EUR/USD enjoys robust support, can it rally?– Confluence Detector

EUR/USD is trading in a narrow range around 1.1300 as the long Easter weekend approaches. The pair enjoys substantial support. Can it rally? 

The Technical Confluences Indicator shows that the round number of 1.1300 is a dense cluster of lines including the Simple Moving Average 5-1h, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, the SMA 10-15m, the SMA 10-1h, the SMA 10-4h, the SMA 50-1h, the SMA 5-4h, the SMA 50-1d, the Bollinger Band 1h-Middle, and more.

More significant support awaits at 1.1282 where we see the convergence of the previous daily low, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month, the SMA 200-1h, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, the BB 4h-Lower, and the SMA 5-1d. 

The initial upside target is 1.1347 where the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month, the Pivot Point one-week R1, the BB 1d-Upper, and the SMA 100-1d.

Further above, 1.1388 is the next target where the PP 1w-R2 meets the PP 1m-R1.

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.
