EUR/USD locked in tight range but set to explode on Fed Day – Confluence Detector

EUR/USD  is trading above 1.10 as markets gear up for the all-important decision by the Federal Reserve. The world’s most popular currency pair is locked in a tight range but may explode when the central bank decides.  

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  is showing that EUR/USD is capped at around 1.1075, where a dense cluster of lines awaits it. That includes the Bollinger Band 15min-Upper, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month, the previous daily high, the Simple Moving Average 50-15m, the SMA 10-1h, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month, the SMA 10-1h, and more.  

Further above, it faces only weak resistance. The initial target could be 1.1151, which is the convergence of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month, the Pivot Point one-week Resistance 1, and the BB 1d-Upper.  

Looking down, significant support awaits at 1.1048, where a juncture of levels awaits it: the SMA 50-4h, the SMA 10-1d, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the SMA 5-1d, the SMA 100-15m, the SMA 100-1h, and the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week.

If it falls below this level, the next downside target is 1.0967, which is the convergence of the previous monthly low, the BB 1d-Lower, and the PP 1d-S2 awaits it.

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.
