Just got COT report as of 5/8/2018 for institutions activities . I see institutions added 5,590 lots longs and also added 5,653 lots shorts. when price moved from 1.2031 high on 5/2 to 1.1838 low on 5/8. Closed at 1.1863. So despite almost 200 pips fall, the institutions didn't change much in their net long positions. Long being added indicates we might see the temporary bottom, shorts being added indicates more for downside. We did see it went down further to 1.1822 after the report. But shorts covering will help with their longs.

How Institutions Position Themselves In Euro/Usd This Week

Until Tuesday, institutions continued to cut their Euro bullish bets to 19 weeks low, which was shown in the latest COT as of Tuesday, May 8, 2018.

The institutions net long Euro positions decreased last week by 63 contracts to 120,505 contracts.

5,590 long positions were added, and 5,653 short positions were added as well . Now Longs total 226,601 contracts vs shorts total 106,096 contracts .

68% long exposure vs 32% short exposure, which 1% decreased in longs and 1% increased in shorts from previous week

This week Euro started at 1.1991 on 5/2, continued lower to 1.1838 on 5/8, closed at 1.1863 on 5/8/2018

Longs being added indicates we might see the temporary bottom at $1.183s; Shorts being added indicates we might see more for downside

We did see it went down further to 1.1822 after the COT report, then Euro rallied last Thursday and Friday. Shorts covering might help with their longs.

Long Term Bullish With Some Concerns About Institutions Unwinding Their Longs, Short Term Likely Point To Higher

Please note institutions take weeks and months to build a position in the currency market. For Euro, they have built their net long positions since 5/9/2017.
Therefore, the bullish sentiment is more for long term outlook, not intended for short term trading.
