Stochastic Oscillator is in the neutral zone, the %K line is above the %D line, which indicates the growth of the EUR/USD quotes.

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.
