Today's Outlook

Patience Around Scheduled News

EUR Manufacturing PMI releases run from 08:15 to 09:00 UK, so wait for EUR/USD to settle after any sharp move. USD Initial Jobless Claims at 13:30, Manufacturing PMI at 14:45 and ISM Manufacturing PMI at 15:00 UK make chasing sudden moves dangerous.

Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low, then wait for a candle on the 1-hour chart to close beyond either price. At 13:30, 14:45 and 15:00 UK, avoid entry until EUR/USD holds beyond the first sharp move's high or low.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

From 15:15 to 16:25 UK, a candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the Asian session high or low.

Then

Follow that move only while EUR/USD stays beyond the broken Asian session high or low; stop using the earlier waiting plan.

Guidance — not a prediction. Today's plan may need to be reassessed if this trigger materialises.
