The bullish sentiment prevailed on EUR/USD yesterday. Weak statistics on the real estate market in the US put pressure on the US currency. The euro added more than 50 points. At the moment, the key trading range is 1.12250-1.12600. We expect economic reports from the EU and the US.

- Support levels: 1.12250, 1.11750
- Resistance levels: 1.12600
Today, it is better to open positions from key levels. We recommend paying attention to economic reports from the EU and the USA.
If the price consolidates above the level of 1.12600, the bullish sentiment may prevail on the EUR/USD currency pair. The immediate goal for profit taking is the round level of 1.13000.
Alternative option. If the price fixes below the local support 1.12250, we recommend you to look for entry points to the market in order to open short positions. The movement is tending potentially to 1.11750.
