EUR/USD upside looks limited

EUR/USD  is stabilizing around 1.1300 at the wake of a busy week that includes the all-important Fed decision. Where next?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that euro/dollar is currently stuck at around  1.1312  where we see a cluster including the Bollinger Band 15-minute Upper, the previous 4h-high, the BB 15-minute lower, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the BB 15-minute Middle, and the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week.

The most substantial hurdle is around  1.1347  which is a convergence of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, the Bollinger Band 4h-Middle, the Simple Moving Average 100-1h, the SMA 5-one-day, and the SMA 100-4h.

Looking down, some support awaits at around  1.1288  which is the meeting point of the BB one-day Lower, the BB 4h-lower, and the BB1h-Lower. It is only a weak support line.

A considerable cushion is only at  1.1215  which is where 2018 low meets the Pivot Point one-day Support 2.

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.
