To open long positions on EURUSD, you need to:

In my morning forecast, I recommended opening long positions after the breakout and consolidation above the resistance of 1.1890. Let's look at the 5-minute chart and talk about what happened. Weak data on the services sector of the Eurozone countries were completely ignored, as it was already clear that nothing good can be expected against the background of the coronavirus pandemic. The buyers who broke above 1.1890 were much more surprised, however, they have not yet managed to wait for a good signal to buy the euro. The reverse test of this level from top to bottom did not take place, so I did not enter into purchases.

In the second half of the day, the focus will shift to the level of 1.1890. Its top-down test forms a convenient entry point for long positions, after which you can count on the continuation of the upward trend to the area of 1.1929, where I recommend fixing the profits. The longer-term goal will be a maximum of 1.2008, which is the psychological level of this year. In the scenario of a lack of buyer activity in the area of 1.1890 and the pair falling below this level, I recommend that you abandon long positions before updating the minimum of 1.1844 and buy euros there immediately for a rebound. There is no really good news for the European currency, so it is very difficult to count on further growth.

To open short positions on EURUSD, you need to:

The initial goal of euro sellers is to regain control of the 1.1890 level, which they missed today as a result of the 4th test in a row. However, as we can see on the chart, there are no active purchases above 1.1890, so the bears may be able to regain the market. Fixing EUR/USD below 1.1890 in the second half of the day and testing this level from the bottom up forms a pretty good entry point for short positions, especially given the fundamental data released today on the European economy. The nearest target in this scenario will be at least 1.1844, where I recommend fixing the profit. However, it is worth remembering that as long as trading is above 1.1890, demand for the euro will continue. Therefore, with the further strengthening of the EUR/USD pair, it is best not to rush with sales, but wait for the update of the maximum of 1.1929 and sell the euro from there immediately on the rebound, counting on a downward correction of 15-20 points within the day.
