To open long positions on EURUSD, you need:

The buyers tried to continue the growth of the European currency in the first half of the day, however, weak reports on inflation and the reduction of volume of retail sales has led to a sharp drop in the euro against the dollar. At the moment, it is best to return to long positions after updating the new support level in the area of 1.1241, provided that there is a false breakdown or a rebound from a larger area of 1.1200. The main task of the bulls by the end of the day will be to update the resistance of 1.1286, which will retain the upward potential in the pair and lead to the update of the highs in the area of 1.1333.

To open short positions on EURUSD, you need:

Sellers returned to the market after weak reports, and at the moment, their goal is the support of 1.1241, which will be the first profit taking on short positions. The main task for the second half of the day will be the breakdown of this level, which will allow collapsing EUR/USD in the area of the minimum of 1.1200, where I recommend fixing the profit.
