EUR/USD Short Play: Betting on Resistance and Dollar Strength!

Hey everyone, Deniz here from Antalya. Taking a look at EUR/USD today, and it's been a bit of a grind, isn't it? We're hanging around 1.08615, pretty much flat for the day with that tiny 0.11% gain. The trend's been sideways, bouncing between 1.08442 and 1.08788, which tells you a lot about the current indecision. But sometimes, these sideways markets give us the best setups if you're patient.

Technical Read: Resistance Hold

Looking at the charts, we've got a clear resistance zone around 1.0879. Price has tried to push through there today but keeps getting slapped back down. My short entry for an intraday play is set at 1.0867 – I'm looking for a retest of that upper range and a rejection. This is a classic setup right here, fading the strength near a key resistance. My stop loss is a tight one at 1.0895, just above the 1.0879 resistance and keeping us safe if it decides to make a run for 1.09. Can't make this up, the levels are just screaming for a retest.

Fundamental Headwinds & Target

Fundamentally, the Euro isn't seeing a lot of strong catalysts to push it significantly higher right now. We've still got underlying concerns about economic growth in the Eurozone, and the dollar has been showing some resilience lately, especially when global sentiment gets a bit shaky. This slight dollar strength coupled with the technical resistance could give us the edge we need. My take profit is set at 1.0812, aiming for a dip towards the next major support at 1.08 and even potentially the 1
