How to read COT positioning
Net positions
Long contracts minus short contracts. A positive balance is net long; a weekly increase can reflect added longs, fewer shorts, or both.
Participant groups
Financial futures show leveraged funds; commodities show managed money. Other reportables are a separate group, not the rest of the entire market.
Report context
Compare position size, weekly change, and open interest together. Crowded positioning describes exposure; it does not establish when price will reverse.
