US Dollar Index positioning leans bearish - commercials selling (26w index 20), speculators crowded long (3y index 86).
How this read is built
- Commercials (hedgers) are net short and sit near the bottom of their 26-week range (COT index 20) - a bearish tilt in the traditional read.
- Large speculators are net long near the top of their 3-year range (index 86) - a crowded long, which historically leans bearish for the setup.

Reporting gap: the CFTC published no data for this contract code between and (about 22 weeks) - typically an exchange migration or relisting, when the contract traded under a different code. The chart breaks across the gap rather than drawing a line through it, and the series resumes afterward. Why this happens.
