In my morning review, I paid attention to the probability of a breakout of the resistance of 1.0834, which led to a sharp increase in the euro in the first half of the day. The formation of a breakout of this range is clearly visible on the 5-minute chart. Growth was also helped by February data on the economy in Germany, where there was an increase in industrial production and Italy, where there was a surge in retail sales. At the moment, the next target of the bulls is the resistance of 1.0897, fixing on which will lead to further strengthening of EUR/USD to the maximum area of 1.0961, where I recommend fixing the profits. If in the second half of the day, after the meeting of the Eurogroup, there will be a downward correction in the euro, then it is best to return to long positions only when forming a false breakout from the support level of 1.0834 or buy EUR/USD immediately on the rebound from the minimum of 1.0772, a return to which will cancel out all the upward correction that was formed at the beginning of this week.

To open short positions on EURUSD, you need:

Bears are still standing on the sidelines, as there was no serious resistance in the area of 1.0834. The nearest resistance is the level 1.0897, but I recommend opening short positions from it in the second half of the day only after the formation of a false breakout. Given that the Eurogroup's decision can have a positive effect on the euro, it is best to postpone sales immediately for a rebound until the maximum of 1.0961 is updated, counting on a correction of 30-40 points within the day. An equally important task for bears will be to return and consolidate the pair below the support of 1.0834, which will lead to a larger decline and a test of the minimum of 1.0772, where I recommend fixing the profits.
