EUR / USD plan for the European session on February 18. Weak US statistics hit the dollar

To open long positions on EUR / USD pair, you need:

Euro rose expectedly after another weak report on the US economy on Friday. At the moment, buyers can retain an upward correction but on condition that they manage to break through and gain a foothold above resistance 1.1323, which will lead to larger growth in the levels of 1.1359 and 1.1394, where I recommend fixing profits. In the case of EUR/USD decline in the first half of the day against the background of the absence of important statistics, you can consider long positions at a false breakdown from the middle of the 1.1282 channel or buy a rebound from the lower border of 1.1235, which will return the pair to the downward trend.

To open short positions on EUR / USD pair, you need:

Bear is required to form a false breakdown in the area of resistance at 1.1323, which will lead to a downward correction to the support area of 1.1282, where I recommend taking profits since the bulls will try to resume their purchases from this level. In the absence of demand in the area of 1.1282, a breakthrough at this range will open a direct path to the minimum around 1.1235. In a scenario of further upward correction, long positions can return today after the testing the maximum of 1.1359 or rebound from 1.1394.
