1.36 will be a tough nut to crack for GBP/USD

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that after the recent fall, the GBP/USD will find it hard to recover above $1.3605. This is the convergence of several lines: the Bolinger Band 15m-Middle, the Simple Moving Average-5-1hv, the SMA-5-4h, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the SMA10-15m, the Bolinger Band 1h-Middle, and the SMA-5-15m.

The pair may find a more accessible path to the downside. A significant cluster of support awaits at $1.3530, the congestion of the Bolinger Band one-hour Lower, the Pivot Point one-day S1, and the Pivot Point one-month S1.

If the pair does enjoy a meaningful recovery, the $1.3750  level is a confluence of potent levels: the one-month low, the one-week low, the Pivot Point one-day R3, and the Fibonacci 161.8% one-day.

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. 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.
