Analysis of transactions in the EUR / USD pair

The euro traded in a narrow sideways channel yesterday, so as a result, both long and short positions did not give the expected profit in the EUR / USD pair. This lack of definite direction once again suggests that traders do not know which side to take, especially since authorities do not have a clear reaction yet on the emerging new coronavirus pandemic wave in Europe.

Brexit negotiations shall continue today, and if the EU fails again to make concessions, the risk of a "Brexit without deal" will become as high as possible, which will lead to a collapse of the British pound. But if good news comes out, that is, finally reaching an agreement with regards to a trade deal, the pound will rise against the US dollar.

• Open a long position when the pound reaches a quote of 1.3049 (green line on the chart), and then take profit around the level of 1.3146 (thicker green line on the chart).
• Open a short position when the pound reaches a quote of 1.2998 (red line on the chart), and then take profit at least at the level of 1.2905.
