EUR / USD: Plan for the American session on January 21. Major players did not support the euro because of the next weak statistics

To open long positions on EUR / USD pair, you need:

Euro buyers failed to return to the resistance level of 1.1388 after the release of weak fundamental statistics on producer prices in Germany, which have fallen sharply. The main task for the second half of the day remains to be the breakdown and consolidation above the resistance level of 1.1388, which will lead to a larger upward correction to the area of maximum 1.1423, where I recommend taking profits. In the event of a further decline with the trend in the euro, it is best to look at long positions with a test of support for 1.1348 or a rebound from this year's low around 1.1312.

To open short positions on EUR / USD pair, you need:

Sellers showed up after the formation of a false breakdown at the resistance level of 1.1388, to which I paid attention in my morning forecast. Currently, the next task is to break through the support of 1.1348, which will lead to a larger sale of EUR/USD pair with a yield of at least 1.1312, where I recommend taking profits. When the return scenario is above the resistance of 1.1388 against the background of low trading volume due to the holiday in the US, I recommend to consider short positions in euro to rebound from the upper border of the side channel last week in the area of 1.1423.
