Trading plan for the US session on August 18 EUR / USD and GBP / USD

EUR / USD

To open long positions for EUR/USD, it is required:

The buyers have not managed to build a major upward movement, creating a new resistance level of 1.1751. The consolidation on it will lead to a second attempt at growth to the area of yesterday's high at 1.1785, where I recommend fixing profits. In case of a decline in the euro in the afternoon, I recommend that you go back to your purchases only after a false breakout is formed in the 1.1716 support area or immediately to a rebound from 1.1681.

To open short positions for EUR/USD, it is required:

Sellers will try to keep the pair below 1.1751, which will gradually lead to pressure on the euro and update the daily low in the area of 1.1716. Fixing below this level will allow forming a good signal to euro sales already with the purpose of updating 1.1681, where I recommend fixing profit. In the case of growth above 1.1751, I recommend going back to sales for a rebound from 1.1785.

GBP / USD

To open long positions for GBP/USD, it is required:

The British pound has formed a new resistance in the area of 1.2908. Only consolidation above this level will lead to an increase in the region of a new maximum of 1.2954, where I recommend fixing profits. In case the pound is lowered in the afternoon to the support area 1.2863, it is best to go back to shopping there after forming a false breakdown, or postpone long positions until upgrade 1.2817.

To open short positions for GBP / USD, it is required:

While the pound is below 1.2908, you can expect to further reduce the pair to the support area of 1.2863. The growth and formation of false breakdown at 1.2908 will be an additional signal to increase short positions. An anchorage below 1.2863 will allow the formation of a new, larger downward wave in the British pound, which will lead to test 1.2817, where I recommend fixing profits.
