FxStreet reminds that position signals are derived by comparing the latest "Net Long %" with the previous day's "Net Long %". If net long positions increase, the signal is "Net Long Expansion"; if net long positions shift from negative to positive, the signal is "Position Reversal to Net Long," and so on. In the table, "Net Long % (Latest)" refers to the current difference between long percentage and short percentage, while "Net Long % (Previous)" indicates the net long data from the last update (typically the previous trading day), for comparative purposes. A negative net long means long percentage short percentage. Based on comparisons between the latest net long % and the previous day’s net long %, a total of 13 position signals are generated, including "Net Long Expansion," "Net Long Contraction," "Net Short Unchanged," "Net Short Turns to Neutral," and others—only the relevant signals corresponding to actual data comparisons are displayed in the chart below. These position signals are for reference only and should not be used as trading advice. Current price movements may contradict the position indicators, and such contradictions may indicate potential opportunities. As subsequent price movements are influenced by complex factors, traders must make their own decisions.
