EUR/USD is well-supported, with clear upside targets

EUR/USD  is trading in a narrow range around 1.1300 as the long Easter weekend approaches. The pair enjoys substantial support. Can it rally?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the round number of  1.1300  is a dense cluster of lines including the Simple Moving Average 5-1h, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, the SMA 10-15m, the SMA 10-1h, the SMA 10-4h, the SMA 50-1h, the SMA 5-4h, the SMA 50-1d, the Bollinger Band 1h-Middle, and more.

More significant support awaits at  1.1282  where we see the convergence of the previous daily low, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month, the SMA 200-1h, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, the BB 4h-Lower, and the SMA 5-1d.

The initial upside target is  1.1347  where the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month, the Pivot Point one-week R1, the BB 1d-Upper, and the SMA 100-1d.

Further above,  1.1388  is the next target where the PP 1w-R2 meets the PP 1m-R1.

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.
