COT Report Analysis


As you can see from the Data (Highlighted Box) you can see that this time also the investors are pulling money from the long contracts(-19345 this time , which is huge this time compared to previous change )  and adding positions in short contracts(+805) .

COT Report Analysis



In previous COT report we have seen the same sentiments and in Last week we have seen a down move (Approx.  62 Dollar down Move) and the idea of previous report comes true.

As we can see some cover up this time also but if we see the relative change in Short contracts then we can say that they are pulling the money but not adding much in short contracts this week .

From my view and from the price action the support area around 1872-1874 is the main level that we have to watch for , if gold able to breakdown this level then we can have more decline toward the price level of 1855 and I am not interested in buy side until 1920-24 is safe in upside.


COT report sentiment :Bearish to Sideways

 

COT Report Analysis 19 April 2022

In previous COT report the sentiments were bullish and gold almost tested the psychological barrier of 2000 (Monday High =1998, total 15 dollars move after the previous analysis), but  after reaching the price level of 1998 sellers aggressively pushed the gold and since that day we have seen sharp decline of price and currently it is trading near to main support (1927).

Now lets discuss the recent COT report data :

Cot report analysis April


If we look into this report (Highlighted under managed money ) we can see that this time Investors pulling money from Long contracts and also adding money into short contracts .

Also as discussed in telegram channel during live trading the Level 1927 is the major support that we have to watch closely .Breakdown of this level can push the price towards the psychological barrier of 1900.

COT report sentiment :Bearish

COT Report Analysis



And if you look closely under the managed money column , under Long contract you can see that this time also Investors are still adding money into Long Positions (16924 Contracts ).

Clearly this much addition in Long position shows the intention of investors in Gold , and we expect rise in price in next week also .As mentioned in the weekly analysis video 1980 is the main level that we have to watch , if gold is able to breakout 80-82 then we can have test towards 2000 this week.

COT report Sentiment :Bullish

COT Report Analysis April 2022




If we look under the managed
money column we can see that this time we have some increment in the net Long
positions (Highlighted 1,834) compared to previous COT report which indicates that bulls are again showing
interest at current price (1945).

And at the same time Sellers

COT Report Analysis March 2022

We have COT report for the last week with us and if you look over to the number of contract in managed money column (Highlighted in Yellow rectangle) you can see that this time also we can see that the number of long contract is decreasing (-6103) in long contract compared to previous COT report (Check previous COT below). Also we can see that big players are adding money in short contracts (+727).
This indicates a bearish sign for gold in terms of COT analysis.
COT Report Analysis March 2022

Also as you can see that currently gold is trading above the support zone (Rectangular area), so I think we can expect decline towards 1900 if gold breakdown this support area and if Hold this Level then we can have retest toward 1944 price Level (VPOC Level).

COT Report Analysis 22 March 2022

COT Report Analysis for gold

We have COT report for the last week with us and if you look
over to the number of contract in managed money column (Highlighted in Red) you
can see that this time also we can see that the number of long contract is
decreasing (-13006) in long contract compared to previous COT report.

Also the number of short contract is found to be decreased
so from the report we can see that Buyer and Sellers both seems to be confused
at the current price Level but if we talk about the overall sentiments then we
can say that this report generates bearish sentiments like the previous COT
report shared in post below.

As discussed in Weekly prediction video the Level of 1964-66
is major level to watch as we have seen rejection over this zone many time in
recent trading sessions, if gold Able to breakout above this then only we can
expect test toward the Next Resistance Zone (1974-75).

Currently gold is trading above the psychological Level and
support of 1950, so the zone at around 1948-50 is currently acting as support
so breakdown below this can generate bearish sentiments.

Open Interest Analysis | How to read it Properly ?

Open Interest Analysis | How to read it Properly  

When trading options, we can sometimes get confused within the wide variety of factors, which have an implication in the behaviour of an option such as “open interest”. For this reason, in this post I will analyze the characteristics and functions of this variable within the operation of this type of financial term. 


Investing in options; What is open interest? 

Open interest is the total number of open or pending options and/or contracts that exist at any given time. 

Open interest is commonly associated with the futures and options markets, where the number of existing contracts changes day by day. This differs from the stock market, where a company’s outstanding shares remain constant once the share issue is complete. 

If a buyer and a seller come together and initiate a new position of a contract, then the open interest will increase. If both a buyer and a seller abandon a single contract position in a transaction, the open interest decreases. If a buyer or seller passes on their current position to a new buyer or seller, then the open interest remains unchanged. 

