Analysis of transactions in the EUR / USD pair

A sell signal appeared in the market yesterday. However, it had to be ignored because the MACD line was at the oversold area. No other signal appeared for the rest of the day.

Trading recommendations for May 11

Pay attention to the upcoming macro statistics today as those will certainly affect investor sentiment. If the figures are much better than projected, then demand for the euro will continue to increase. The day will end with speeches from several Fed officials.

For long positions:

Enter a long position when the quote reaches 1.2155 (green line on the chart), and then take profit around the level of 1.2214. Euro will trade higher if macro statistics for Germany and the whole Euro area comes out strong. But before buying, make sure that the MACD line is above zero, or is starting to rise from it.

For short positions:

Enter a short position when the quote reaches 1.2120 (red line on the chart), and then take profit at the level of 1.2074. Euro will turn down if macro statistics for Germany and the whole Euro area comes out weak. But before selling, make sure that the MACD line is below zero, or is starting to move down from it.

What's on the chart:

The thin green line is the key level at which you can place long positions in the EUR / USD pair.

The thick green line is the target price, since the quote is unlikely to move above this level.

The thin red line is the level at which you can place short positions in the EUR / USD pair.

The thick red line is the target price, since the quote is unlikely to move below this level.

MACD line - when entering the market, it is important to be guided by the overbought and oversold zones.

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 decisions based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for an intraday trader.
