In fact, traders have remained net-long since Sep 20 when GBPUSD traded near 1.30463; price has moved 0.8% lower since then. The number of traders net-long is 1.0% higher than yesterday and 1.0% lower from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 2.6% higher than yesterday and 8.3% lower from last week.

GBPUSD Sentiment Prompts a Mixed Bias

We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests GBPUSD prices may continue to fall.
