Buying EUR/USD Scenario
-
Tradable Negative Trigger: -0.74 deviation (97.48) [BUY Pair]
-
Key Resistance Level: 1.1650
If it comes out lower than expected at a relative deviation of -0.74 or less (97.48 or lower in actual terms), the EURUSD may go up reaching a range of 18 pips in the first 15 minutes and 63 pips in the following 4 hours.
1.1650 was the May 25th low and a confluence of potent technical levels. Further up, 1.1725 worked as support before the pair tumbled down on June 14th. The high point of 1.1850 was a swing high on June 14th and also capped the pair earlier in the month.
Selling EUR/USD Scenario
-
Tradable Positive Trigger: +0.67 deviation (99.99) [SELL Pair]
Key Support Level: 1.1510
This time, if it comes out at higher than expected with a relative deviation of 0.67 or higher (99.99 or higher in actual terms), the pair may go down reaching a range of 20 pips in the first 15 minutes and 66 pips in the following 4 hours.
Some support awaits at the morning lows of 1.1545 but stronger support awaits at 1.1510 which is the 2018 low and the lowest point since July 2017. Further down, 1.1480 is notable for serving as an important line back then.
