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

The ECB left rates unchanged, which did not lead to significant changes in the market compared with the morning forecast, which is relevant for the second half of the day. It is best to return to purchases when a false breakdown is formed in the support area of 1.1382 or to rebound from a minimum of 1.1351. The main task of the buyers will be to consolidate above the resistance of 1.1429, where the 50-day average is located, which will lead to a larger correctional growth in the maximum area of 1.1474, where I recommend fixing the profits.

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

Sellers need to form a false breakdown at the resistance level of 1.1429, which will be a signal to open short positions in the euro in order to update yesterday's lows in the support area of 1.1382. The breakthrough of this range will increase the pressure on the euro, which will lead to a test of the levels of 1.1351 and 1.1299, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the case of growth above the resistance level of 1.1429 in the first half of the day, short positions can be returned to the rebound from the level of 1.1474.
