EUR/USD did not show any distinct changes in its movement on Tuesday. We intentionally reduced the chart's scale so that traders could see that the pair has been trying to edge up for the past two weeks, but each time it does, it has been weak. Over the past three days, the pair showed positive trades and has managed to cover a distance of 70-80 pips during this time. This is all you need to know about the current volatility of the pair. There have been no changes in the fundamental and macroeconomic background either. The European Union released the final estimate of its inflation report for August, and it turned out to be 0.1% lower than the expected 5.3%. However, this report had no impact on the euro's movement.
At the beginning of the US trading session, the report on building permits issued in the United States was published, and the number of permits exceeded expectations. As a result, the dollar briefly strengthened by 30 pips over half an hour. However, these 30 pips had virtually no impact. There is a slight uptrend and even a channel in place, but volatility was so weak that it is practically impossible to trade with this pair.
On the 5-minute chart, you can clearly see what we meant when we said that it was impossible to trade this pair. The price moved 43 pips from the low to the high. There were no trading signals. Even if a buy signal had been formed around the 1.0673 level at the beginning of the European session, it would not have had any impact, and beginners would not have made any profit. Therefore, it's a good thing that there were no trading signals on Tuesday – in a flat market or with weak volatility, they are often false.
On the 30-minute chart, EURUSD started a weak correction. The euro still lacks robust bullish indicators. In the medium term, we anticipate the euro's further decline, but on Wednesday evening, the results of the FOMC meeting will be announced, so the volatility may gradually increase. The key levels on the 5M chart are 1.0517-1.0533, 1.0607-1.0613, 1.0673, 1.0733, 1.0767-1.0781, 1.0835, 1.0871, 1.0901-1.0904. A stop loss can be set at a breakeven point as soon as the price moves 15 pips in the right direction. On Wednesday, we can expect six speeches from European Central Bank officials, but they can all be considered secondary of importance since five or six members of the monetary committee have already spoken in the first half of the week. In the evening, the results of the FOMC meeting will be announced, followed by a press conference with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
1) The strength of the signal depends on the time period during which the signal was formed (a rebound or a break). The shorter this period, the stronger the signal.
2) If two or more trades were opened at some level following false signals, i.e. those signals that did not lead the price to Take Profit level or the nearest target levels, then any consequent signals near this level should be ignored.
3) During the flat trend, any currency pair may form a lot of false signals or do not produce any signals at all. In any case, the flat trend is not the best condition for trading.
4) Trades are opened in the time period between the beginning of the European session and until the middle of the American one when all deals should be closed manually.
5) We can pay attention to the MACD signals in the 30M time frame only if there is good volatility and a definite trend confirmed by a trend line or a trend channel.
6) If two key levels are too close to each other (about 5-15 pips), then this is a support or resistance area.
Support and Resistance price levels can serve as targets when buying or selling. You can place Take Profit levels near them.
Red lines are channels or trend lines that display the current trend and show which direction is better to trade.
MACD indicator (14,22,3) is a histogram and a signal line showing when it is better to enter the market when they cross. This indicator is better to be used in combination with trend channels or trend lines.
Important speeches and reports that are always reflected in the economic calendars can greatly influence the movement of a currency pair. Therefore, during such events, it is recommended to trade as carefully as possible or exit the market in order to avoid a sharp price reversal against the previous movement.
Beginners should remember that every trade cannot be profitable. The development of a reliable strategy and money management are the key to success in trading over a long period of time.
