EUR/USD: Break or bounce at resistance convergence cluster?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator, shows that the EUR/USD is approaching a resistance area where many critical technical levels converge. The $1.2325  level is where the SMA100-4h, the SMA200-4h, the Bolinger Band 1 day Middle (Stdv 2.2), BB 1h-upper, Pivot Point one-day Resistance 1, the SMA5-15m, and the BB 15m Upper all meet.

A break higher will open the door to the $1.2348  region where the there is another significant cluster featuring the one-week high, the Pivot Point one week R1, the PP one day R2, and the SMA50 one day meet.

A failure will open the door to the previous and choppy trading area around $1.2275  which has the SMA100-15m, the Fibo 61.8% one-month, BB one hour Middle, the SMA50, the SMA10-1h and more lines.

All in all, the lines to the upside are more apparent than those to the downside.

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.
