To open long positions on EUR / USD, you need:
The euro collapsed on Wednesday evening after the Fed chairman announced that it was still far from the level of neutral interest rates, hinting at their further increase. Currently, customers can only rely on the formation of a false breakdown with a divergence on the MACD indicator from the level of 1.1450, which will lead to a larger upward correction in the area of 1.151 and 1.1541, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the event of a further decline in the euro under the level of 1.1450, it is best to return to purchases after updating the lows in the area of 1.1399 or to rebound from 1.1351.
To open short positions on EUR / USD, you need:
An unsuccessful consolidation and return under the resistance level of 1.1501 will be another signal to open short positions in the euro with the aim of retesting and breaking the minimum of 1.1450, which will resume the downtrend and lead to a test of new support levels of 1.1399 and 1.1351, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the case of growth above the resistance level of 1.1501, you can sell the euro immediately to rebound from a maximum of 1.1541.
