EUR/USD leans lower targeting 1.1490

The  EUR/USD  settled down after the hawkish FOMC meeting minutes and the new American tariffs on China. What’s next?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the most significant support line awaits the pair at  1.1490. This is the convergence of the Pivot Point one-day Support 3, the PP one-week Resistance 1, and the Simple Moving Average 100-one hour.

Further down, the next cushion is at  1.1448  which is the meeting point of last week’s high, the SMA 10-one-day, and the Fibonacci 161.8% one-month.

Looking up, resistance is clsoe by:  1.1592  is the confluence of the 4h-high, the SMA 5-4h, the SMA 200-4h, and the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day.

The path to the upside is packed with additional lines, with a notable cluster at  1.1634  which is the confluence of the PP one-day R1, the PP one-week R3, and the Bolinger Band one-hour Upper.

All in all, there is more room to the downside than to the upside.

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.
