The legend in the InstaSpot team!
Legend! You think that's bombastic rhetoric? But how should we call a man, who became the first Asian to win the junior world chess championship at 18 and who became the first Indian Grandmaster at 19? That was the start of a hard path to the World Champion title for Viswanathan Anand, the man who became a part of history of chess forever. Now one more legend in the InstaSpot team!
Borussia is one of the most titled football clubs in Germany, which has repeatedly proved to fans: the spirit of competition and leadership will certainly lead to success. Trade in the same way that sports professionals play the game: confidently and actively. Keep a "pass" from Borussia FC and be in the lead with InstaSpot!
The EUR/USD currency pair continued trading lower on Monday. The euro's decline began at the open, as the market this time priced in the start of the war in Yemen and the French budget crisis. In essence, we have been watching the same picture on the FX market for a month: traders find reasons to buy the dollar, act on them, and pay no heed to all factors that would support the euro. Recall that just last week, Eurozone and German inflation reports should have supported the euro. US labor and unemployment reports should have supported the euro. A reduction in hawkish Federal Reserve expectations should have supported the euro. Yet the market continues to ignore all inconvenient factors, so we still view the current movement as inertial, speculative, and illogical. The descending trendline remains relevant despite being breached.
On the 5-minute TF on Monday, a sell signal was generated. During the European session, the price bounced off the 1.1198 level but moved down only about 17 pips. Thus, the short position closed at breakeven by Stop Loss. Another sell signal formed overnight, but that trade closed the same way.
On the hourly timeframe, EUR/USD continues a downward trend that is now a full-fledged trend. Given all recent events, we do not believe the euro should be falling like a stone. But the market keeps buying the US dollar, ignoring any events or releases.
On Tuesday, novice traders can consider short positions on a close below the 1.1198–1.1218 area with targets of 1.1132–1.1140. Open long positions on a close above the 1.1198–1.1218 area, targeting 1.1267–1.1275.
On the 5-minute TF consider the levels 1.1132–1.1140, 1.1198–1.1218, 1.1267–1.1275, 1.1366–1.1377, 1.1461–1.1474, 1.1527–1.1531, 1.1584–1.1594, 1.1655–1.1665. On Tuesday, the Eurozone will publish retail-sales data, and the US will release the weekly ADP employment report. We view both as secondary and do not expect a market reaction. The US dollar's advance can resume at any moment. Expect euro upside only after a confirmed close back above the trendline.
Price levels (areas) of support and resistance serve as targets for opening buy or sell trades or as sources of signals.
Red lines indicate channels or trend lines that show the current trend and the preferred trading direction.
The MACD indicator (14,22,3) — the histogram and signal line — is an auxiliary indicator that can also provide signals.
Important speeches and reports (listed in the news calendar) can significantly influence currency pair movements. Therefore, during their release, traders should approach trading with utmost caution, or exit the market to avoid sudden reversals against the preceding move.
Beginner forex traders should remember that not every trade can be profitable. Developing a clear strategy and practicing money management are key to long-term success in trading.
