USDCADโ Retail forex traders continue selling aggressively into US Dollar gains versus the Canadian Dollar, and heavily one-sided sentiment warns that the USD/CAD exchange rate may continue onto fresh highs.
Our data shows that open USD/CAD short positions outnumber those long by a substantive 2.9 to 1โnearly 75 percent of all retail open positions are short. Such a large imbalance can often coincide with important crowd sentiment and price extremes, but by definition these extremes are only clear in hindsight. Until we see a turn in crowd positioning we see little reason to abandon our USD/CAD-bullish trading bias.
