EUR/USD: trading plan for the US session on November 22nd (analysis of morning deals). Euro keeps chances of falling

In my morning forecast, I drew attention to the level of 1.0890 and recommended making decisions based on it for market entry. Let's look at the 5-minute chart and analyze what happened there. The decline and the formation of a false breakout around 1.0890 led to a buy signal, resulting in an upward movement of more than 20 points. Still, trading remained within the morning sideways channel. For this reason, the technical picture was not reconsidered for the second half of the day.

To open long positions on EUR/USD, it is required:

Considering that during the American session, only data on the weekly number of initial jobless claims, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index, and inflation expectations are released, it is unlikely that euro buyers will be able to fully utilize all the statistics and continue the upward correction of the pair. For this reason, I prefer to act within the sideways channel. The optimal option for buying remains the formation of a false breakout at the level of 1.0890, similar to what I analyzed above. This will provide another good entry point for long positions, counting on further pair growth and testing the resistance at 1.0925, formed as of yesterday. Breaking and updating this range from top to bottom, along with a good report on the eurozone, will give another buy signal and a chance to update the monthly maximum around 1.0962. The ultimate target will be the area of 1.1004, where I will take profit. In the case of a decline in EUR/USD and no activity at 1.0890 in the second half of the day, the problems for euro buyers will increase. You can always enter the market after forming a false breakout around the next support at 1.0860. I will open long positions immediately on the rebound from 1.0827 with the aim of an upward correction of 30-35 points within the day.

To open short positions on EUR/USD, it is required:

Sellers have shown themselves, but they still need to consolidate below 1.0890. After the US data is released, there may be an upward movement to the resistance area of 1.0925, just above which the moving averages are located, playing on the sellers' side. If sellers have remained, then it will be necessary to defend this level with all their might. The formation of a false breakout there will give a sell signal, counting on another downward correction and testing the support at 1.0890, where buyers may not be as active as in the first half of the day. After breaking and consolidating below this range and a bottom-up retest, I expect to get another sell signal with a target of 1.0860. The ultimate target will be a minimum of 1.0827, where I will take profit. With an upward movement of EUR/USD during the American session and the absence of bears at 1.0930, trading will remain within the sideways channel. However, this will open the way for buyers to the monthly maximum of 1.0962. It is possible to sell there, but only after an unsuccessful consolidation. I will open short positions immediately on the rebound from 1.1004 with the aim of a downward correction of 30-35 points.
