Practical Trading Insights

1. Price Action: The price has been oscillating between a swing high marked on the chart and a lower support level. It's currently nearing the upper boundary of this range, which could act as resistance.
2. Trend Lines: There's a descending trend line (in red) that has been touched several times, reinforcing its significance as resistance. If the price breaks above this trend line, it could signal a change in the current trend.
3. Moving Averages: The price is currently between the 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA, in green) and the 50-period Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA, in orange). The EMA is below the current price, which could act as support, and the DEMA is above, which could act as resistance. The proximity of price to these averages suggests a consolidation phase.
4. Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI is around 53.15, which is neutral. This indicates that there is neither strong buying nor selling momentum currently dominating the market. The RSI would need to move above 70 to indicate overbought conditions or below 30 to indicate oversold conditions for a stronger directional bias.
5. Potential Scenarios:
   • Bullish Scenario: If the price breaks above the descending trend line and the DEMA, and the RSI moves towards the overbought territory, it might indicate an upcoming bullish trend.
   • Bearish Scenario: If the price fails to break the resistance and falls below the EMA, accompanied by a dip in the RSI towards the oversold region, it could suggest bearish momentum.

   Important Reminder
   The begginers in forex trading 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 market fluctuations due to increased volatility. If you decide to trade during the news release, 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. For successful trading, you need to have a clear trading plan and stay focues and disciplined. Spontaneous trading decision based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for a scalper or daytrader.#instaforex #analysis #sebastianseliga
