Intraday Strategies for Beginner Traders on April 22

After a sharp rise during the Asian session, the euro and the pound grew through the European trading hours. However, by the mid-U.S. session, demand for risk assets declined, leading to a slight correction and strengthening of the U.S. dollar.

Yesterday's comments from Federal Reserve officials offered modest support to the dollar but didn't significantly impact the EUR/USD technical picture or shift the balance of power. The euro still has a chance to continue its upward movement, as does the British pound, but this requires strong economic data—which is again absent today. The market still sees weakness in the U.S. economy due to trade tariffs and expects the Fed to be forced to ease policy earlier than anticipated. In addition to this, there is ongoing pressure from Donald Trump on Powell, and the central bank may soon shift its tone, which would not benefit the dollar.

Financial markets are expected to be relatively calm today. Aside from the Eurozone consumer confidence index release and a scheduled meeting of International Monetary Fund (IMF) representatives, no significant macroeconomic events are forecast. This will significantly limit volatility and the potential for significant market movements.

Yesterday's new yearly high in EUR/USD established a base for optimistic sentiment, but the lack of catalysts for further growth makes a breakout of this level unlikely under current conditions.

If the data aligns with economists' expectations, following a Mean Reversion strategy is best. A Momentum strategy will be more appropriate if the data significantly exceeds or falls short of expectations.
