GBPUSD–A sharp decline in the British Pound has been met with similarly aggressive retail FX trader buying, and a contrarian view of crowd sentiment leaves us calling for GBP/USD declines.
Our data shows there are currently 1.6 open positions long the GBP/USD for every one that is short—matching extremes seen through the early-December GBP decline into $1.49.
As long as crowds continue to buy, we will watch for further GBP weakness.
