The currency pair EUR / USD worked on the level of Murray "-1/8" on July 2 and could not gain a foothold below. Bears have recently weakened strength, but bulls lack the desire to form long-term purchases. The market is now uncertain, primarily associated with the actions of Trump, the consequences of which are now very difficult to imagine. Thus, the pair moves every day in different directions without a clear trend. On Tuesday, July 3, the EU will publish a report on retail sales for May and is expected to reduce this figure to 1.4% y / y. Thus, if the forecast comes true, then during the day the bears can again begin to exert pressure on the pair. No more important macroeconomic reports are planned for today, however, as is often the case in recent days, unexpected information may come from the White House. Thus, we continue to monitor all of Trump's performances and his messages on social networks.
Nearest support levels:

Trading recommendations:
The currency pair EUR / USD was fixed above the removals. Thus, it is recommended to open long positions with the target level of Murray 1.1719. However, the upside potential is now limited, so we open the long lots with small lots.
Short positions will become relevant only below the level of 1.1597, which last time the price could not be overcome. Only, in this case, it will be possible to expect the resumption of the downward trend.
In addition to the technical picture, one should also take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
