How NZD/CAD positioning is sitting
Retail traders are currently 78% long on NZD/CAD — far enough on one side that our signals read it as an extreme, and the further it goes, the more contrarian weight it carries. That is 5 points more short than a week ago. Across the last 21 readings it has swung between 39% and 84% long.
We read positioning against the crowd: the more one-sided it is, 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 NZD/CAD analysis page.
