EUR/USD path of least resistance is to the upside ahead of Non-Farm Payrolls – Confluence Detector

EUR/USD  has been gradually recovering as the US dollar was hit by disappointing data. And now, the greenback faces the most-important test – Non-Farm Payrolls.

Close by, the world’s most popular currency pair enjoys another solid support cluster at 1.0941, which is the convergence including the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month, the BB 4h-Middle, and the previous daily low.

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.
