EUR/USD recovery may come to a halt as it meets resistance

EUR/USD  is consolidating its losses from last week and trying to recover in the wake of the new week. However, it may hit bumps in the road sooner rather than later.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the resistance awaits the pair at  1.1406  where we see the convergence of the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 1, the Simple Moving Average 100-1h, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, the Bollinger Band 1h-Upper, the SMA 200-4h, and more.

If it manages to climb above this level, the next cap is quite close. At  1.1441  we see the confluence of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week, the SMA 100-4h, the BB one-day Middle, and the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month.

Looking down, there are several cushions on the way down, but the most significant support level awaits euro/dollar only at  1.1323  where we see the Pivot Point one-day Support 2 and the PP one-month Support 1 converge.

Further down,  1.1270  could halt a sell-off. We see the confluence of the PP one-week Support 2 and last month’s low at that low point.

All in all, the path of least resistance is to the downside.

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.
