Pound pressure could lead GBP/USD to 1.1952

GBP/USD  has been looking for a new direction as markets’ concerns focused on Hong Kong, Italy, and Argentina. Nevertheless, the clock is ticking down to Brexit and both sides are far from reaching a deal. How low can the pound go?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  is showing that GBP/USD faces resistance at  1.2071  which is a dense cluster of lines including the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week, the Bollinger Band 15min-Middle, the Simple Moving average 5-1h, the SMA 200-15m, the SMA 50-1h, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the BB 1h-Lower, and more.

Cable faces a minefield of hurdles on the way up with a noteworthy cap at around  1.2110  where the previous daily high, the SMA 5-1d, and the SMA 100-1h all converge.

Looking down, support awaits at  1.2026  where the previous weekly low, the PP 1d-S1 and the previous daily low meet.

The most significant support line awaits only at  1.1952  where we note the confluence of the all-important BB 1d-Lower and the PP one-month Support 1.

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.