  

Open interest is sometimes confused with trading volume, but the two terms refer to different measures. On a day when a trader who already owns 10 option contracts sells those 10 option contracts to a new trader entering the market, the transfer of contracts does not create any change in the open interest figure for that particular option. No new options contracts have been added to the market, because one trader is transferring his position to another. However, the sale of all 10 option contracts by the holder of the existing option to an option buyer increases the day’s trading volume figure by 10 contracts.

How to read COT Report for Gold

 

How to read COT Report for Gold and
Other Forex Pairs  

The Commitments of Traders (COT) reports can sometimes give
traders a good idea of ​​future significant movements in the market. The CFTC
requires large speculators and commercial traders or hedges to report their net
positions twice a month.

How to read COT Report for Gold



In general, the big speculator category represents fund
traders and professional traders who hold large positions. Commercial traders
also report their net positions to the CFTC. The number of “non-reportable”
positions is calculated by subtracting the number of large speculative and
trading positions from the total open interest. It is widely believed that this
group of traders are small speculators and hedgers who do not hold positions
large enough to report to the CFTC.

COT data for the chart can be found at
https://www.barchart.com/futures/commitment-of-traders .

 

How to read COT Report for Gold


COT data in the Gold chart | How to read COT Report

The results of the COT report can be used as a tool to give
traders a better understanding of the psychology of the marketplace, the net
position of the commercials in the market and the net position of the major
traders. Large traders (funds) are usually trend followers and will add or
liquidate their positions depending on the technical action of the market since
the report release date.

There are many different ways to analyze the reports, but we
believe that for the most part, the major traders’ net position and the
‘position change’ over a two-week period are the most important numbers to
watch. Remember that the small trader’s net position is typically subject to
either long liquidation or short coverage when the market begins to move
against them.

 

As a result, a classic bullish setup for a given market
would be when large traders are net long and small traders are net short. The
market is in a weakened bullish setup “when” the two-week trend of the large
trader’s position is bearish, or in other words, when the funds are about to
unwind their net long position. This is a warning flag. The larger the small
trader’s net short position (compared to history) and the extent to which small
traders hold a position “against” the trend are factors that will
contribute to the bullishness of the report.

How to read COT Report

There is a classic bearish market setup when large traders
are net short (bearish if they have increased position in the last two weeks)
and small traders are net long in the market (bearish if the net -Long position
is relatively large and the trend is decisively down). One exception we’ve
noticed lately is the ability of the small trader in T-Bonds to spot the right
direction in the market. It is also important that the futures and options COT
report (which will be released a day later) confirms the situation indicated by
the futures only report.

 

What does the COT report say? How to take
benefits from this report for Gold and other pairs

The report is published weekly on Friday evenings by the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission . The report breaks down the volume of
purchases and sales into three groups: commercial, non-commercial and
non-reporting deals.

The biggest power in the marketplace are the commercials.
These are the major users and producers of the commodity. They do not use the
commodity markets to speculate or make money directly from the markets. They
are the producers and users of the goods. So they sell forward or hedge their
production/demand. They use the markets to sell and supply, not speculate.

There are the non-reporters, probably people like you…
people who trade in smaller volumes; the average trader. Interestingly,
sometimes their record in certain markets is very good, but more often than not
they are wrong.

Every week we find out exactly what the big ones were up to
in the marketplace… but it’s not quite that simple.

The non-commercials are the second most important figure in
the report. These are not quite what you think. It’s not just big traders like
me.

How to use the COT data? or How to read COT report

If you study this much, you will come across something
called the COT Index or Commercials Index. Most followers of the Commitments of
Traders Reports now use this index…

 

How to read COT Report for Gold


Despite what you may have read from other traders (people
who have only been looking at the index for a few years), it is not a black and
white situation. Just because the commercials, the biggest players in the
market, have emerged as buyers doesn’t mean a market will recover. How can this
be true?

Long position and short position in Forex

 

Long position and short position in Forex

What are short and long positions?

One reason more
speculative investors are choosing to start trading Forex is that it
is possible to speculate that prices will go up as well as down. While a
classic investment is almost always only suitable for hoping for a positive
development of certain values, investors in forex trading can also benefit from
falling rates of the corresponding currency. In the following guide I would like to inform you how you can speculate on falling or rising prices and
what the so-called short and long positions are all about.

  7. Conclusion

Exchange rates can rise and fall

As you know, forex
trading works by speculating that one currency will rise or fall in value
against another. As a result, forex trading is always based on the value
ratio of two currency pairs to one another, the exchange rate. So if I take for example the euro and US dollar currency pair, the value of the dollar
against the euro can rise or fall at any time. The exchange rate, which
can “run” in one direction or the other, then changes
accordingly. For example, if you decide to speculate that the dollar will
rise, you are simultaneously assuming that the euro will decrease in value
against the dollar for the currency pair mentioned above.
