EUR/USD looks vulnerable ahead of the Fed

The  EUR/USD  has dropped ahead of the Fed and has a better chance of falling than rising as markets await the big decision.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that strong resistance awaits the pair at  1.1752, which is a dense cluster of the Simple Moving Average 5-15m, the SMA 5-1h, the SMA 200-1h, the SMA 50-4h, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day, and more.

If the pair overcomes this level of resistance,  1.1777  is next. This is the convergence of the Simple Moving Average 5–one day, the SMA 10-4h, the SMA 200-15m, the SMA 50-1h, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, and the SMA 5-4h.

There are quite a few more levels to the upside but the really critical support line  is at  1.1869  which is the confluence of the Bolinger Band one-day Upper, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month, and the Fibonacci 161.8% one-day.

Looking down, the pair has support at  1.1734  which is the meeting point of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month, the one-day high, and the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week.

Yet if it loses the line, the next support line is only at  1.1648, the confluence of the one-week low and the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month.

All in all, resistance is stronger and denser  while support is sparse.

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.
