Today's Outlook

Patience Around Scheduled News

Require London price action to establish EUR/USD’s direction; avoid entries around EUR unemployment and GDP news at 08:55, 09:00 and 10:00 UK. Avoid chasing moves around EUR inflation at 13:00, USD employment costs at 12:30, Chicago PMI at 13:45 and Fed Musalem at 16:30 UK.

Technical Bias

Bearish — Price remains below the H4 SMA200.

Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low from 00:00-08:00 UK. Enter only after a candle on the 1-hour chart closes clearly at the Asian high or low and price holds there.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

A candle on the 1-hour chart closes beyond the Asian session high or low after the 10:00 UK EUR releases.

Then

Stop trading between the Asian high and low; wait for price to return to the crossed Asian high or low.

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 alerts at the Asian session high and low instead of watching every candle.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Cancel resting EUR/USD entries before each listed risk window.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Judge each setup on its own candle close; do not assume one release determines the release that follows it.

Use this checklist to guide today’s trading session.

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