After the big break, the pound eyes 1.3562

With little attention, Sterling continued its upward march and crossed a major hurdle. It now eyes high levels.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the move above  1.3428  if confirmed, suggests a substantial breakthrough. The line is the convergence of the Bolinger Band 15m-Lower, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month, the Simple Moving Average 10-15m, and the SMA 5-1h.

The round number of  1.3500  may pose a minor challenge as apart from the psychological importance it is also the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 3, but it only serves as a stepping stone to a higher target above.

1.3562  is already a more significant confluence of the Pivot Point one-week Resistance 3, and the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month, two more considerable lines.

On the downside,  1.3407  is the meeting point of the Bolinger Band 1h-Lower, the 1d-Middle, and the Pivot Point one-week thus serving as an immediate defense to any setback.

Further below,  1.3330  is the congestion of the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week, the SMA 200-1h, the SMA 50-4h, and the SMA 10-one-day.

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.
