JPY prices have been falling since start of Dec and accelerated from 20th Dec onwards.

There has been a slight retracement today, but who knows, it could decide to keep pushing higher although I'd love to see them all retrace at least 50% of the move though predictions can never be so sweet.

New COT report tomorrow, but its important to see what's happening on the USD Hedge funds are clearly getting rid of their USD, it doesn't mean downtrend is coming ..... ....but you should do like they do: Selling USD rallies {image}

Interesting comparison. Hedge funds also moving funds into Oil sector, they predict further rise in Oil (WTI).
Can we trust their move? What can you see on your side?

So I looked in to this website where COT is available also, takes time to digest all the reports available.

Thanks, J

Hello Jolita

A few things about Oil. Its not something you can trust 100% regarding the COT report, but here is my stake

Chart above represents the producers. Net long or net short
1 / First mistake : Whenever they are massively short, you could expect more downside....But instead they clear their short, and price rises nicely (highlighted with red arrows)
2 / The "right" thing to do for producers would be to accumulate long contracts when it dips right ? that's what they did highlighted by the blue rectangle
3 / Check what they are doing right now : They accumulate longs on top ? I wouldn't trust this move at all. Its clearly stupid to me, more long accumulation than the past few years.

Hi Kuroro,

Thank you for taking time to look into. Sorry for delay in my reply.
Interesting COT data you got there and no surprise data is confusing. Oil prices rose by 50%, producers are buying their own contracts which are no longer profitable, in fact they are taking huge losses due to a difference in price purchased and where the price is now.
When you think to buy a new contract at todays price is very risky, no one knows, price might drop back to 63, risk is large.
A few producers started to make decisions and has stopped purchasing these future contracts.
Overall sentiment for Oil was long this week, yet price moved both directions. USA is trying to reduce the price, Russia and UAE desperate to increase. Very mixed sentiment, not straight forward. Hedge Funds started buying Oil. All a bit mixed up.

Oil price is rising one hour, falling the next, there is political uncertainty, weather conditions, pandemic issues.
I was long bias, but changed too short.

Thanks for the view, I find it interesting. Speak soon

I would suggest to start clearing your MXN longs because it doesn't look beautiful for the future

First chart below represents the Assets managers, the short side. As you can see they are retreating off their big short as price rise. Big and quick retreat

Chart below represents the short side of the hedge funds. I don't tend to rely a lot of it as HF have a lot of different strategies. But their main strategy is to short the MXN for now, stay tuned

Last chart represents the long side of the dealers. They went from 20% to 0,5% long. What does it mean ? Longs are gone, follow the smart money

Hi Jolita,

COT is released once a week. The tool is most properly for time frame Weekly, for sentiment research to look for WHAT buy/sell. Lower time frame Daily/H4 depending WHERE you buy/sell.

Still I am learning it how to read COT report but I really am grateful to Kuroro001 because thanks to this subject I am not lossy finally.

I am faithful to the topic on this site.

Thank you

Sincerely
Kef
