro may continue its growth, leading to a further increase in the pair.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0812 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0865. Growth will occur only after very weak data from the US. That will convince the Fed to shift towards a more accommodative policy.
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 1.0783, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area, as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0812 and 1.0865.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0783 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0740. Pressure will increase in the case of a sharp rise in US consumer prices.
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 1.0812, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0783 and 1.0740.

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.
