British Pound at Risk of Renewed Declines on a Failure Here

British Pound at Risk of Renewed Declines on a Failure Here

GBPUSD – Retail forex traders have most recently sold into British Pound gains versus the suddenly-downtrodden US Dollar. Yet our trader data shows that the majority remain net-long and have remained so since the Sterling broke below the $1.56 mark in July. Until we see a more marked shift towards crowd selling we see little reason to abandon our contrarian calls for GBP weakness.

The $1.5650 level represents a major test for the British Pound; whether or not it holds below will likely decide foreseeable direction in the GBP/USD exchange rate.
