Analysis of transactions and tips for trading EUR/USD
Further decline became limited because the test of 1.0874 occurred during the sharp downward move of the MACD line from zero. Shortly after, another test took place, but this time the MACD line went within the oversold area, provoking a buy signal. This eventually resulted in a price increase of over 20 pips.
US data released last week kept EUR/USD within a horizontal channel, while the report on Germany's producer prices had no impact on market direction. Most likely, volatility will be at the same low level today due to the empty macroeconomic calendar.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0911 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0945. Growth will occur in continuation of the upward trend, which will occur if the pair breaks through 1.0911.
When buying, make sure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it. Euro can also be bought after two consecutive price tests of 1.0889, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0911 and 1.0945.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0889 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0859. Pressure will return in the case of a failed consolidation at the daily high.
When selling, make sure that the MACD line lies under zero or drops down from it. Euro can also be sold after two consecutive price tests of 1.0911, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0889 and 1.0859.

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.
