In any recovery attempt, EUR/USD will face tough resistance

The  EUR/USD  is still licking its wounds from the one-two punch dealt by Draghi and Powell last week but may have a hard time to recover.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the  1.1596  is a dense cluster of resistance lines, the Bolinger Band 15m-Middle, the Simple Moving Average 10-4h, the SMA 10-15m, the SMA 5-15m, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, and the Bolinger Band 15m-Upper.

Should the pair overcome this level,  1.1650  poses the next challenge as it is the convergence of the potent Fibonacci 23.6% one-month and the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 1. The most significant resistance line is at  1.1729  which is the confluence of the SMA 10-one-day, the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 3, and the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month.

On the downside, there are fewer support lines of substance.  1.1578is the meeting point of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day and the 4-h high. However, this is not a significant line, and stronger support awaits only at  1.1493  which is where the Bolinger Band 1h-Lower, the Fibonacci 161.8% one-day, and the Pivot Point on-week Support 1 converge.

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.
