Huitong Finance reminds that positioning signals are derived by comparing “latest net longs %” with “net longs % from yesterday.” If net longs increase, the signal is “net longs expanded”; if net longs change from negative to positive, it is “position reversal to net longs,” and so on for inference. In the table, “latest net longs %” refers to the current net longs (long percentage minus short percentage), and “net longs % from yesterday” indicates the net longs data from the last update (typically updated on the previous trading day) for comparison. Net longs are negative—i.e., long percentage < short percentage. Net longs are positive—i.e., long percentage > short percentage. From the perspective of comparing the latest net longs % with yesterday’s net longs % (net longs % from the previous trading day), the interpreted “positioning signals” cover 13 types in total, including “net longs expanded,” “net longs decreased,” “net shorts unchanged,” and “net shorts shifting to long/short equilibrium.” Based on the comparison results with actual data, some of them are presented accordingly in the chart in this article; for details, see the chart in this article. This positioning signal is for reference only and does not constitute a basis for trading. The direction of current market prices may conflict with the direction indicated by the positions; such contradictions may imply some potential opportunities. Meanwhile, subsequent price movements are affected by various complex factors, so traders need to make their own decisions.
