Consensus Longs & Shorts

Consensus Longs & Shorts

One of the questions I get asked most often is:
“What’s the consensus trade right now?”

The simplest way to answer that is to rank assets by sentiment.
Our Sentiment Matters Aggregates combine 500+ sentiment indicators across 50+ assets, showing at a glance which assets are most loved — and which are most disliked.

If you’re hunting for contrarian ideas, this is a great place to start.

The most consensus views right now:

Consensus Longs
 • South African Rand
 • Technology
 • Gold
 • Copper

Consensus Shorts
 • Bitcoin
 • Health Care
 • New Zealand Dollar
 • Consumer Staples

Consensus doesn’t mean wrong — but the stronger the consensus, the more easily it can be disrupted.
