The read
How the numbers workThe 6-month COT Index is between 20 and 80: normal positioning. Trend mode: follow the direction of speculator flow. The score applies as normal.
Specs lean bullish, in the upper half of their 6 months range (75/100), and rising. This is the bullish trend zone. 6-month (75) is higher than 3-year (19): specs have bought a lot recently, but the position isn't extreme by longer history, so there may be room to run.
No meaningful 4-week move: the money isn't clearly going either way.
The net position rose mainly because speculators closed (bought back) short positions, not because new buyers arrived. Longs −4.2K, shorts −4.3K. Open interest fell too: positions are being closed. Bullish for the week, but weaker than fresh longs: bears leaving isn't the same as bulls arriving. No conviction point. It often happens early in a turn from a crowded short.
52 weeks shown. Drag to pan; charts move together.
Small move: +121 is under 5% of the 6-month range, so the label says little and it adds no conviction to the score. Quarterly expiry week: positions roll to the next contract, so open interest and the week's change can be distorted.
Largest gap first.
