GBP/USD faces an uphill struggle, like May

GBP/USD  dropped on the growing chances that UK PM Theresa May will be forced to quit within a month and as her successor may be Boris Johnson, a staunch supporter of Brexit. What levels should we watch?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that GBP/USD is capped below  1.2807  which is the confluence of the Bollinger Band one-day Lower, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day, the Simple Moving Average 5-4h, the BB 1h-Middle, among others.

Cable faces further resistance culminating at  1.2866  which is the convergence of the Pivot Point one-month Support 1, the previous daily high, the previous monthly low, and the BB 4h-Middle.

Weak support awaits at  1.2720  where the Pivot Point one-week S3 awaits the currency pair.

The last line of support is  1.2701  where the Pivot Point one-day S3 meets the PP 1m-S2.

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.
