EUR/USD stuck at 1.1680 – where next?

The  EUR/USD  has settled below 1.1700, getting comfortable in a higher range but not going anywhere fast. There is a reason why it is stuck there, yet a break can send it shooting higher.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the EUR/USD is stuck around the  1.1680  which is the dense cluster of levels including the Simple Moving Average 100-one-hour, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week, the SMA 50-15m, the SMA 10-one-hour, the Bolinger Band one-hour Middle, the SMA 5-one-day, and the SMA 100-one-day.

Looking up, weak resistance awaits at  1.1728  where we see the Pivot Point one-week Resistance 1, the Bolinger Band one- day Upper, and the one-day high.

The next upside target is  1.1795  where we see the Pivot Point one-month Resistance 1.

Looking down, there is some support at  1.1649  which is the convergence of the SMA 50-4h, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, and the one-day low.

Lower, additional support is at  1.1606  which is the meeting point of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week, the SMA 50-one-day, and the Fibonacci 161.8% one-day.

All in all, the path of least resistance is up.

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.
