Trading recommendations for the EUR / USD pair on August 12

Analysis of transactions

A good report on industrial production in the euro area may raise the euro in the market this morning. However, a downward move could still occur afterwards, as data on inflation in the US will also be published, which will keep the bear market in the EUR / USD pair. Thus, sell transactions are the most recommended today for trading.

• Buy positions when the quote reaches a price level of 1.1755 (green line on the chart), targeting a rise to the level of 1.1802. The increase may occur after the release of a good report on eurozone industrial production. Take profit when the quote reaches 1.1802.
• Sell positions after the quote reaches the price level of 1.1712 (red line on the chart), targeting a fall towards the level of 1.1652. But before selling, wait for the publication of the report on US inflation, as data worse than forecasts ensures a price decrease in the market. Take profit at a price level of 1.1652.
