Welcome back traders! We’re diving straight into this week’s Commitment of Traders (COT) data, where sentiment shifts continue to reveal solid opportunities across major currencies.
CAD – Canadian Dollar
- Speculators: Net short -108,976 (Long positions Decreased by -3,813; shorts increased slightly by 148)
- Commercials: Net long 115,358
- % Long Ratio: 11.67%
CAD is over sold territory, there is a good case for CAD strength.
CHF – Swiss Franc
- Speculators: Net short -25,888 (Increased Longs by 1,742, shorts Increased by 652)
- Commercials: Net long 32,459
- % Long Ratio: 19.68%
CHF positioning is still over sold.
GBP – British Pound
- Speculators: Net short -31,353 (Decreased longs 61, Increased shorts by 1,848)
- Commercials: Net long 31,804
- % Long Ratio: 41.06%
GBP positioning remains neutral this week, offering little clarity. With no clear signals emerging, I’m setting aside GBP for now in my trading decisions based on COT data.
JPY – Japanese Yen
- Speculators: Net long 73,258 ( increased longs by 4,009, Increase in the shorts by 15,235)
- Commercials: Net short -76,256
- % Long Ratio: 63.26%
JPY in the neutral territory won’t make any decisions based on the COT data.
EUR – Euro
- Speculators: Net long 119,592 (Decrease longs by -2,726 and shorts Increased by 721)
- Commercials: Net short -173,206
- % Long Ratio: 65.62%
EUR data this week remains balanced and inconclusive. With no clear directional edge from this week’s data, I’ll avoid using EUR positioning for immediate trade decisions.
NZD – New Zealand Dollar
- Speculators: Net short -6,474 (Increased Long positions by 319; shorts Increased by 688)
- Commercials: Net long 8,096
- % Long Ratio: 42.18%
NZD is another currency with neutral signals this week. Due to unclear sentiment shifts, I’ll remain neutral on NZD trades based solely on this week’s COT data.
AUD – Australian Dollar
- Speculators: Net short -84,683 (Increased longs by 977 Decreased short positions by -16,930)
- Commercials: Net long 79,114
- % Long Ratio: 20.89%
AUD is oversold, this means there is ample room for bullish momentum if sentiment shifts positively. I’m keeping a close watch here.
Final Thoughts
This week’s data reinforces bullish scenarios for CAD, CHF, and AUD, each offering substantial upside potential. JPY, GBP, EUR, and NZD provide no immediate clear trade setups this week..
