Spot Gold: Retail trader data shows 74.0% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 2.85 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 2.1% lower than yesterday and 10.7% lower from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 27.1% higher than yesterday and 27.3% higher from last week.
We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests Spot Gold prices may continue to fall. Yet traders are less net-long than yesterday and compared with last week. Recent changes in sentiment warn that the current Spot Gold price trend may soon reverse higher despite the fact traders remain net-long.
