EUR/USD looks perky ahead of the Mid-Terms

The  EUR/USD  is trading above 1.1400 ahead of the US Mid-Term Elections, Can the pair go even higher?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the pair has a dense cluster of support lines at  1.1401. This includes the Bollinger Band 4h-Middle, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the Fibonacci 61.8%, the SMA 100-15m, the BB 15m-Lower, the BB 1h-Middle, the Simple Moving average 1h-, and the SMA 5-4h.

Below we note another substantial cushion at  1.1383  which is the convergence of the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, and the SMA 50-4h.

So, if the EUR/USD has a lot of support. what is going on on the upside? There are a few resistance lines spread out between 1.1401 and  1.1431  which is the meeting point of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month and the Bollinger Band 1h-Upper. However, these lines are not potent.

Further above,  1.1466  is the confluence of the Pivot Points one-week Resistance 1, and the one-day R2.

Looking even higher,  1.1508  is where the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month and the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 3 converge. It is followed closely by  1.1519  where we see the SMA 200-4h and the Pivot Point one-month R2.

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.
