GBP/USD will find it hard to recover above 1.2700

GBP/USD  has been dropping after Boris Johnson committed to leaving the EU by October 31st, “do or die.” What do the charts say about the next moves?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that cable enjoys support at  1.2667  where we see the convergence of the previous hourly low, the Bollinger Band 15min-Lower, and the BB 1d-Middle.

Further support awaits at  1.2602  where we note the confluence of the Pivot Point one-day Support 2 and the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week.

The next cushion is at  1.2564  where the previous monthly low meets the BB 1d-Lower.

Resistance awaits at  1.2707  where we see a dense cluster of lines including the SMA 5-4h, the SMA 200-4h, the SMA 5-1d, and the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month.

The next cap is  1.2800  which is where the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month, the BB 1d-Upper and the previous daily high.

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.
