Today's Outlook

Patient News Trading Day

There is EUR CPI news at 10:00 UK and USD jobs news at 13:30 UK, so EUR/USD can change sharply around both times. Wait for London trading to show a clear pattern, and avoid chasing the first EUR/USD price change after either release.

Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low. Enter EUR/USD only after price closes beyond either mark or clearly turns away from it.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart closes clearly beyond the Asian session high or low following EUR CPI at 10:00 UK.

Then

Stop trading between the Asian session high and low. Use the crossed mark only if EUR/USD continues to hold beyond it.

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