Analysis of Tuesday's Trades:

1H Chart of the EUR/USD Pair

The EUR/USD currency pair continued its upward movement on Tuesday, but the upward momentum remains very weak and may quickly fade. In recent days, the markets have perked up on Trump's statements that the war in Iran may soon end. The U.S. president also announced yesterday that the Strait of Hormuz would be unblocked. As a result, oil prices have dropped, and the dollar has weakened. However, few paid attention to statements from Tehran, which promised to destroy America in response to new missile attacks from Washington and indicated that no barrel of oil would pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Thus, one small step has been taken toward de-escalating the conflict, but many more are needed to fully resolve it. The market remains primed to "buy dollars" and will not hesitate to do so in any dangerous situation.

How to Trade on Wednesday:

On the hourly timeframe, the downward trend continues due to the new war in the Middle East. At the beginning of 2026, the long-term upward trend resumed, so we expect a new medium-term rise in the euro. The overall fundamental background remains very challenging for the U.S. dollar, as confirmed by reports on the labor market, GDP, and unemployment. However, at this time, geopolitics remains more important than the economy.

On Wednesday, novice traders may consider short positions if the price consolidates below the 1.1584-1.1591 area or if there is a new bounce from the 1.1655-1.1666 area. A bounce from the 1.1584-1.1591 area will allow for long positions with a target of 1.1655-1.1666.

On the 5-minute timeframe, the following levels should be considered: 1.1354-1.1363, 1.1413, 1.1455-1.1474, 1.1527-1.1531, 1.1584-1.1591, 1.1655-1.1666, 1.1745-1.1754, 1.1830-1.1837, 1.1899-1.1908. On Wednesday, the only significant event is the U.S. Consumer Price Index. This is indeed an important report, but how significant will it be for traders under current circumstances? That's the question... Recently, the market has ignored disappointing data on the labor market, unemployment, and U.S. GDP.

Key Principles of the Trading System:

1. The strength of a signal is determined by the time it takes to form the signal (bounce or breakout). The less time taken, the stronger the signal.
2. If two or more trades have been opened at a particular level based on false signals, all subsequent signals from that level should be ignored.
3. In a flat market, any pair can form many false signals or none at all. In any case, at the first signs of a flat trend, it is best to stop trading.
4. Trading deals are to be opened during the period between the start of the European session and the mid-American session, after which all trades should be closed manually.
5. On the hourly timeframe, it is preferable to trade based on signals from the MACD indicator only when there is good volatility and a trend confirmed by a trend line or trend channel.
6. If two levels are positioned too close together (5-20 pips apart), they should be considered a support or resistance area.
7. Upon moving 15 pips in the correct direction, a Stop Loss should be set to breakeven.

What to Look for on the Charts:

Price levels of support and resistance are levels that serve as targets when opening buys or sells. Take Profit levels can be placed around them.

Red lines represent channels or trend lines that show the current trend and indicate the direction in which it is preferable to trade now.

The MACD indicator (14,22,3) – the histogram and the signal line – is a supporting indicator that can also be used as a source of signals.

Important speeches and reports (always included in the news calendar) can significantly affect the movement of the currency pair. Therefore, during their release, trading should be done with utmost caution, or traders should exit the market to avoid sharp price reversals against the previous movement.

Beginning traders in the forex market should remember that not every trade can be profitable. Developing a clear strategy and effective money management are the keys to long-term trading success.
