To open long positions on EURUSD you need:

The pressure on the euro persists amid weak eurozone reports. It is best to return to buying EUR/USD after consolidating above the resistance of 1.1181, which will lead to an upward correction to the level of 1.1205, where I recommend taking profits. In case the euro further declines after a weak report on inflation in the eurozone, it is best to consider long positions only from the support level of 1.1155, provided there is a false breakdown there, or to rebound from a support of 1.1138.

To open short positions on EURUSD you need:

The formation of a false breakdown in the resistance area of 1.1181 will be the first signal to open short positions in EUR/USD, which will keep the pair in a downward price channel and return sellers looking to test a new week low in the area of 1.1155 and 1.1138, where I recommend taking profits. If the euro rises in the first half of the day after a good report on inflation in the eurozone, it's best to open short positions to rebound from a high of 1.1205 and 1.1237.
