Analysis of transactions and tips on trading EUR
Yesterday, trading activity was somehow affected by the fact that the euro was trading in a narrow channel. The first two attempts to test 1.1319 occurred at the very beginning of the European session. However, at the time of reaching this level, the MACD indicator was located in the overbought zone. It restrained the upward momentum. So, many traders switched to short positions. However, a major drop in the pair did not happen. The quotes lost only 10 pips. In the afternoon, the price broke above 1.1319 but there were no signals to enter the market due to a discrepancy with the MACD indicator. Only in the afternoon, the euro tumbled, testing the level of 1.1294. The MACD indicator entered the oversold area. So, a new signal was formed to open long positions, which brought about 25 pips of profit.
The eurozone consumer price index report did not surprise traders as its reading completely coincided with economists' forecasts. Therefore, bulls were unable to give a boost to the euro in the first half of the day. Several Fed members made a speech during the New York session. however, market participants mostly ignored it. Today, in the morning, the economic calendar does not contain any important reports for the eurozone. This is why traders are likely to focus on the speech of Fabio Panetta, a member of the Executive Council of the European Central Bank. In the afternoon, the US will unveil the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index as well as the weekly jobless claims report. These reports are unlikely to have a huge impact on the market. Rafael Bostic, John Williams, and Mary Daly are scheduled to deliver a speech by the end of the day.

Scenario 1: it is recommended to open long positions on the euro when the price reaches 1.1335 (the green line on the chart) with the target level of 1.1385. At the level of 1.1385, it is better to lock in profits and sell the euro, counting on a movement of 10-15 pips in the opposite direction from the level. The euro may climb higher amid the newly formed upward correction. Important! Before opening long positions, make sure that the MACD indicator is above the zero mark and it has just started to rise from it.

If you decide to trade during the news release, then always place Stop Orders to minimize losses. Without placing Stop Orders, you may lose the entire deposit very quickly, especially if you do not use money management, but trade in large volumes.
