104.70 is the next downside target for USD/JPY

USD/JPY has been on the back foot as trade have been intensifying and the yen enjoys safe-haven demand. What levels should we watch?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  is showing that USD/JPY enjoys some support around  105.85  which is the convergence of the Pivot Point one-month Support 3, the Bollinger Band 1h-Lower, and the Pivot Point one-day Support 2.

Below, noteworthy support awaits only at  104.70  where last year’s low converges with the Pivot Point one-week Support 2.

Looking up, the pair may face resistance at  106.52  where we note the confluence of the Simple Moving Average 5-4h, the BB 1h-Middle, and the previous daily low.

Higher, the upside target is  107.18  where last month’s low, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, and the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week create a resistance.

Here is how it looks on the tool:

Confluence Detector

The Confluence Detector finds  exciting opportunities using Technical Confluences.  The TC is a tool to locate and point out those price levels where there is a  congestion of indicators,  moving averages,  Fibonacci levels, Pivot Points, etc. Knowing where these congestion points are located is very useful for the trader, and can be used as a basis for different strategies.

This tool assigns a certain amount of “weight” to each indicator, and this “weight” can influence  adjacents  price levels. These weightings mean that one  price level without any indicator  or moving average but under the influence of two “strongly weighted” levels accumulate more resistance than their neighbors. In these cases, the tool signals resistance in apparently empty areas.
