GBPUSD – Retail forex traders remain aggressively long the British Pound versus the US Dollar, and a contrarian view of crowd sentiment leads us to believe that a test of key GBP/USD lows remains likely.
The number of open long positions outnumber those short by 2.4 to 1; 71% of open positions are long. Such one-sided sentiment can sometimes coincide with important turns in price, but sentiment and price extremes are only clear in hindsight. Until we see a substantive shift we’ll remain in favor of selling into GBP declines.
