The USDCHF ratio stands at -1.52, with 60% of traders short, compared to -1.22 yesterday and –1.26 last week. In detail, long positions have dropped 14.4% from Wednesday and 44.8% since last week. Suggesting retailers are trying to pick a top, shorts grew 6.7% from yesterday and 27.6% from last week. Open interest is fell a modest 2.8% from yesterday and is only 2.1% below its monthly average.
