EUR/USD will find it hard to recover as it faces strong resistance

EUR/USD  has been on the back foot after the US reported more job gains than had been expected in June. Friday’s Non-Farm Payrolls sent the greenback significantly higher. Can euro/dollar recovery? It faces several hurdles.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  is struggling around  1.1220  which is the meeting point of the Pivot Point one-month Support 1, the previous hourly low, and the previous four-hour low.

Looking up, the world’s most popular currency pair faces fierce resistance at a region spanning from  1.1261 to 1.1273. This is a cluster consisting of the Simple Moving Average 50-1h, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, the Bollinger Band 4h-Lower, the SMA 200-4h, the SMA 100-1d, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month, and the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day.

Even higher, another considerable cap awaits at  1.1319  which is the confluence of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month and the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week.

Looking down, support awaits at  1.1161  where the previous monthly low, the PP 1d-S2, and the PP 1w-S1 converge.

Below, only weak support awaits at  1.1109  where the BB 1d-Lower, the PP 1d-S3, and the PP 1w-S2 await EUR/USD.

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.
