GBPUSD Our retail FX trader data shows that the majority of traders remain long the British Pound versus the US Dollar, and a contrarian view of crowd sentiment leaves us focused on further short-term weakness. Last week we noted that traders had previously turned net-short for the first time since May, and that served as signal that the pair could be at a key turning point. That signal preceded a major break to the topside, but since then we’ve seen the pair break down and crowds have resumed buying.

And as such, one-sided sentiment now leaves us firmly in favor of selling into GBP declines.
