The price test of 1.0726 occurred at a time when the MACD indicator had moved significantly above the zero mark, which limited the EUR/USD pair's potential to rise at the end of the day. This potential was already questionable after last week's EUR/USD sell-off. For this reason, I did not buy the euro. Comments from Federal Reserve officials negatively impacted the dollar's prospects, although it's hard to say that this had a significant influence on the market dynamics.
This morning, traders should pay attention to reports on the Eurozone Consumer Price Index, especially the core prices, which significantly affect the European Central Bank's plans. In addition, the ZEW Economic Sentiment index for Germany and the Eurozone, and Germany's ZEW Current Conditions index may also provide impetus. Strong data is a reason to continue buying euros to support the upward trend. As for the intraday strategy, I will rely more on the implementation of scenarios No. 1 and 2.
Scenario No 1. Today, you can buy the euro when the price reaches 1.0744 plotted by the green line on the chart, aiming for growth to the level of 1.0778. At the level of 1.0778, I plan to exit the market and also sell the euro in the opposite direction, counting on a movement of 30-35 pips from the entry point. You can count on the euro to rise today after strong Eurozone data, but be careful about buying near the weekly high. Before buying, make sure that the MACD indicator is above the zero mark and is just starting to rise from it.
Scenario No 2. I am also going to buy the euro today in case of two consecutive tests of the price of 1.0719 at the time when the MACD indicator is in the oversold area. This will limit the downward potential of the instrument and lead to an upward reversal of the market. We can expect growth to the opposite levels of 1.0744 and 1.0778.
Scenario No 1. I plan to sell the euro after EUR/USD reaches the level of 1.0719 plotted by the red line on the chart. The target will be the level of 1.0691, where I am going to exit the market and buy immediately in the opposite direction (expecting a movement of 20-25 pips in the upward direction from the level). Pressure on EUR/USD will increase in case the price fails to consolidate near the intraday high and weak Eurozone data. Before selling, make sure that the MACD indicator is below the zero mark and is just starting to decline from it.
Scenario No 2. I am also going to sell the euro today in case of two consecutive price tests of 1.0744 at the time when the MACD indicator is in the overbought area. This will limit the pair's upward potential and lead to a downward reversal of the market. We can expect a decline to the opposite level of 1.0719 and 1.0691.
The thin green line is the entry price at which you can buy the trading instrument.
The thick green line is the price where you can set Take-Profit (TP) or manually fix profits, as further growth above this level is unlikely.
The thin red line is the entry price at which you can sell the trading instrument.
The thick red line is the 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 in the cryptocurrency market need to be very cautious when making decisions to enter the market. It is best to stay out of the market before important fundamental reports are released to avoid getting caught in sharp price fluctuations. If you decide to trade during news releases, always place stop orders to minimize losses. Without setting stop orders, you can quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you don't use money management and trade with large volumes.
Remember, for successful trading, it is necessary to have a clear trading plan, similar to the one I presented above. Spontaneously making trading decisions based on the current market situation is inherently a losing strategy for an intraday trader.
