GBP/USD has more room for falls, path of least resistance is down— Confluence Detector
|GBP/USD dropped below 1.2800 in the wake of Tuesday's European session, and it may be only the beginning, as support is weak.
The Technical Confluences Indicator shows that cable is struggling with 1.2769, which is the convergence of last week's low and the Bollinger Band 4h-Lower.

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.
