FX.co ★ EUR/USD: plan for the American session on September 10

To open long positions on EURUSD, you need:

The complete absence of changes in the monetary policy of the European Central Bank, which was feared by euro buyers, led to the formation of a new bull market and now only one thing is required – to consolidate above the maximum of 1.1863. A test of this level from top to bottom forms a good entry point for the continued growth of the European currency. This is marked on the 5-minute chart. The nearest target for buyers of the euro is the resistance of 1.1905, the breakout of which will provide a direct road to the area of the maximum of 1.1949, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the scenario of the pair's decline, and the absence of active purchases in the support area of 1.1863, you can safely open long positions for a rebound from the area of 1.1825, where the moving averages are gradually being pulled up. However, I would not expect a movement of more than 20-30 points from this level.

To open short positions on EURUSD, you need:

After today's meeting of the European Central Bank, sellers will think 10 more times about whether it makes sense to return to short positions at current levels. Most likely, the first attempts to probe the market will be in the resistance area of 1.1905, where the first test of this area may lead to a downward correction of EUR/USD by 15-20 points. If there is no active downward movement from this area, it is best to postpone short positions until the high of 1.1949 is updated and sell the euro from there in the expectation of correction of 30-40 points within the day. An equally important task for the bears will be to close the day below the level of 1.1863, which they missed during the press conference of the President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde. Fixing below 1.1863 may lead to an instant sell-off of the euro to the support area of 1.1825, where I recommend fixing the profits.
