13.07.202006:28 Forex Analysis & Reviews: EUR/USD: plan for the European session on July 13 (analysis of yesterday's trade). Bulls fight back euro sellers and try to return to weekly highs. Aim for 1.1347

To open long positions on EUR/USD, you need:

The euro strengthened after buyers gave an active rebuff at 1.1267 last Friday, forming the first signal to buy the euro. If you look at the 5-minute chart, you will see how the bulls were active and just above the resistance of 1.1311, but it was not possible to form a larger wave of growth at the end of the week. At the moment, hourly chart levels have slightly changed. Buyers are aiming for a breakout and consolidation above the resistance of 1.1347, which will lead to a larger upward trend to the high of 1.1395 and 1.1430, where I recommend taking profits. However, you should remember that important fundamental data will not be released today, so it is likely that market volatility will be at a low level. In the event of a downward correction of the pair in the first half of the day, forming a false breakout in the support area of 1.1295 will be a signal to open long positions. Buy EUR/USD immediately on the rebound, I advise doing so from a low of 1.1257, counting on a correction of 30-40 points within the day.

To open short positions on EUR/USD, you need:

The bears failed to push the market below the level of 1.1267, which has now transformed into support for 1.1257. Good news from the president of the Eurogroup regarding support for the European Commission's 750 billion euro bailout plan had a positive impact on buyers last Friday. At the moment, sellers must return to the 1.1295 range, but it is best to open short positions from it only after consolidating below this area. Such a scenario will return EUR/USD to the area of a low of 1.1257 and allow you to count on updating the support of 1.1222, where I recommend taking profits. If the bulls continue to be active, then it is best to look at short positions only after forming a false breakout at the level of 1.1347, but you can sell EUR/USD immediately on the rebound from a larger high of 1.1395, counting on a correction of 25-30 points within the day.
