After falling below low support, GBP/USD could dive even deeper

The GBP/USD is trading at the 1.30 handle, extending its losses. Where will it find support?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that the pair has a bit of support at  1.3027, which is the convergence of the Pivot Point one-day Support 2 and the Pivot Point one-week Support 2. However, this is a weak line.

Further down, a more potent line is already below 1.3000. At  1.2973we see the Fibonacci 161.8% one-week.

Looking up, we already see significant resistance  at  1.3109  which is the 4h-high, the one-day high, the Bolinger Band 15m-Middle, the Bolinger Band one-hour Lower, the Simple Moving Average 50-15m and more.

It is followed closely by the  1.3142  which is the congestion of the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day, the Pivot Point one-week Support 1, the Bolinger Band 15m-Upper, and the Simple Moving Average 5-4h. Even higher,  1.3190  is the confluence of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, the Simple Moving Average 200-15m, the SMA 50-15m and more.

All in all, the pair may find it easier to fall than to recover.  

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.
