EUR/USD locked in a range and a break could be explosive – Confluence Detector

The EUR/USD continues "hugging" the 1.1600 level ahead of the all-important meeting of the European Central Bank on Thursday. 

The Technical Confluences Indicator shows that the pair is currently trading around the 1.1585 confluence zone which consists of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week and the Bolinger Band 15m-Lower.

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.
