To open long positions on EURUSD, you need:

From a technical point of view, nothing has changed. Buyers returned to the market after yesterday's support update of 1.1068, and all are also focused on the large resistance of 1.1095-1.1105, a breakthrough of which will strengthen the demand for the euro and lead to an update of a larger maximum of 1.121, where I recommend taking profit. However, the main goal of the bulls is the area of 1.1153, which will allow to build a new upward trend in the euro. In the scenario of EUR/USD decline in the morning, in the absence of important fundamental statistics, it is best to return to long positions to rebound from a minimum of 1.1068, or slightly lower, from the area of 1.1028.

To open short positions on EURUSD, you need:

Today, the whole focus will be shifted to the minutes of the Fed from the July meeting, so it is unlikely to expect a major growth of the euro in the morning. This scenario will allow the bears to build a false breakdown in the resistance area of 1.1105, which will lead to an update of last week's low, as well as to its probable breakdown, which yesterday was not possible. A further target for sellers will be the support levels of 1.1028 and 1.0990, where I recommend fixing the profit. The absence of important news in the morning may also allow EUR/USD to get above the resistance of 1.1105. In this scenario, it is best to open short positions by rebounding from the highs of 1.1130 and 1.1159.
