EUR/USD trading plan for October 30, 2023

The euro/dollar pair is currently pulling back from the resistance level. In the case of a further increase in the volume of short positions, the euro might slide to the support level of 1.0500. However, if the dollar's current bullish run is short-lived and the quote consolidates above 1.0620, the market may move back to the upside.

If the quote fails to consolidate above 1.2150, the pound sterling will lose value. A bear case scenario suggests a decline to the 1.2000/1.2150 area. However, if the quote stays firm above 1.2150, the British pound will most likely rise to the levels of 1.2200/1.2250.
