GBPUSD – Retail FX traders remain heavily long the British Pound versus the US Dollar, and until that changes we see little reason to call for meaningful GBP/USD strength. Indeed, the majority of traders last turned long the GBP as it traded below $1.3250 through mid-September; the currency has since shed a remarkable 1000+ points versus the US Dollar.
Past performance is not indicative of future results, but our data has historically shown Retail FX traders do poorly in strong currency trends. In that sense we can view our proprietary data as a bellwether for the GBP/USD price trend. As long as ‘the crowd’ remains long and continues buying, our bias will remain firmly in favor of GBP weakness.
