21.05.201916:56 Forex Analysis & Reviews: EUR/USD: plan for the American session on May 21. A good indicator of consumer confidence stopped the fall of the euro

To open long positions on EURUSD, you need:

Euro buyers revived after a good report on consumer confidence, which improved slightly. To return to the market, bullish sentiment requires a breakdown and consolidation above the resistance of 1.1159, which will allow us to count on updating the maximum of 1.1180, where I recommend fixing the profits. In the event of a further decline in the euro, support will be provided by the new level of 1.1138, where it is best to open long positions when forming a false breakdown. I recommend buying for a rebound only after the test of a minimum of 1.1112.

To open short positions on EURUSD, you need:

Bears need to form a false breakdown in the resistance area of 1.1159, which will maintain the downward potential and lead to a further reduction of EUR/USD to the support area of 1.1138, where today I recommend fixing the profits. The main target will be the low of 1.1112. If the growth scenario is higher than 1.1159 in the second half of the day, short positions can be considered to rebound from a maximum of 1.1180.
