Ahead of the ECB, EUR/USD has its limits set out

EUR/USD  has returned to the low 1.1200s after a round-trip to the upside that was triggered by mixed US data. The focus now shifts to Europe with the ECB set to respond to the latest developments. The world’s most-popular currency pair has its technical battle lines set.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that EUR/USD faces resistance at  1.1254  where it faces the confluence of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the Pivot Point one-month Resistance 1, the Simple Moving Average 200-15m, and the SMA 50-1h.

Further above, the pair faces another cap at  1.1279  where the SMA 100-1d, the PP 1d-R1, and the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day meet.

Looking down, weak support awaits at  1.1220  where the PP 1w-R1 and the previous weekly high converge.

Strong support awaits at the  1.1170-1.1.1181  range where a dense cluster of lines awaits the pair and includes the SMA 100-4h, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week, the BB 4h-Lower, and the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month.

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.
