Retail Trader Sentiment Update: GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/JPY Latest

AUD/USD:

Retail trader data reveals that 78.72% of traders are net-long, with a ratio of 3.70 long traders for every short trader. The number of net-long traders has increased by 5.45% since yesterday and 34.21% since last week. Conversely, net-short traders have decreased by 14.05% since yesterday and 49.63% since last week.

Taking a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, the predominance of net-long traders suggests AUD/USD prices may continue to fall. The increase in net-long positions both daily and weekly strengthens this bearish outlook for AUD/USD.

While a contrarian view to crowd sentiment suggests GBP/USD prices may continue to rise due to the majority being net-short, recent changes in sentiment indicate a potential downward reversal in the current GBP/USD price trend.
