Analysis of transactions and tips for trading EUR/USD
Further growth became limited because the test of 1.0773 occurred during the strong upward move of the MACD line from zero. Poor report on Germany's industrial production volume also halted the rally, while the statements from Fed representatives led to a decline in the pair during the US session.
EUR/USD currently trades within the horizontal channel, but the upcoming speeches of ECB representatives may help break out of it. A firm stance will favor euro in the short term, leading to a price increase. The economic bulletin from the ECB may also affect the direction of the pair.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0797 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0825. Growth will only be possible with very strong eurozone statistics and firm comments from ECB representatives.
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 1.0777, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0797 and 1.0825.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0777 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0746. Pressure on the pair will increase amid very weak macroeconomic statistics and an unsuccessful attempt to consolidate 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 1.0797, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0777 and 1.0746.

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.
