GBP/USD faces significant resistance, but still looks perky

GBP/USD  is off the highs above 1.3300 but still holding onto high ground close to the number as optimism about a delay of Brexit prevails. What’s next?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that cable battles a dense cluster of levels around  1.3308  where we see the Simple Moving Average 5-15m, the SMA 10-15m, the SMA 100-15m, the Bollinger Band 15min-Middle, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, and the SMA 50-15m.

Significant resistance awaits at  1.3363  where we see the meeting point of the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 1, the PP 1w-R3, and the previous daily high.

The next upside target is  1.3412  which is the confluence of the PP 1m-R1, the PP 1d-R2.

Looking down, significant support awaits at  1.3239  where we see the convergence of the previous day’s low, the PP 1w-R2, and the PP 1d-S1.

The next support line is very close, at  1.3217  where we see the previous month’s high, and the BB 4h-Middle.

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.
