The United States will present its business activity data today as well. Experts project an increase in figures. Even if the results come lower, the euro is likely to rise. Anyway, long positions could be opened in case of a downward correction and the formation of a false breakout at 1.1230. If so, a strong entry point will be produced and the target will be seen at the resistance level of 1.1273. The moving averages located there are limiting the pair's upside potential. Another important task for bulls will be to break through this range. A test of the level of 1.1273 top/bottom is likely to generate an excellent entry point. In such a case, the target will be seen at 1.1317 and 1.1259 where traders should consider locking in profits. Alternatively, if the price falls to 1.1230 and US macroeconomic data comes better than forecast, traders should not rush to open long positions. It could become possible to go short after a false breakout at 1.1193. Long positions could be opened after a bounce from the low of 1.1155 or 1.1106, allowing a 15-20 pips intraday correction.
As long as the pair is traded below 1.1273, the signal to sell the euro produced in the morning will remain relevant. The formation of a false breakout at 1.1273 in the second half of the day will become an excellent sell entry point. If so, bears' task will be to break and consolidate below 1.1230. In case business activity data in the US comes out better than forecast, pressure on EUR/USD will increase, while a breakout and a test of the level of 1.1230 bottom/top could produce a new sell signal with the targets at the low of 1.1193 and 1.1155 where traders should consider locking in profits. In case of a lack of bearish activity at 1.1273 in the second half of the day, short positions could be opened until the price reaches the high of 1.1317. The formation of a false breakout there will become a good entry point to sell the euro. Traders could open short positions on a rebound to the high of 1.1359, allowing a downward correction of 15-20 pips.
The COT report (Commitment of Traders) as of November 16 logged an increase in both short and long positions. At the same time, the number of short positions exceeded that of long ones, which led to a negative delta. Although it continues to hover around the zero level, it does not help the euro buyers in any way. The risk of another surge in coronavirus cases and the possibility of a lockdown in the EU have increased pressure on the euro that has not yet recovered from the ECB's dovish stance on monetary policy even despite growing inflation. Meanwhile, Austria has brought back quarantine restrictions and Germany is contemplating taking the same measure. At the same time, high inflationary pressure in the US continues to boost the greenback. Many investors expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates earlier next year. The November COT report showed an increase in long non-commercial positions to 198,181 from 192,544 and a rise in short non-commercial positions to 202,007 versus 188,771. By the end of the week, the total non-commercial net position plunged to -3,826 from 3,773. The weekly closing price dropped to the level of 1.1367 versus 1.1587.
