Sentiment Warns Euro Breakdown Could be Real ; EURUSD –A substantial shift in FX market sentiment has left traders net-long the EURUSD for the first time since the pair traded to 1.4100 on August 4. Normally we would say that this a strong contrarian signal that the pair could continue its decline. Yet there is likewise risk that the pair could hold multi-month triangle support near current price levels, and the SSI tends to do poorly as a contrarian indicator when currencies remain stuck in broad consolidative ranges. A key question is simple: does the EURUSD have enough traction to take out significant support?
The ratio of long to short positions in the EURUSD stands at 1.04 as nearly 51% of traders are long. Long positions are 32.6% higher than yesterday and an impressive 89.8% stronger since last week. All the while, short positions are a modest 13.5% higher than yesterday yet mostly unchanged since last week. The SSI is a contrarian indicator, and the fact that crowds have turned net-long EURUSD for only the second time this month gives us a cautiously bearish trading bias.
