USDCAD– Retail FX traders remain aggressively short the US Dollar versus the Canadian Dollar, and until this changes we will maintain our contrarian calls for further USD/CAD strength.

In fact our data shows that aggregate positioning was recently at its most net-short USD/CAD since at least 2011. It’s possible that sentiment has reached an important extreme, but this is only obvious in hindsight. We would need to see a material shift towards crowd buying before calling for a meaningful turnaround.
