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!

The price test at 1.3285 coincided with the moment when the MACD indicator was beginning its downward movement from the zero mark, confirming an appropriate entry point to sell the pound; however, the pair did not decline significantly.
The Federal Reserve's decision to keep rates unchanged notably weakened the dollar and led to a sharp strengthening of the pound in the second half of the day yesterday. The central bank indicated that inflation is expected to return to target levels in the near future and that there is no need to raise rates for now, and the market interpreted this signal as dovish. When rate expectations shift toward easing, US Treasury yields decline, which in turn reduces the dollar's attractiveness and helps explain its retreat. The British pound capitalized on this weakness in the US currency and moved confidently higher.
Today, the key event for the pound will be the Bank of England meeting, during which the central bank will announce its rate decision and present the monetary policy report. The report is just as important as the decision itself, as it provides the market with insights into inflation assessments and economic prospects, thereby influencing the anticipated trajectory for rates. The consensus among economists is that the rate will remain unchanged, and such a scenario could partially weaken the British currency against the dollar, as the market would lack a reason for strengthening. Nonetheless, keeping the rate unchanged does not guarantee a clear reaction, as the pound will be sensitive to the central bank's rhetoric. A hawkish stance on inflation will support the British currency, while dovish signals will amplify its decline.
Regarding the intraday strategy, I will primarily implement scenarios #1 and #2.
Scenario #1: I plan to buy the pound today at an entry point around 1.3350 (green line on the chart), with a growth target of 1.3378 (thicker green line on the chart). At 1.3378, I plan to exit the long position and immediately sell in the opposite direction (expecting a move of 30-35 pips in the opposite direction from the level). Growth for the pound can only be expected after strong reports. Important! Before buying, make sure that the MACD indicator is above the zero mark and is just starting to rise from there.
Scenario #2: I also plan to buy the pound today in the event of two consecutive tests of the price 1.3334 when the MACD indicator is in the oversold area. This will limit the pair's downside potential and lead to an upward market reversal. A rise to the opposite levels of 1.3350 and 1.3378 can be expected.
Scenario #1: I plan to sell the pound today after updating the level at 1.3334 (red line on the chart), which will trigger a rapid decline in the pair. The key target for sellers will be 1.3301, where I intend to exit the short position and immediately buy in the opposite direction (expecting a move of 20-25 pips in the opposite direction from the level). Bad news will bring pressure back on the pound. Important! Before selling, make sure that the MACD indicator is below the zero mark and is just starting to decline from there.
Scenario #2: I also plan to sell the pound today in the case of two consecutive tests of the price 1.3350 when the MACD indicator is in the overbought area. This will limit the pair's upside potential and lead to a downward market reversal. A decline to the opposite levels of 1.3334 and 1.3301 can be expected.
Important: New traders in the Forex market should make decisions about market entry very cautiously. Before the release of important fundamental reports, it is best to stay out of the market to avoid sharp fluctuations in the exchange rate. If you decide to trade during news releases, always set stop orders to minimize losses. Without setting stop orders, you can quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you do not use money management and trade with large volumes.
And remember, for successful trading, it is essential to have a clear trading plan, like the one outlined above. Spontaneous trading decisions based on the current market situation are inherently a losing strategy for intraday traders.
