What is Forex Sentiment?

Forex sentiment represents the percentage of retail traders who are long (buying) versus short (selling) a particular currency pair at any given time.

Why Sentiment Matters

  • Contrarian Indicator: When 80%+ of retail traders are long/short, markets often move in the opposite direction
  • Risk Assessment: High sentiment clustering can indicate overbought/oversold conditions
  • Timing Tool: Sentiment extremes often coincide with market reversals
  • Confirmation: Can confirm or contradict technical analysis signals

Data Quality

We monitor data quality through automated checks and validation. Our data represents retail trader positioning and should be used alongside other analysis methods.
