EUR/USD Analysis and Trading Tips: Identifying Entry Points and Managing Risks
InstaForex Analysis 20.06.2023 09:52
Analysis of transactions and tips for trading EUR/USD The test of 1.0929 on Monday afternoon, coinciding with the significant rise of the MACD line from zero, limited the upward potential of the pair. The Bundesbank report dealt no impact on market sentiment yesterday, allowing EUR/USD to rise, albeit briefly.
This momentum may extend to today as the data on ECB's balance of payments will not affect the pair's direction, while the speech of ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos, which will undoubtedly maintain a hawkish tone, will sustain demand for euro even under current conditions. Market volatility will most likely return today.
For long positions:
Buy when euro hits 1.0935 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0964. Although a strong growth may not appear today, buyers will start returning to the market, leading to the strengthening of the pair.
However, when buying, traders should make sure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it. Euro can also be bought after two consecutive price tests of 1.0911, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0935 and 1.0964.
For short positions:
Sell when euro reaches 1.0911 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0878. Pressure may return in the event of inactivity at the daily highs. However, when selling, traders should 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 1.0935, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0911 and 1.0878.

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.
