Quantitative Strategist David Rodriguez believes the S&P 500 looks poised to continue higher as trader positioning on the SPX500 contract favors further short-term gains:

"Until we see a larger push below a critical price floor at 1900 and a commensurate move in crowd positioning, we see little choice but to remain in favor of further stock market gains."
 
SSI points to further gains in USD/CAD

Both the Breakout2 and Momentum2 strategies on DailyFXplus.com indicate that USD/CAD may continue higher based on current readings from the Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI).

"The Euro continues to trade to fresh lows versus the US Dollar, and heavily one-sided crowd positions suggest it could depreciate further before a meaningful recovery."

"The forex trading crowd remains short the US Dollar versus the Japanese Yen for the first time since December, and the substantial shift warns that the USDJPY is at an important turning point."

Near-Term Volume Profile Supportive of USD/JPY

Below is an excerpt from Kristian Kerr's new weekly volume report on DailyFX.com

"USD/JPY touched its highest level since late January on Monday before pulling back over the past few days. Generally increasing volume since late July is suggestive of a budding uptrend.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

"An increase in On-Balance-Volume during the same period further supports the burgeoning trend move higher. Declining prices over past few days on lower than average volume favors an eventual resumption higher."
 
SSI: Bearish bias for AUD/USD heading into Aussie GDP

The ratio of long to short positions in the AUD/USD stands at 2.20 as 69% of traders are long. Yesterday the ratio was 1.56; 61% of open positions were long. Long positions are 8.0% higher than yesterday and 20.3% above levels seen last week. Short positions are 23.3% lower than yesterday and 29.0% below levels seen last week.

SSI_2014-09-02_236234y624_body_Picture_7.png

We use the Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI) as a contrarian indicator to price action, and the fact that the majority of traders are long gives signal that the AUDUSD may continue lower. The trading crowd has grown further net-long from yesterday and last week. The combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives a further bearish trading bias.
