To open long positions on EURUSD you need:
Last Friday, despite good data on industrial production in the eurozone, and the projected rise in producer prices in the US, euro buyers failed to reach new weekly highs. A breakthrough and consolidation above a resistance of 1.1279 is required in order to continue growth, which will push the euro higher in the area of 1.1311 and 1.1338, where I recommend taking profits. Under the scenario of pulling down EUR/USD, against the background of the absence of important fundamental statistics, long positions can be seen after a false breakdown in the support area of 1.1242, or a rebound from a larger low of 1.1214.
To open short positions on EURUSD you need:
Euro sellers need to form a false breakdown in the resistance area of 1.1279 to break an upward trend, which will be a direct signal for opening short positions. This will lead to a re-decline and test of support at 1.1242. However, only a breakthrough of the above range will provide the necessary pressure on EUR/USD and a return to the lows of 1.1214 and 1.1182, where I recommend taking profits. With the growth scenario above 1.1279, according to the trend, you can sell the euro to rebound from highs of 1.1311 and 1.1338.
