If the EUR/USD wants to recover, breaking above 1.1444 is a must

The  EUR/USD  consolidated its losses and is looking for a new direction. In order to stage a recovery and not only a dead-cat bounce, there are some hurdles to cross.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the  1.1444  is a convergence of potent technical lines: the Fibonacci 161.8% one-month, the Bolinger Band 4h-Middle, and the Bolinger Band one-day Lower. We also find Fibonacci 23.6% one-week just above.

A break will open the door to another resistance line close by  1.1474which is the confluence of the Pivot Point one-month Support 2, and the  Pivot Point one-day Resistance 2.

Support is at  1.1365  which is the meeting point of the recent 2018 low, the Pivot Point one-month Support 3, and the PP one-day Support 1.

Further down, there are very few support lines with one noteworthy point at  1.1326  which is the Fibonacci 161.8% one-day.

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.
