How this read is built
- Commercials (hedgers) are net short and sit near the top of their 26-week range (COT index 69) - a bullish tilt in the traditional read.
- Large speculators are net short near the bottom of their 3-year range (index 20) - a crowded short, which historically leans bullish for the setup.

Reporting gap: the CFTC published no data for this contract code between and (about 644 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.
