After May reaches out to Corbyn, GBP/USD may reach higher ground

GBP/USD  rose after UK PM Theresa May announced she is making an attempt to break the logjam and reached out to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to find a solution. Technical levels are also hopeful for a solution.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that cable enjoys significant support at  1.3125  which is the convergence of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day, and the Bollinger Band 15min-Lower.

If it breaks lower, further support awaits at  1.3100  where we see the confluence of the BB 1h-Middle, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, and the Simple Moving Average 50-one-day.

All in all support is quite substantial.

On the other hand, resistance clusters are weaker. At  1.3158  we see the meeting point of the Bollinger Band 4h-Upper, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week and the previous daily high.

The next noteworthy juncture is only at  1.3225  where we see  the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month, and the Pivot Point one-week R2 converge.

So, the path of least resistance is to the upside.

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.
