2. USD Correction Offers Long Opportunity- Looking To Buy Dips Why Cant the Dollar Hold its Gains? Here are Two Factors The US Dollar rallied sharply after holding key lows through this weeks trading, but today has the Greenback falling sharply versus the Euro, Swiss Franc, and Australian Dollar. What is getting in the way of a more sustained Dollar bounce? Were looking at two factors in particularforex volatility and positioning. Lack of Volatility Getting in the Way of Dollar Strength A strong correlation between the USDOLLAR and volatility suggests the next big Dollar rally will need to come on a bigger breakout in forex market volatility. Theres another key factor keeping us from calling for a much larger USD rally, and its the fact that too many people are making the same trade. Too Many Traders Calling for the Same Trade Forex Positioning Needs to Shift Yesterday we highlighted the fact that there was risk of a major EURUSD reversal and broader Dollar recovery, but that was contingent on a similarly significant pullback in forex trader positions. What does that mean exactly? Our FXCM Speculative Sentiment Index data uses real trader data to tell us how many people are long or short a specific currency pair, and this information drives our sentiment-based trading strategies. Its usually pretty simple: if everyones buying, we typically look to sell; if everyones selling, we typically look to buy. Yet the trading crowd was recently its most short EURUSD on recorda clear sign of a potential sentiment and price extreme. Its at these major turning points that we might actually look to trade in the same direction. Or in other words, when traders are extremely short we might look to sell as well.
