Besides many other economic indicators we can use, a quick one to judge the market sentiment is the Commitment of Traders Report (COT), to check the Net Positioning differentials of Leverage Money Funds (ex, Hedge Funds) on a specific FX pair.

By calculating the difference net-positioning between both currencies, we can see that a flip to the downside occurred last month (June), and has been growing ever since in favor of the USD vs. the EUR which helps add conviction to our bias.
