GBPUSD – Our retail forex trader data shows that the majority remain long the British Pound versus the US Dollar, and a contrarian view of crowd sentiment points to further GBP/USD weakness.
Indeed the number of retail open long positions outnumbers those short by a sizable 1.9 to 1; 65% of open positions are long. The majority of traders has remained long since the pair traded near $1.58 in August, and as long as this remains the case we will continue to watch for GBP/USD weakness.
