GBPUSD – Forex trading crowds have aggressively sold into recent British Pound strength, giving us contrarian signal that the pair may continue its rally against the US Dollar (ticker: USDOLLAR). Indeed, traders are now their most net-short GBPUSD since the pair rallied into its $1.65 highs through late 2011. Can we set a similar sentiment extreme and an important GBPUSD top through short-term price action? A hold of major trading ranges in other USD currency pairs suggests the GBP may likewise remain below highs. We hesitate to join such one-sided retail trading crowd sentiment, but a major break higher seems relatively unlikely without follow-through from other currency pairs.
