After Nowotny sends EUR/USD highs, real resistance is around 1.2420

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the recent surge in the EUR/USD sent it piercing through a dense area of resistance levels. The  $1.2325 to $1.2335  area it had struggled with is the confluence of the SM100-15m, the SMA10- one day, the 1h low, the SMA10-1h, the SMA200-4h, the Bolinger Band 1h-Middle (Stdv 2.2), the BB 1d-Middle, the SMA-t-1hv, the BB 15m-Middle, the SMA10 15m, the BB 1h Upper and the one-day high.

Those  comments from Ewald Nowotny  sent it to around $1.2370, but there is no significant resistance until approximately  $1.2424, which is where we see a convergence of the Pivot Point 1d R3, the BB 1d-Upper and the Fibonacci 161.8% one week.

If this line were to break, there is little resistance until around  $1.2480, where we see the Pivot Point 1 week R3, the one-month high, and the PP one-month R1.

Lower support is around  $1.2285, where the PP one-day S1, Fibo 161.8% one month, and the SMA100-1h.

All in all, this is a significant move that leads the door to further as there are few confluences above.

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. This means 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.
