Trang 3PART 1: EUR/USD CURRENCY PAIR ANALYSIS
1. What is the exchange rate between the Euro and the United States Dollar
(EUR/USD)?
The exchange rate of the Euro (the European Union's single currency) against the US dollar is known as EUR/USD (or €/$) This is also the two currencies' exchange rate (sometimes known as the cross rate, EUR/USD cross)
On the Forex market, the EUR/USD pair shows how many US dollars (quote) are required to purchase one Euro (base currency) Because it is the currency rate of the world's two largest and most powerful economies, the EUR/USD pair is the most popular among traders
2 EUR/USD Influencing Factors
This pair is affected by the reported economic facts of these two countries because it is the exchange rate between the two currencies of the world's two largest economies
Factors affecting the EUR/USD exchange rate and the currency pair
Leading indicators usually have a significant impact on the value of the Euro, generating volatility in the EUR/USD pair The following are some other indicators and factors that have a significant impact on the EUR:
Countries that are members of the European Union (and when the list is
changed)
The European Central Bank's monetary policy (ECB)
Employment rate and new job creation
Budget deficits and public debt levels in European Union countries
Political policy in the bloc and in relation to the rest of the world
Economic growth in the bloc's member countries
Factors that influence the price of the US dollar and the currency pair
Trang 4Similarly, leading indicators in the United States have a significant impact on the USD value, generating changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate Aside from indicators, political, social, and local and foreign policies of the United States all have a significant impact on the USD price Among the most important metrics and policies are:
The rate of increase of the United States' gross domestic product (GDP)
Interest rates published by the Federal Reserve (Fed)
Total amount of money in circulation (Fed)
Unemployment rate
Trade Treaties, Tariffs, and International Duties
Payment account balance
The total national debt and annual budget deficit of the United States
Events at the White House
Consumption Savings Rate and Household Income
Social security and insurance coverage
3. When is the best time to trade EUR/USD?
The Forex market is open 5 days a week, 24 hours a day However, the best time
to trade the EUR/USD pair is between 8 p.m and 11 p.m local time The European and American markets are both active during this time The market grew more active at that period, with more transactions This time frame has up to 25 pips of volatility (measured in pips)
You can trade the EUR/USD pair at a little earlier time frame if you trade outside of this time frame (from 15:00 to 18:00, Vietnam time) The European session has barely begun, and volatility can reach 22 pips at this time
Furthermore, the market moves differently depending on the day of the week Thursday is huge trade day, with the market being the most active (up to 90 pips), followed by Wednesday and Friday (up to 78 pips) Monday, on the other hand, is the market's quietest day (around 60 pips) This could be due to the fact that major indicators for both economies are frequently reported around the middle of the week
Trang 54 When is the best time to buy or sell EUR/USD?
When a trader believes that the US economy will suffer (and hence the USD would depreciate), he or she will place a BUY EUR/USD order, anticipating that the EUR will rise in value
In contrast, if they believe the US economy will strengthen and the Euro will weaken, they will now place a SELL EUR/USD order, anticipating a depreciation of the Euro

research
Actual situation analysis:
The current reality has remained largely unchanged; the price mostly consolidated with low volatility over the course of the year The forex market has done little this week because the market is awaiting the release of two important data points: the CPI (inflation) data from the United States on Friday, and more information on the likely impact of the omicron coronavirus variant As a result, the price of this currency pair is likely to fluctuate only slightly today
While the euro has been trading sideways and volatile for the past few days, there has been a bid in the currency, and it's possible that the short-term bearish retracement will end with a bullish bounce at the support level at $1.1301, which could make for an attractive trade opportunity should it be reached

Actual situation analysis:
The Euro has suffered a significant decline during the trading session on Thursday, wiping off the majority of the gains made on Wednesday The bottom of the previous downtrend channel, which we have seen offer resistance based on "market memory," indicates that this is a market that has been struggling in general
Keep in mind that the European Central Bank continues to be very loose with its monetary policy, while the Federal Reserve is stepping away from tapering That in and
of itself could but downward pressure on this pair, but if we get more of a “risk off attitude” around the world, that also drives up the value of the US dollar

Actual situation analysis:
The euro initially fell on Friday but turned around to recover again and reach towards 1.1350 level This is an area that will come into the picture noisily, as we have continued to rally and form a bit of an ascending triangle, but it is sitting just below a major trendline that had been part of the descending channel If we can break above the 1.14 level, then we may pick up a little bit of momentum, but until then I look at this as essentially the market going nowhere
The euro initially dipped on Friday, but quickly recovered to reach a new high near the 1.1350 mark, before falling again
So we need to purchase during the rising phase and take profits before the price enters the downturn phase

in order to return to its bullish channel and avoid a recurrence of the previous breach of the bullish channel The pair is on the verge of hitting the 112.00 support level, which
is critical in turning the overall trend downward Whatever the Federal Reserve's actions, selling the currency pair at every bullish level will continue to be the best strategy

Proceed to buy the EUR/USD currency pair before the market moves, namely fluctuations:
The European Central Bank is poised to announce a phased withdrawal from the extraordinary pandemic stimulus in the face of inflation, which is increasing in severity
as a result of the omicron coronavirus variable, which is becoming increasingly prevalent
Eurozone manufacturing and services PMI numbers will be released tomorrow, and their release will have an impact on the currency's performance
The markets had already priced in the Federal Reserve's decision to end its asset purchase program and raise interest rates in the United States next year, which caused the EUR/USD to extend its losses to the 1.2221 support level before rebounding and settling around the 1.2290 level as of this morning

Actual situation analysis:
The dollar sank in Asia on Thursday morning, as the US Federal Reserve tightened monetary policy
Also on Thursday morning, the pound rose 0.8 percent against the dollar after the Bank of England lifted interest rates for the first time since the pandemic began The pound gained ground across the board after the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee voted 8/1 to raise the base rate from 0.1 percent to 0.25 percent The decision appeared to disappoint investors, who assumed that the UK central bank would reverse its decision to hike interest rates in the face of the new Omicron version
of the rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus
This caused some short selling in the GBP/USD pair, which coincided with the
US dollar's selling tendency following the FOMC decision This demonstrates that, in the context of the Fed tightening fiscal policy, this is also a potential for a large increase in the pound when the Bank of England announces interest rates, boosting the pound's buying tendency
