Contrarian Perspective Suggests Potential Downtrend
Analysts often adopt a contrarian stance to crowd sentiment, meaning that the net-long position of traders indicates EUR/USD prices may continue to decline.
DailyFX and IG‘s data reveal that traders are net-long EUR/USD for the first time since July 03, 2024, when the pair traded near 1.08. The net-long position has grown compared to both yesterday and last week. This shift in sentiment, coupled with recent changes, reinforces a stronger EUR/USD-bearish contrarian trading bias.
