While Donald Trump is thinking about how to ruin the life of China, the European Commission has published its plan for economic recovery, under which an additional 750 billion euros will be allocated. This news pleased buyers of the European currency, who tried their best in the first half of the day to keep the pair above the support of 1.0952, which I drew attention to in my review. If you look at the 5-minute chart, you can see how the bulls allowed to take down stop orders below the level of 1.0952, and then actively returned to the market, which allowed them to break above the resistance of 1.0994 without problems, and gain a foothold on it. At the moment, while trading will be conducted above this level, the demand for the euro will remain, which may lead to an update of the maximum of 1.1048, where I recommend fixing the profits. If the bears manage to push the pair below the level of 1.0994 in the second half of the day, the pressure on EUR/USD may increase. In this scenario, it is best to count on long positions only after testing the minimum of 1.0952 or buy immediately for a rebound from the support of 1.0917 with the goal of an upward correction of 20-30 points.

Sellers tried to implement their plans, and after repeated attempts to break below the support of 1.0952, which is clearly visible on the 5-minute chart, they even seemed to achieve their goal, but the report from the European Commission confused all the cards. Given that traders only needed good news to continue the bull market, the bears did not resist much at 1.0994, the breakout of which led to new weekly highs. At the moment, the task of the bears is to return and consolidate below the support of 1.0994, which will reduce the ardor of buyers and lead to the return of EUR/USD to the area of the minimum 1.0952, where I recommend fixing the profits. If the demand for the euro continues in the second half of the day, and most likely it will be so, since important fundamental statistics are not published today, then it is best to consider short positions after forming a false breakout in the resistance area of 1.1048 or sell the euro immediately on a rebound from the maximum of 1.1093.
