EUR/USD: plan for the American session on July 14

To open long positions on EURUSD, you need:

In the first half of the day, I paid attention to a number of fundamental data that could affect the direction of the European currency. But even despite the poor performance, the euro managed to find the strength and get close to the weekly resistance of 1.1373, which indicates the desire of investors to follow a new upward trend. The future direction of the market will depend on how buyers behave at this level after the US inflation report. So far, only the first test of the level of 1.1373 occurred on the 5-minute chart, where growth stopped. To open long positions, you need to break through and consolidate above this resistance, which will open a direct path for euro buyers to the highs of 1.1401, and the longer-term goal will be the area of 1.1430, where I recommend fixing the profits. If the pressure on the euro returns in the second half of the day after the US data, then do not rush to buy. The best option will be long positions immediately on the rebound after the support test of 1.1307, based on a correction of 25-30 points within the day.

To open short positions on EURUSD, you need:

Sellers tried to resume pressure on the euro after the release of quite bad reports on industrial production in the Eurozone, which turned out to be worse than the forecasts of economists. German inflation data coincided with the expectations of economists, which also did not impress traders. In the second half of the day, you need to focus on the formation of a false breakout in the resistance area of 1.1373, the test of which has already occurred today in the first half of the day. The nearest target of the bears remains the support of 1.1307. However, it will be possible to talk about the bears taking control only after fixing below this level, which will be an additional signal to open short positions based on the test of the minimum of 1.1257, where I recommend fixing the profits. If there is no activity from the bears in the resistance area of 1.1373 and good data on the growth of inflation in the US, it is best to wait for the update of new larger highs of 1.1401 and 1.1430 and sell EUR/USD from there in the expectation of a rebound of 25-30 points within the day.
