When EUR/USD chooses a direction, there is a better chance that it goes to the upside

The EUR/USD is getting comfortable in a range, but it may not stay that way. When the pair chooses a direction, it may be to the upside. The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the EUR/USD has lots of support on the downside and not so much resistance to the upside.

There is a definite congestion of support at around $1.2350. This is the meeting point of the SMA200-15m, the SMA50-1h, the one-week high, Pivot Point one-week R1, Bolinger Band one-hour Lower (Stdv 2.2), the Fibo 38.2% one-day, the Fibo 38.2% one-month, and the SMA50 one-day. This clear confluence provides a lot of support.

Looking up, the technical resistance lines are scattered with perhaps more resistance at $1.2425. This is a convergence of the PP one-day R2 and the Fibo 161.8% one-week. More serious resistance is only around $1.2480: the confluence of the PP one-week R2, the one-month high, and the Pivot Point one-month R1.

Below $1.2350, we find further support around $1.2325, where the SMA200-4h, Bolinger Band one-day-Middle, PP one-day S1, and BB one hour Middle all meet.

Here is how it looks on the tool:

EUR USD Technical convergence levels

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. This means 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.
