The EUR/USD currency pair remains in a downtrend, although it showed quite a decent rise on Monday. The decline of the US currency was triggered by the initiation of a criminal case against Fed Chair Jerome Powell for overspending related to the reconstruction of Fed buildings four years ago. In reality, no criminal case has been opened, and charges have not been brought. However, the very fact that the presidential administration is suing the Fed chair could not help but provoke a market reaction. Traders understand that the investigation was initiated for only one reason — Powell's refusal to cut the key rate as demanded by the White House, which has no right to influence monetary policy. Nevertheless, Trump's tasks are not impossible. Powell leaves the Fed chair position in four months, but the US president still exerts pressure on him, likely as a lesson for the new Fed chair and other FOMC officials. There were no other events or news during the day.
On the 5-minute TF on Monday, one trading signal was formed. At the beginning of the European trading session, the area 1.1655–1.1666 was broken, which allowed novice traders to open long positions. As we can see, the rise did not last long, but the price ended the day above that area. A bounce and a new rise are possible. At the same time, movement to the north may be constrained by the descending trendline on the hourly TF.
On the hourly timeframe, the formation of a downtrend continues, as evidenced by the trendline. It was not possible to overcome the area 1.1800–1.1830, which is the upper boundary of the flat on the daily TF, so the technical decline is logical and may continue down to the 1.1400 level. The overall fundamental and macroeconomic background remains very weak for the US dollar, but the flat on the daily TF plays a priority role, and traders practically ignore the macroeconomic background.
On Tuesday, novice traders can again trade from the area 1.1655–1.1666. A bounce off this area will allow opening long positions with a target of 1.1745–1.1754. A close below this area will make shorts relevant with a target of 1.1584–1.1591.
On the 5-minute TF, the levels to consider are 1.1354–1.1363, 1.1413, 1.1455–1.1474, 1.1527–1.1531, 1.1550, 1.1584–1.1591, 1.1655–1.1666, 1.1745–1.1754, 1.1808, 1.1851, 1.1908, 1.1970–1.1988. Today, no important events or reports are scheduled in the EU, but an important inflation report will be published in the US, which may significantly increase the likelihood of an earlier resumption of Fed easing if the report shows further slowdown.
Support and resistance price levels — levels that serve as targets when opening buys or sells. Take Profit can be placed near them.
Red lines — channels or trendlines that reflect the current tendency and show which direction is preferable to trade now.
MACD indicator (14,22,3) — histogram and signal line — an auxiliary indicator that can also be used as a source of signals.
Important speeches and reports (always listed in the news calendar) can strongly affect a currency pair's movement. Therefore, during their release, trading should be done with maximum caution, or positions should be closed, to avoid a sharp price reversal against the preceding move.
