GBP/USD sits on the brink – will it plunge?

GBP/USD   has been consolidating its losses above 1.2500 and still looking for a new direction. What do the technical levels reveal?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that GBP/USD enjoys significant support at  1.2479  where we note the convergence of the previous yearly low, the Pivot Point one-day Support 2, and the previous weekly low.

However, if cable falls below this level, the next cushion is weak and only at  1.2388  where the Pivot Point one-month Support 2.

Resistance awaits at  1.2545  where a dense cluster of lines awaits pound/dollar. It includes the PP 1d-R1, the PP 1m-S1, the previous daily high, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week, and the Bollinger Band 1h-Upper.

Further up, another noteworthy cap awaits at  1.2571  which is the meeting point of the Fibonacci 161.8% one-day and the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week.

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.
