Bullish lean27/100

30-Day Fed Funds positioning leans bullish - commercials buying (26w index 64), speculators crowded short (3y index 14).

How this read is built
  • Commercials (hedgers) are net long and sit in the middle of their 26-week range (COT index 64) - a bullish tilt in the traditional read.
  • Large speculators are net short near the bottom of their 3-year range (index 14) - a crowded short, which historically leans bullish for the setup.
