Price vs positioning (contracts)
Price on top, and what the big traders were holding underneath it.
Left axis: net position in contracts. Right axis: price (5Y note futures (front month)). Net position = long contracts minus short contracts. Above the zero line = net long.
Heads up: leveraged-fund shorts in Treasury futures are largely the hedge leg of the cash-futures basis trade, not a directional bet against bonds. Read the level as crowded leverage, and use asset managers for a directional read. Why this matters →
