To open long positions on EUR / USD, you need:
Weak data on inflation in the euro area, which remained unchanged last month, did not allow euro buyers to get out of the resistance level of 1.1569, which led to a decline and support test of 1.1534. If the bulls manage to form a false test there and return to this level in the second half of the day, we can expect a repeat test of the resistance level of 1.1569. If there is no rapid growth from this range, I recommend to postpone long positions in EUR / USD until the update of the minimum of 1.1490, which can be achieved on the Fed's protocols.
To open short positions on EUR / USD, you need:
The sellers managed to form a false breakdown at the level of 1.1569 and did not let the pair go higher, which led to a decline in the euro in the first half of the day. During the first test of support for 1.1534, a slight upward correction can be observed, but a repeated test during the day will lead to a breakdown of this area, which will be a signal for the continuation of EUR / USD decline with a minimum of 1.1490 and 1.1434, where I recommend fixing the profits.
