Implications of Net-Short Trader Sentiment
Analysts often adopt a contrarian perspective on crowd sentiment, and the fact that traders are net-short implies that EUR/GBP prices may continue to rise.
Traders are more net-short compared to both yesterday and last week. This combination of current sentiment and recent changes enhances a EUR/GBP-bullish contrarian trading bias.
