To open long positions on EUR / USD, you need:
The euro rose strongly yesterday after the Fed chairman signaled that he could stop raising rates earlier than expected or slow down the pace of their increase. The formation of a false breakdown in the area of intermediate support of 1.1374 will be a signal to buy the euro to break through and fix above the resistance of 1.1417, which will lead to a continuation of the uptrend in the maximum area of 1.1468, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the case of a decline below the level of 1.1374, you can take a closer look at long positions around 1.1341 or at a rebound from a minimum of 1.1304.
To open short positions on EUR / USD, you need:
The downtrend is broken. Now, the bears need to return to the support level of 1.1374, which will lead to a downward correction in the area of 1.1341, where I recommend fixing the profits. It will be possible to talk about the return to the market of large sellers only after the test of a minimum of 1.1304. If the uptrend continues, short positions can be considered when forming a false breakdown in the area of 1.1417 or on a rebound from a new maximum of 1.1468.
