The trade conflict between the US and China is still in the focus of attention.

The EUR/USD currency pair is being traded in a flat. A unidirectional trend is not observed. The key support and resistance levels are 1.10550 and 1.10900, respectively. Indicators signal the power of buyers:
The EUR/USD quotes have the potential for further recovery. We recommend opening positions from key levels.
If the price fixes above the resistance level of 1.10900, we expect further growth of the single currency. The immediate goal for profit taking is the 1.11150 mark. The movement is tending to 1.11400-1.11750.
An alternative could be a decrease in the EUR/USD currency pair to 1.10400-1.10150.
Confirmations and market entry points should be looked for on lower timeframes. When tracking positions, we recommend using a trailing stop.
