Trading recommendations for November 25

Quite a number of economic reports are scheduled to come out from the United States today. For example, the latest figure of jobless claims and the growth rate of the US GDP for the 3rd quarter. If the number of jobless claims continues to decline in November this year, the position of the dollar will strengthen, which is a very strong signal to buy the currency. Growth in incomes and expenses of the Americans may also return the demand for the dollar, which will lead to a downward correction of the EUR / USD pair. But if the data coincides with the forecasts, the focus of traders will be shifted to the statements from the Federal Reserve, which, although unlikely to have a serious impact on the market, since the committee is not going to change its monetary policy in the near future, will maintain the bullish momentum in the EUR / USD pair.

• Open a long position when the euro reaches a quote of 1.1920 (green line on the chart) and then take profit at the level of 1.1970. However, growth will occur only in the event of good data on the eurozone economy.
• Open a short position when the euro reaches a quote of 1.1894 (red line on the chart) and then take profit around the level of 1.1843. However, do this only if the data on US GDP turns out to be much better than the forecasts, and if the statements by the Federal Reserve contain hints that monetary policy will remain unchanged for a long time.
