Yesterday, the US dollar recovered some of the losses relative to major world currencies. Support was provided by a positive report on business activity in the manufacturing sector of the country.

The MACD histogram is located in the negative zone, but above the signal line, which gives a weak signal to sell EUR/USD.
Stochastic Oscillator is in the neutral zone, the %K line is above the %D line, which indicates the growth of the EUR/USD quotes.
- Support levels: 1.13550, 1.13000
- Resistance levels: 1.14000, 1.14400
Positions must be opened from key levels.
If the price consolidates below the local support 1.13550, the correction on EUR/USD may continue. The movement is tending potentially to the round level 1.13000.
Alternative option. If the EUR/USD quotes overcome the 1.14000 mark, we recommend looking for entry points to the market in order to open long positions. The target movement level is 1.14400.
