On Wednesday, EUR/USD gradually edged up. Volatility was extremely low again, just 50 pips, like the last two days. It is very difficult to trade the pair with such volatility and the absence of an intraday trend. There was no macroeconomic background or fundamental background on Wednesday. In general, beginners shouldn't have entered the market. The most remarkable thing is that the pair settled below the ascending trend line, but then the pair eventually rose for the next 3.5 days. Slowly but surely. Thus, the current technical picture is so confusing and ambiguous that there is nothing more to add. So it's not the best time to trade.
There was only one signal on the 5-minute chart, and that was to sell. More precisely, there were two signals, but they simply duplicated each other. In both cases, the pair rebounded from the area of 1.0857-1.0867 and even managed to go down about 10 pips, so beginners could earn profit. Also, the pair managed to go down by 15 pips, which made it possible for traders to place the Stop Loss on breakeven. Therefore, if someone did not have time to close the position, there wouldn't be any losses. Take note: when the pair passes by as many as 50 points during the day, it is very difficult to expect strong trade signals and profit. But in this case, we can say that we are very lucky that there was only one signal, instead of 5 or 10 false signals.
On the 30-minute chart, the pair has formally finished forming an uptrend and now it might go down, which is what I've been expecting. The euro has exhausted its growth potential, and even rose more than it was justified by the fundamental and macroeconomic background in recent weeks. There are some reasons why the euro grew, but so far we have a sell signal and a need to correct. However, the market completely ignores all the signals and reasons and just continues to buy. On the 5-minute chart, it is recommended to trade at the levels 1.0465-1.0483, 1.0535, 1.0587-1.0607, 1.0692, 1.0737, 1.0792, 1.0857-1.0867, 1.0920-1.0933, 1.0966, 1.0989. As soon as the price passes 15 pips in the right direction, you should set a Stop Loss to breakeven. On Thursday, Germany will release its March inflation report and the U.S. will release its fourth-quarter GDP report in its third estimate. Not the most important data, but when there is no data, the market may react quite violently to these as well.
1) The strength of the signal is determined by the time it took the signal to form (a rebound or a breakout of the level). The quicker it is formed, the stronger the signal is.
2) If two or more positions were opened near a certain level based on a false signal (which did not trigger a Take Profit or test the nearest target level), then all subsequent signals at this level should be ignored.
3) When trading flat, a pair can form multiple false signals or not form them at all. In any case, it is better to stop trading at the first sign of a flat movement.
4) Trades should be opened in the period between the start of the European session and the middle of the US trading hours when all positions must be closed manually.
5) You can trade using signals from the MACD indicator on the 30-minute time frame only amid strong volatility and a clear trend that should be confirmed by a trendline or a trend channel.
6) If two levels are located too close to each other (from 5 to 15 pips), they should be considered support and resistance levels.
Support and Resistance levels are the levels that serve as targets when buying or selling the pair. You can place Take Profit near these levels.
Red lines are channels or trend lines that display the current trend and show in which direction it is better to trade now.
The MACD indicator (14, 22, and 3) consists of a histogram and a signal line. When they cross, this is a signal to enter the market. It is recommended to use this indicator in combination with trend patterns (channels and trendlines).
Important announcements and economic reports that can be found on the economic calendar can seriously influence the trajectory of a currency pair. Therefore, at the time of their release, we recommend trading as carefully as possible or exiting the market in order to avoid sharp price fluctuations.
