To open long positions on EUR / USD pair, you need:

Trade remained in a narrow side channel, after the report on inflation in Germany, which coincided with the forecasts of economists. Moreover, t is rather difficult to determine the future direction of the euro. You can take a closer look at the euro when forming a false breakout at the level of 1.1375 with confirmation of divergence on the MACD indicator or open long positions to rebound from support 1.1343. The main task of buyers is to return to the resistance level of 1.1430, which will lead to a larger upward correction to a maximum of 1.1481, where I recommend taking profits. The Weak US data may help bulls with correction.

To open short positions on EUR / USD pair, you need:

Sellers have shown themselves, not allowing the pair to get above the resistance of 1.1430, to which I paid attention in my morning review. In this scenario, the pressure on the euro will remain but the main task will be a breakthrough of support for 1.1375, which will lead to a larger sale of EUR/USD with access to 1.1343 and 1.1312 lows, where I recommend taking profits. If after testing the minimum of 1.1375 and rapid downward movement is not formed, I recommend closing short positions, since a large upward correction in euro can be formed from this level.
