Climbing down is hard, so will USD/JPY continue higher?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows a massive concentration of support lines below the current price of the USD/JPY. This suggests another move to the upside as the path of least resistance. The initial convergence cluster is at ¥109.20. This is the meeting point of the Boling Band one-hour Middle, the SMA100-15m the SMA100-1h, SMA-5-4h, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, and the SMA10-4h.

It is closely followed around ¥10910  with the SMA-5 one-day, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day, the Fibo 23.6 one-week, and the Bolinger Band one-hour Lower.

If that is not enough, the area around ¥108.80  is the confluence area of the on-month R2, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, and the Pivot Point one-month R2. The density of the Market Impact Tool speaks for itself.

A dense cluster of confluence awaits at ¥109.45  where the Bolinger Band 15m-Upper, the Pivot Point one-day R1, the Bolinger Band one-day Upper, the Bolinger Band 1h-Upper and several more lines meet. Further above, resistance lines are fewer and further between.

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.
