GBPUSD –Increasingly indecisive British Pound/US Dollar positioning has left our forex trading strategies effectively flat the GBP/USD. The ratio of long to short positions in the GBPUSD stands at -1.05 as nearly 51% of traders are short. Yesterday, the ratio was at -1.60 as 61% of open positions were short. In detail, long positions are 38.6% higher than yesterday and 9.3% weaker since last week. Short positions are 9.1% lower than yesterday and 53.5% stronger since last week. Open interest is 9.3% stronger than yesterday and 47.8% above its monthly average. On balance, the recent surge in long positions gives us a marginally bearish bias. Yet the nearly-neutral SSI ratio limits confidence in sentiment-based forecasts.
