To open long positions on EURUSD, you need:

In the first half of the day, I paid attention to the level of 1.1815 and recommended opening long positions from it in the scenario of consolidation above this range. If you look at the 5-minute chart, you will see that although the bulls are fixed above this range, we did not wait for a control test of this level from top to bottom to form a good entry point into long positions. As a result, whoever missed this signal did everything correctly. At the moment, the main task of the bulls for the second half of the day will be to protect the support of 1.1815, and only under this condition and the formation of a false breakout, you can open long positions in the hope of continuing the growth of EUR/USD to the maximum of 1.1884, where I recommend fixing the profits. However, on an empty economic calendar, such growth is unlikely to occur. If the trade moves below the level of 1.1815, it is best to postpone opening long positions until the minimum of 1.1765 is updated in the expectation of a correction of 20-30 points within the day.

To open short positions on EURUSD, you need:

The sellers' task now is to return the trade to the level of 1.1815 by the end of the day, which they missed in the first half of the day. Only then will it be possible to open short positions in the continuation of the downward trend with the expectation of a test of the minimum of 1.1765, where I recommend fixing the profits. If the demand for the euro will continue in the second half of the day, amid lack of important fundamental statistics, it is best to postpone short positions immediately to a rebound from the resistance of 1.1884, counting on a correction of 20-30 points within the day.
