The released statistics for the eurozone did not help euro rally, so pressure returned after some time. Most likely, this decline will continue in the afternoon, following the speeches of several Fed representatives. Since many expect the persistence of price pressure, the central bank may continue its tight policy in September, which plays in favor of dollar.

For long positions:

Buy when euro hits 1.0986 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.1035. Growth will occur only amid dovish statements from Fed representatives.

When buying, ensure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it. Euro can also be bought after two consecutive price tests of 1.0955, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0986 and 1.1035.

For short positions:

Sell when euro reaches 1.0955 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0919. Pressure may increase at any moment, especially after the speeches of Fed representatives. However, when selling, 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 1.0986, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0955 and 1.0919.

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

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.
