Basics
What is EUR/USD?
EUR/USD is the most liquid FX pair. It responds to interest rate differentials, growth expectations, and broad USD flows.
Best time to trade
London open frequently sets direction. NY overlap can confirm continuation or reverse on US data surprises.
Practical execution rule
If volatility is low and regime is RANGE, focus on edges. If volatility expands and regime flips to TREND, prioritize pullbacks instead of chasing extensions.
