GBP/USD eyes 1.2608 as the next downside level

GBP/USD  made a round trip to the upside on Tuesday after UK PM Theresa May presented a new plan only to see it rejected by her colleagues and her political opponents alike. What’s next for GBP/USD?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that GBP/USD faces resistance at  1.2721  which is the convergence of the Simple Moving average 100-15m, the SMA 5-4h, the SMA 10-15m, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day, the Bollinger Band 1h-Middle, and the BB 15min-Upper.

Looking up, the currency pair faces resistance at  1.2792  where we see the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week and the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 1 converge.

Support awaits at  1.2687  where we note the confluence of the BB 1d-Lower, the previous daily low, the BB 1h-Lower, and the BB 4h-Lower.

The next support is already much lower, at  1.2608  where the PP one-day S2 and the PP 1w-S1 meet.

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.
