To open long positions on EURUSD you need:
Yesterday's minutes of the July meeting of the Federal Reserve did not change the balance of power between buyers and sellers, since they did not differ from the statements made immediately after the decision to lower the interest rate in the United States. From a technical point of view, nothing has changed. Buyers failed to cope with resistance of 1.1105 yesterday. A breakthrough of this level will increase demand for the euro and lead to the renewal of a larger high of 1.1130, where I recommend taking profits. However, the main target of the bulls is the 1.1159 area, which will allow us to build a new upward trend in the euro. In case EUR/USD falls in the morning, after a series of weak reports on activity in the manufacturing sector of the eurozone, it is best to return to long positions on a breakdown from a low of 1.1068, or a rebound from a new support of 1.1028.
To open short positions on EURUSD you need:
Today, all emphasis will be shifted to data on activity in the manufacturing sector of the eurozone countries, which in recent months is experiencing very serious problems. Weak data will allow the bears to build a false breakdown in the resistance area of 1.1105, which will lead to an update of last week's low of 1.1068, as well as to its probable breakdown. A further target for sellers will be support levels 1.1028 and 1.0990, where I recommend taking profits. If production activity shows the first signs of recovery, demand for the euro may return. In the EUR/USD growth scenario above the resistance of 1.1105, it is best to open short positions by rebounding from highs of 1.1130 and 1.1159.
