EUR/USD battle lines set for the next big move

After the EUR/USD failed to breach nor reach $1.2000 (as forecast here), the pair dropped to lower ground and found some stability. This stability may not last too long as the  US Retail Sales are coming up. The data can go in either direction and the EUR/USD has its battle lines drawn.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows a dense cluster of resistance at $1.1954. This is the convergence of the   Simple Moving Average 200-15m, the SMA 50-1h, the SMA 10-4h, and the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day.

Should the pair break this line, the next substantial congestion is at $1.2022  which is the meeting point of potent levels: the SMA 200-1d, the SMA 100-4h, and the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 2.

On the downside, initial support awaits at $1.1904, which is the confluence of the SMA 5-1d, the Bolinger Band 1h-Lower (Stdv. 2.2), and the Pivot Point one-day Support 1.

Much lower, $1.1822  is the lowers point in 2018 and also the Pivot Point one-month Support 2.

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.
