To open long positions on EURUSD, you need:

The expected weak eurozone manufacturing sector, which continued to decline in November this year, put pressure on the euro in the first half of the day and did not allow buyers to regain the resistance of 1.1153, near which the main trade is now conducted. An important task of the bulls will be a breakthrough and consolidation above this level, which will lead to an upward correction in the area of the maximum of 1.1198, from where the euro sell-off began on Friday, where I recommend fixing the profits on long positions. Despite the weak report, the bears also failed to reach the support of 1.1111, when forming a false breakout on which I recommend opening long positions in the second half of the day. In the scenario of a breakthrough of 1.1111, after a good report on the US manufacturing sector, it is best to expect to buy from a minimum of 1.1073 or buy immediately on a rebound from 1.1041.

To open short positions on EURUSD, you need:

The sellers did everything to return the pair to the support of 1.1111, however, they failed to reach this level again in the first half of the day. Only a strong report on activity in the US manufacturing sector can return EUR/USD to this range, and its breakthrough will open a direct road to the area of the minimum of 1.1073. The more distant goal of the sellers will be the area of 1.1041, where I recommend taking the profit. In the scenario of EUR/USD growth in the second half of the day above 1.1153, where I also recommend looking at short positions when forming a false breakout, it is best to expect sales from this month's maximum in the area of 1.1198 or sell even higher from 1.1226.
