Analysis of transactions and trading tips on EUR/USD
Further growth became limited because the test of 1.0736 occurred during the sharp rise of the MACD line from zero. Statements made by ECB President Christine Lagarde did not change the market dynamics.
Data on retail sales, jobless claims, industrial production and the Empire Manufacturing index will come out this afternoon, and strong figures, especially on retail sales, will lead to a sharp rise in dollar and a decline in euro. On the other hand, disappointing data will cause the pair to resume its growth, bouncing off the yearly lows.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0755 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0793. Strong growth will occur after weak retail sales data.
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 1.0728, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area, as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0755 and 1.0793.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0728 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0685. Pressure will return in the case of strong retail sales data in 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 1.0755, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0728 and 1.0685.

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.
