EUR/USD looks weak after Trump’s tariffs

EUR/USD  has been able to stabilize its losses as US bond yields dropped in response to US President Donald Trump announced new tariffs against China. However, the world’s most popular currency pair remains depressed below 1.1100. What’s next? The Non-Farm Payrolls report is eyed.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that EUR/USD is currently struggling around  1.1080  where we see the convergence of the Bollinger Band one-day-Lower, the Pivot Point one-week Support 1, the Simple Moving Average 5-15m, and the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day.

Looking up, significant resistance awaits at  1.1138  which is the meeting point of the SMA 200-1h, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month, and the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week.

The next upside target awaits at  1.1183  which is the confluence of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month, and the PP one-day Resistance 3.

Looking down, weak support awaits at  1.1063  where the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day meets the price.

However, more substantial support is only at  1.0971  where the PP 1d-S3 and the PP 1m-S1 converge.

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.
