How GBPCAD positioning is sitting
Retail traders are currently 79% short on GBPCAD — far enough on one side that our engine reads it as an extreme, where the contrarian weight is at its strongest. That is 27 points more short than a week ago. The book has stayed net short for 4 readings in a row. Across the last 22 readings it has swung between 21% and 70% long, and today sits at the edge of that range.
We read positioning against the crowd: the more one-sided the book, the more weight it carries as a contrarian signal, and below 60% it carries none. It is one of five factors in the signal for this pair — never a trade on its own. The full read, with levels, patterns and volatility, is on the GBPCAD analysis page.
