GBP/USD ratio: 1.00
Trading Forecast: Bullish

British Pound/US Dollar

GBPUSD – Forex positioning has taken a sharp turn in the British Pound/US Dollar pair, and our sentiment-based forex trading strategies recently flipped from long to short the GBP/USD. The SSI ratio is currently at 1.00 as positioning remains neutral. This represents a sharp shift from yesterday, when 58 percent of open positions were short the GBP/USD. Long positions have jumped 31.5 percent—giving us a clear contrarian bearish bias on the GBP/USD. Short positions are by comparison 6.4 percent lower than yesterday yet 60.2 percent stronger since last week. On balance this given reason to believe that the British Pound may continue its slide against the US Dollar.
