COT Reports / Currencies

Currencies
The COT Report for Currencies shows the positioning of major market participants (banks, funds, producers). Extreme positioning can indicate potential market trend reversals.

Understand how big banks, hedge funds, and commercials are positioning themselves in Currencies. Analyze institutional money flows to identify historical extremes and gain a deeper understanding of underlying market dynamics.

How to Read Currency Data

Base Currency Dynamics: Most major currency futures tracked in the COT report are traded directly against the US Dollar (e.g., EUR/USD). This means a net-long position in a currency is inherently bullish for that currency and bearish for the US Dollar.

Long-Term Cycles: Currencies tend to trend for very long periods. The most powerful and reliable entry signals occur when long-standing, historically extreme net positions finally begin to unwind, signaling a macro shift.

Australian Dollar (A6)

A6

Australian Dollar futures track the AUD/USD rate. Often considered a 'commodity currency', its value broadly reflects global trade and resource demand.

Euro FX (E6)

E6

Japanese Yen (J6)

Mexican Peso (M6)
