Of great importance is the results of the US presidential elections, as it will determine whether the US dollar will maintain its position in the market, or weaken against other currencies such as the euro. If Joe Biden wins, the US dollar will weaken sharply. In that case, long positions will be a more correct decision for trading.

Aside from that, the US Federal Reserve has a scheduled meeting today, however, many do not expect dramatic changes in the monetary policy. Nevertheless, the central bank's indecision will have a positive effect on the euro's position against the dollar.
