EUR/USD remains capped below 1.0900 on stronger USD

FXStreet (Mumbai) - Having bottomed ahead of hourly 200-SMA near 1.0870 levels, EUR/USD is seen wavering in a narrow range below 1.09 handle, with the offered tone intact following the releases of weaker Eurozone Sentix figures.

EUR/USD consolidates below 1.0900

Currently, the EUR/USD pair trades -0.39% lower at 1.0883, retracing slightly from session lows struck at 1.0873, near hourly 200-SMA placed at 1.0865. The main currency pair continues to consolidate to the downside before the next leg lower, as the US dollar keeps gradually pushing higher against its major competitors against the backdrop divergent central banks’ outlooks.

Moreover, the positive sentiment on the European stocks combined with higher US treasury yields point towards persisting risk-on market profile and therefore, weighs the euro, which acts more as a funding currency now. Germany’s DAX gains 0.55% while the Euro Stoxx 50 is up 0.53%.

Furthermore, the downbeat Eurozone Sentix Investor confidence data adds to the downward pressure on the EUR, keeping the major in the red. The headline EMU Sentix Economic Index fell 6.1 points to +9.6 in January. Later today, the US labor market conditions report will be eyed amid a data-quiet US session ahead.

EUR/USD Technical Levels

In terms of technicals, the pair finds the immediate resistance is seen at 1.0970/78 (daily high/ 100-DMA). A break beyond the last, doors will open for a test of 1.1000 (psychological levels). On the flip side, the immediate support is placed at 1.0865/63 (1h 200-SMA/ 10-DMA), below which 1.0827/22 (1h 100-SMA/ 50-DMA) could be tested.

Round 46 of OctaFX Champion demo contest: time to congratulate the winners!

Here are some good news for those who are thinking of taking part in OctaFX Champion demo contest! The new Round 47 starts in a few days, so don’t miss your chance to fight and win the valuable prizes: join the contest here. In the meantime, let’s congratulate the winners of Round 46:

• 1st place with the award of 500 USD goes to Mr. Adi Slamet Priyono from Indonesia
• 2nd place with the award of 300 USD goes to Mr. Taswan from Indonesia
• 3rd place with the award of 100 USD goes to Mr. Ab Ghaffar bin Hussin from Malaysia
• The last runner in the contest, Mr. Deosmon Delsy from Indonesia is granted 100 USD

They were happy to share their experiences and secrets of success:

1st place - Mr. Adi Slamet Priyono from Indonesia

I’m very happy and proud that I won a round of OctaFX Champion demo contest. I learned about OctaFX from my friends who had been trading with this company for a long time. I was curious, so I immediately took part in the Champion contest. To be honest, I didn’t think I’d be the winner. And I won! Now I’ll be more serious about trading and spend much more time learning about the technical and fundamental analysis tools. As for the key to success, my secret is charity. I’m always thinking of helping others, so, God willing, half of the prize will be donated to the construction of mosques or to the people who need these money more than me. I would like to thank OctaFX for providing such an opportunity for beginners like me. I’ll definitely develop my skills to the better after this contest.

2nd place - Mr. Taswan from Indonesia

I’m glad to be one of the winners of the contest. As a matter of fact, I don’t spend too much time trading: I usually use long time frames. I will surely participate in the next rounds! My key is being consistent and disciplined. These are two main ideas that any successful trader should keep in mind. My strategy is to wait for a proper moment, to trade when market conditions are good. I can’t say I’ve ever had any serious losses, so it probably means my idea works. My advice for the novices would be to practice as long as they can. It takes at least 6 months to understand the basic principles and methods. Then the real trading starts.

3rd place - Mr. Ab Ghaffar bin Hussin from Malaysia

I’ve participated in 12 rounds of this contest. Round 46 became my lucky one, and I managed to win. I’ve been following this contest based on the information provided by my friends and also by the media. I don’t feel it took a lot of time. At least, it wasn’t too much for me. The key to my success was the ability to take charge of my emotions. In Forex, keeping emotions under control is vitally important. My strategy was simply to use the Fibo retracements and the MACD indicator. Having an insight of the current trend also helped. Using these tips, I managed to get a good profit with a capital of only USD 1000. I’ve been learning Forex for about a year and two months now and I figured out a good formula: don’t be greedy and keep fear and emotions under control.

Register in the next round and take the challenge!

The winner of Supercharged Round 16: behind the scenes

The Round 16 winner of Supercharged real contest is here with his exciting secrets and advice for those who are getting ready to participate! Mr. Satriya Agung Wibowo from Indonesia was happy to share his experience. Get inspired and register to join OctaFX Supercharged real contest!

The contest gave me a unique opportunity to implement the new trading system that I’ve been learning for the last 6 months, so thank you, OctaFX, for this chance! My victory in the last Supercharged round was a surprise for me because I can’t say that I spend a lot of time trading. I’m not an intraday trader who MUST open the positions every hour and sit in front of the computer without a chance to go and have some rest. My trading is very flexible and I only use MT4 on Android.

I have two keys to success: techniques and experience. I’m not a pro or a full-time trader, but the new technique that I’ve been learning for the last 6 months (which I call MPRC4X) and the experience that I got trading with a demo account helped me a lot. These made me confident with every position that I was opening.

As for my greatest advantage... Hmmm... I think the success rate of this technique is a huge advantage. As for the losses... Not all positions can be profitable, but what is more important is how to minimize the loss. I haven’t experienced any significant losses that had a great impact in this round though. So a good trader is the one who knows how to control the losses and also the one who can share with other traders to spread the word.

My advice to the fellow participants of OctaFX Supercharged real contest is to do your best. Always.

Here is your very own chance to win Tesla Model S: register in the contest! There are just a few rounds left till the final one, so hurry up and be ready to win!
