GBP/USD ratio: 1.24
Trading Forecast: Bearish

GBPUSD – Sharp one-sided trader sentiment has left our forex trading strategies heavily short the GBP/USD. Indeed, a sharp 41.0 percent jump in GBP/USD-long positions means that 55 percent traders are currently long the currency pair. Yesterday, positioning was almost exactly neutral as 50 percent of traders were long. Under normal circumstances, we would take a strongly bearish bias on the GBP/USD based on increasingly one-sided sentiment. Yet recently choppy price action gives us reason to believe that we may continue to see the GBP trade within a narrowing range against the US Dollar.
