Is 1.1760 the next stop for EUR/USD?

The EUR/USD created a double bottom from where it bounced in a “dead cat” style. Can it recover? Not so fast.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the pair faces resistance around $1.1834  with the convergence of the Pivot Point one-month Support 2, the Bolinger Band one-hour Lower, and the BB 15-Lower. The next significant congestion of potent lines is at $1.1850, where the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day and the Pivot Point one-week S1 meet.

The area above these levels is packed with resistance lines.

On the way down, there is more room. A significant support line appears only at $1.1760, which is the Pivot Point one-week Support 2. Further down, the round $1.1700  level is the Pivot Point one-week Support 3.

All in all, there is a lot of space to the downside and resistance to the upside.  

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.
