To open long positions for EURUSD, it is required:
According to the results of the midterm elections, representatives of the Republican party will retain a majority in the US Senate. Despite the expected decline in the euro, which occurred after the announcement of the results, buyers quickly returned to the market. At the moment, the main task is to break the resistance of 1.1473, which will lead to the continuation of the upward trend, with the update of new highs in the area of 1.1516 and 1.1548, where I recommend taking profit. Purchases can also be seen on a false breakout from the support level of 1.1430, in case the euro declines in the morning, or a rebound from the low of 1.1394, where the major players are concentrated.
To open short positions for EURUSD, it is required:
Sellers need to form a false breakout at the resistance level of 1.1473, and then return and consolidate below the important support level of 1.1430, which limits the downward correction. A break of 1.1430 will lead to a decrease in the EUR/USD in the area of the lower boundary of the upward channel, which almost coincides with the low of 1.1394, where I recommend taking profits on short positions. If the euro rises above the resistance of 1.1473 in the first half of the day, sales can be returned to the rebound from 1.1516 and 1.1548.
