Midday Snapshot

Hello, I`m Jessica Walker and here’s how traders have performed over the 12 hours to noon GMT on this Wednesday.
Euro/Dollar rose by a total of 62 pips and it was point 19% in the green at noon as it declined from the daily high. Traded volume is 23% down from the pair’s monthly average and the neutral sentiment is just 6% short. Bulls have been in better positions so far, but some chances were there for bears in the late pull back.
Pound/Dollar surged by 61 pips, but it was back near the opening level at midday as it declined from the high of 1 5249. The Cable sees a typical amount of funds and the neutral sentiment of the traders is 13% long. Rise was followed by a slide, making it difficult to draw any conclusion regarding performance patterns.
Dollar/Yen has had a relatively slow day – volatility is just 25 pips and traded volume is extremely low. Most of the traders have been forecasting the rate to move higher. There were some chances for traders after 8 o’clock, but moves in funds should be limited by the passive trading and low volatility.
Pound/Yen was back near the opening level at midday after walking in a total range of 73 pips. Turnover is 36% down from the pair’s usual and sentiment is strongly bullish as long positions dominate by 37%. There have been both chances and risks for traders, but changes in trading accounts should be limited by the calm trading.
Euro/Yen’s trend has changed a couple of times and the rate was point 14% up from the opening level at noon. This pair sees less than half of the monthly average funds and sentiment of the traders is strongly bullish, 48% long. Traders have seen chances and risks, but the passive trading is what should limit changes in funds.
