📊 1. RETAIL SENTIMENT
Long Positions: 86% – Average Entry: 1.1196
Short Positions: 14% – Average Entry: 1.0999
Current Price: 1.1010
Analysis:
Retail positioning is heavily skewed towards longs, with the average long entry significantly above the current market price. This creates vulnerability to downside pressure through stop-loss hunting or a bearish squeeze. Such extreme retail bias often acts as a contrarian signal: smart money may continue pushing the price lower to flush out retail traders before any meaningful reversal occurs.
🧾 2. COMMITMENTS OF TRADERS – COT REPORT (June 10, 2025)
🔹 British Pound (GBP)
Non-Commercials (Speculators): Net Long increasing by +7.4K → now at +51.6K
Commercials (Hedgers): Net Short decreasing by -13.9K → now at -60.5K
Total Open Interest: Decreased by -19K
Interpretation:
Speculators are maintaining strong long exposure on GBP, while commercials are covering some shorts—potentially signaling a short-term pause in bullish momentum. However, the drop in overall open interest suggests possible consolidation or short-term uncertainty.
🔹 Swiss Franc (CHF)
Non-Commercials: Net Shorts reduced by -2.7K
Commercials: Net Longs increased by +2.5K
Total Open Interest: Increased by +5.6K
Interpretation:
The CHF is gaining strength. Commercial participants are increasing their long exposure while speculators reduce their shorts—this positive divergence supports a bullish outlook on CHF, especially against retail-heavy long pairs like GBP.
📈 3. CHF SEASONALITY – JUNE

15-Year Avg: +0.0138
10-Year Avg: +0.0099

📊 4. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS (Daily Chart)
Pattern: Descending channel with a recent false breakdown and re-entry
Key Support Zone: 1.0980–1.1000 → tested and defended with a bullish wick
Target Resistance: 1.1170–1.1200 → prior retail cluster, supply zone, and average long entry
Scenario: A confirmed breakout of the channel could trigger a short squeeze toward 1.1170–1.1200
📌 STRATEGIC OUTLOOK
The current GBP/CHF setup is technically and sentimentally delicate. The price sits on a major daily demand zone, while sentiment and macro flows suggest downside pressure remains in play—but also allow room for a potential contrarian rally (short squeeze).
👉 Action Plan:
Wait for intraday/daily confirmation:
Go long above 1.1045 (breakout confirmation) → target 1.1170
Go short below 1.0980 (bearish continuation) → target 1.0860
Long Positions: 86% – Average Entry: 1.1196
