Today, buyers of the euro need to quickly return to the resistance level of 1.1407, the consolidation of which will lead to a new wave of growth to the high of the week at 1.1438, where I recommend to lock in the profit. The formation of a false breakout in the area of intermediate support of 1.1377 will also indicate the presence of major buyers in the market.
