EUR/USD Trading Blueprint : Daily Strategy for Profitable Forex Trades
Published on: June 7, 2025
By: CapitalKeeper Forex Desk
The EUR/USD is the most liquid and widely traded currency pair in the world, representing the strength of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar. Understanding its behavior—especially in relation to the Dollar Index (DXY)—can significantly boost your trading profitability.
Let’s break down a complete daily trading strategy, combining technical tools, fundamental insights, and a repeatable plan to trade EUR/USD like a pro.
🔍 EUR/USD & Its Importance
- Accounts for ~30% of global forex transactions.
- Highly influenced by ECB vs Fed policy divergence, macroeconomic data, and geopolitical shifts.
- Moves in strong correlation with DXY (inverse).
📌 Rule of Thumb:
When DXY rises, EUR/USD typically falls, and vice versa.
📊 Daily Technical Analysis Framework
🧭 1. Identify the Trend
- Use 200 EMA (Daily) to identify long-term trend.
- Add 50 EMA (1H) for short-term entries.
Bullish Setup: Price > 200 EMA, Higher Highs/Higher Lows
Bearish Setup: Price < 200 EMA, Lower Highs/Lower Lows
🔑 2. Key Support & Resistance
- Mark:
- Previous Day High/Low
- Weekly High/Low
- Major psychological levels (e.g., 1.0700, 1.0800)
Use Fibonacci Retracement on the last impulsive wave to project key levels.
📉 3. RSI + MACD + Candlestick Combo
- RSI (14):
Overbought > 70, Oversold < 30 → Wait for divergence - MACD:
Look for crossover near S/R zones to confirm reversals or continuation. - Price Action:
Focus on:- Bullish/bearish engulfing
- Doji or pin bar near key levels
🧠 Daily Action Plan to Trade EUR/USD
✅ Step 1: Pre-Market Preparation (Before 12 PM IST)
- Check DXY trend on 1H and Daily.
- Read overnight headlines:
- Eurozone CPI, PMI
- US data (JOLTS, NFP, PCE, Fed minutes)
- Check correlation with Gold and bond yields.
📢 Example: If DXY breaks out bullish + Fed hawkish tone, look to short EUR/USD at resistance.
✅ Step 2: Intraday Setup (London Open – 12:30 PM IST Onward)
| Criteria | Bullish Signal | Bearish Signal |
|---|---|---|
| EMA Setup | Price above 50/200 EMA | Price below EMAs |
| RSI | RSI rebound from 40 | RSI reject from 60 |
| MACD | Bullish crossover | Bearish crossover |
| Price Action Signal | Bullish engulfing @ S | Bearish pin bar @ R |
🚨 Use 5-min and 15-min chart for entry after 1H confirmation.
✅ Step 3: Entry, SL & Target Strategy
Buy Setup
- Entry: Near demand zone (e.g., 1.0800)
- SL: Below swing low (20–30 pips)
- TP: Next resistance (40–60 pips)
Sell Setup
- Entry: Near resistance (e.g., 1.0890)
- SL: Above swing high
- TP: Key support zone
📌 Stick to 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio minimum.
✅ Step 4: Post-Market Review (After 8 PM IST)
- Journal:
- Chart screenshot
- Reason for trade
- Entry/exit emotion level (1–10)
- Track what worked:
- Was DXY aligned?
- Did price respect EMAs or fake out?
💼 Smart EUR/USD Strategies
1. News-Driven Spike Fade
- Wait for 15-min reversal candle after spike.
- SL at high/low of spike wick.
2. London Breakout Strategy
- Trade breakout of 8:30–12:30 PM IST range.
