British Pound at Risk for Further Declines

British Pound at Risk for Further Declines

GBPUSD–A sharp decline in the British Pound has been met with similarly aggressive retail FX trader buying, and a contrarian view of crowd sentiment leaves us calling for GBP/USD declines.

Our data shows there are currently 1.6 open positions long the GBP/USD for every one that is short—matching extremes seen through the early-December GBP decline into $1.49.

As long as crowds continue to buy, we will watch for further GBP weakness.
