To open long positions on EURUSD, you need:
The speech of the head of the Fed led to a sharp drop in the US dollar, and now the buyers of the euro are aimed at the resistance of 1.1159, above which it was not possible to get out at the Asian session today. Good reports from the IFO for Germany can lead to a breakdown and consolidation above this level, which will open the possibility of updating the new highs in the area of 1.1189 and 1.1226, where I recommend taking the profits. If there is a downward correction in the euro, the emphasis should be shifted to the support level of 1.1119 and the formation of a false breakdown there. And if you break through this range, you can safely buy EUR/USD to rebound from a minimum of 1.1088.
To open short positions on EURUSD, you need:
Today, the G7 summit begins, so the pressure on the US dollar can be maintained further. Sellers need to prove their strength by forming a false breakdown in the resistance area of 1.1159, which will lead to a downward correction in the support area of 1.119, where I recommend taking the profits. However, the main goal of the bears will be a breakthrough of this range, which can seriously affect the plans of buyers of the euro and lead to an update of a minimum of 1.1088. If the demand for EUR/USD continues in the first half of the day after good reports from the IFO, it is best to look for short positions after updating the maximum of 1.1189, or a rebound from a larger resistance of 1.1226.
