Trading plan for EUR/USD on May 26
Despite the price rebound from the level of 1.0636, there is still no signal to buy the euro. The main increase in the volume of long positions will occur after holding the price above the value of 1.0750. This move will indicate a prolongation of the correction.
Until then, traders do not exclude the amplitude movement within the variable pivot point.

Stable price retention above the value of 1.2600 in a four-hour period will lead to a subsequent move towards the resistance area of 1.2670/1.2720.
At the same time, traders allow a slowdown in the upward cycle due to the overbought condition of the British currency. In this case, an amplitude move within the limits of 1.2500/1.2600 is possible, which will eventually lead to a change in trading interest.
