Today's Outlook

Patient Event Risk Day

Core PCE Price Index (MoM) at 12:30 UK and ECB Interest Rate Decision at 13:15 UK can move EUR/USD sharply. Let London show how price treats the Asian high and low after 08:00 UK, and avoid chasing the ECB Press Conference at 13:45 UK.

Technical Bias

Bearish — Price remains below the H4 SMA200.

Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low, then judge EUR/USD using candles formed after 08:00 UK. Avoid new entries from 12:20 to 14:05 UK.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

After 14:05 UK, a EUR/USD candle closes beyond the highest or lowest price formed between 13:15 and 14:05 UK.

Then

Use the 13:15-14:05 high or low as the price to watch before considering an entry.

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

Today's Trading Checklist

Run through every step below before placing a trade today.

Statuses update automatically as today's plan and trading windows progress. They show when each point is most relevant — you still confirm the trading conditions on the chart.

  1. Step 01Plan closed

    Set the maximum loss for each EUR/USD trade before the 08:00 UK window begins.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Treat price staying between the Asian high and low by 12:20 UK as no setup, not a missed opportunity.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Review any entry against both the daily chart and the latest four-hour candle before committing risk.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

Tip: Copy this checklist into today’s Workspace and tick items off as you trade.
