To open long positions on EURUSD you need:
The ECB's revision regarding the timing of raising interest rates pulled down the euro. Now buyers are required to confirm divergence in the support area of 1.1170, and otherwise, it is best to rely on long positions from the lows of 1.1149 and 1.1122. The main task of the bulls will be to return and consolidate above the resistance of 1.1218, which will be extremely difficult to do. In this scenario, we can expect an upward correction in the area of resistance 1.1259 and 1.1286, where I recommend taking profits.
To open short positions on EURUSD you need:
It is best to open short positions after updating the resistance of 1.1218 or to rebound from a larger level 1.1259. The main task of the bears will be a breakthrough and consolidation in the first half of the day below the level of 1.1186, which will lead to a new wave of selling the euro in the area of a low of 1.1149 and 1.1122, where I recommend taking profits. The release of a report on the unemployment rate in the United States can confuse "all the cards," since the data is expected to turn out worse than the January ones, so I don't recommend that you rush to sell for a breakdown of support 1.1186.
