EUR/USD: plan for the American session on May 21 (analysis of morning deals). Good PMI indices supported the euro.

To open long positions on EURUSD, you need:

The data released in the first half of the day on activity in the service and manufacturing sectors of the Eurozone provided support to the euro, as a result of which the bulls managed to regain the resistance of 1.0979, which I drew attention to in my morning forecast. The 5-minute chart shows how sellers tried to return to the market after testing this area at the beginning of the European session, but this did not lead to a major downward movement. At the moment, it is necessary to monitor the behavior of bulls above the range of 1.0979, since a second correction to this level from the top down will be a signal to open long positions in the expectation of continuing the upward trend to the maximum area of 1.1013, where I recommend fixing the profits. The longer-term goal for the end of the week will be the resistance of 1.093. If the bulls fail to hold the pair above the support of 1.0979 in the second half of the day, as good reports on the US labor market and PMI indices can return demand for the US dollar, then in this scenario, it is best to return to long positions immediately to rebound from the minimum of 1.0941 with the goal of an upward correction of 20-30 points at the end of the day.

To open short positions on EURUSD, you need:

Sellers again have problems and at the moment the most important task is to return EUR/USD under the morning level of 1.0979. Only in this scenario, the pressure on the euro will return, and the bulls will rush to fix the profit, which will lead to a downward movement to the area of the day's minimum and it is likely to update the support of 1.0941, where I recommend fixing the profit. If the demand for the euro persists after the release of the report on the US labor market, and good indicators can further strengthen the risk appetite of investors, then it is best to consider short positions after the resistance test of 1.1013 or sell immediately on a rebound from a large maximum in the area of 1.093. You should also keep in mind the report on the activity index for the non-manufacturing sector of the United States, good indicators of which can be interpreted as a signal to buy the European currency.
