GBP/USD may pause before targeting 1.3243″” Confluence Detector

GBP/USD  has surged on Tuesday amid a growing sense that the Conservatives are on course to win the elections. Where next for cable?  

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  is showing that pound/dollar faces a hurdle at 1.3121, which is the convergence of the Simple Moving Average 5-15m, the SMA 10-15m, the Bollinger Band 15min-Upper, and the Fibonacci 161.8% one-month.  

If GBP/USD manages to pull forward, the next target is 1.3243, which is where the Pivot Point one-month Resistance 3 meets the price.

Support awaits at 1.3032, which is the confluence of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, the Bollinger Band one-day Upper, the Pivot Point one-week R2, the SMA 200-15m, and the SMA 50-1h.  

Further down, the next cushion is 1.2985, which is a juncture of lines including the previous monthly high, the BB 4h-Middle, the SMA 5-one-day, the PP one-week R1, and the previous daily low.

This 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.
