EUR/USD is well-positioned ahead of the Fed

EUR/USD  has been grinding its way higher in cautious trading ahead of the all-important Fed decision, where a rate cut is on the cards. Can it continue higher? The technical setup is upbeat for the world’s most popular currency pair.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that EUR/USD has solid support at  1.1150  where we see a dense cluster of lines including the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the previous 4h-low, the Bollinger Band 4h-Middle, the Simple Moving Average 100-1h, the SMA 200-15m, the SMA 50-1h, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, and the SMA 5-1d

Looking up, noteworthy resistance awaits at  1.1220  where the Pivot Point one-month Support 1 converges with the Bollinger Band one-day Middle.

Even higher, EUR/USD may target  1.1260  which is the meeting point of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month and the SMA 200-4h.

Below 1.1150, the next cushion is at  1.1115  which is the confluence of the PP 1d-S3, the BB 1d-Lower, and the Fibonacci 161.8% one-day.

Further below, the downside target is  1.1057  where the PP 1m-S2 meets the price.

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.
