USD/JPY faces an uphill battle after the recent fall

The USD/JPY fell on some dovish comments by Fed officials and also due to some concerns about trade. What’s next?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  faces tough resistance around  113.00, a level which is the convergence of the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the Simple Moving Average 100-15m, the SMA 200-4h,

Further above,  113.30  is the confluence of the SMA 100-4h, Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, the SMA 200-15m, and the SMA 50-1h.

Looking down, support is at  112.67, which is the meeting point of the previous 4h-low, the Bollinger Band 15m-Lower, and the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month.

If USD/JPY loses 112.67, the next cushion is only at  112.16  where we see the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month and the Pivot Point one-month Support 1.

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.
