Why and how do we use the SSI in trading? View our video and download the free trading guide here
GBPUSD - The ratio of long to short positions in the GBPUSD stands at 2.06 as 67% of traders are long. Yesterday the ratio was 1.90; 65% of open positions were long. Long positions are 4.0% higher than yesterday and 16.0% above levels seen last week. Short positions are 4.2% lower than yesterday and 29.1% below levels seen last week.
We use our SSI as a contrarian indicator to price action, and the fact that the majority of traders are long gives signal that the GBPUSD may continue lower. The trading crowd has grown further net-long from yesterday and last week. The combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives a further bearish trading bias.
