After Friday's growth, the euro/dollar pair began a downward correction. On Friday, American macroeconomic statistics were disappointed again and traders had no options other than further purchases of the euro and sales of the dollar. We once again draw the attention of traders to the fact that the current strengthening of the euro is caused solely by the failure of macroeconomic statistics from overseas in recent weeks. However, the problems of the European Union are not solved. The European Union cannot boast of stable economic growth and inflation, corresponding to the target values of the ECB. If the problems in the US began just a few weeks ago, although talks about the recession have been going on for a long time, the European Union still remains at zero rates and moreover, the last speech of Mario Draghi showed frankly dovish-like attitude of the ECB head, which traders successfully ignored. That is why we believe that the position of the euro remains weaker than that of the US dollar. In order for the euro to form a long-term upward trend, it is necessary that the US economy begins to experience serious problems in the long-term temporary section. This may contribute to the policy of protectionism of Donald Trump, who recently said he was ready to remain President of the United States for a second term. However, there are big doubts that Trump will win the next election. So far, the euro will be inclined to a correction to the moving, but the technique retains an upward trend. Bears on the euro/dollar pair remain in the shade.

Trading recommendations:

The EUR/USD currency pair started a new round of correction against the upward trend. Now, long positions on the euro remain relevant with the targets at 1.1353 and 1.1383, which is recommended to be opened after the current correction.

It is recommended to sell the euro currency after the bears return the initiative to their hands and the euro/dollar pair will be fixed under the moving average line with the first targets at 1.1230 and 1.1200.

In addition to the technical picture should also take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
