Patient Trading Around Speeches

Wait for London to show clear price behaviour in EUR/USD, because only the Asian session provides price action before 08:00 UK. Avoid rushed entries around ECB's Elderson Speaks at 10:30 UK, FOMC Member Bowman Speaks at 13:15 UK, and ECB President Lagarde Speaks at 14:30 UK.

Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low on EUR/USD. Before entering, watch whether price turns away from either boundary or a candle on the 1-hour chart closes clearly beyond it.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

After ECB President Lagarde Speaks at 14:30 UK, EUR/USD closes beyond the Asian session high or low on the 1-hour chart.

Then

Stop using the Asian session boundaries as the main guide; mark the new 1-hour high and low before another entry.

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