The 52-day moving average is capping the upside, indicating an overall trend of selling EUR and buying USD.

Day trading strategy (1 hour)

Analyzing the 1-hour chart for EURUSD, today’s market remains quiet due to the Christmas holidays, making price movements hard to predict.

With shortened trading hours, the market is expected to remain within a narrow range.

No day trading strategy will be implemented today. Typically, the holiday period sees limited price action, reducing trading opportunities. As the forex market operates on a shortened schedule, traders are advised to relax and prepare for next week’s activity.

A speech by the Bank of Japan Governor is scheduled for today. Holding open positions may lead to difficulties in closing trades, and price gaps at tomorrow’s market opening are possible. Caution is advised.
