Schad Commodity (Est. 1997) Weekly “Commitment of Traders” Analysis: An Insider's View of the Next Big Market Move · July 17th, 2026 · Alternative Investment · Agricultural Commodity Futures · Bitcoin Crypto Currency Futures · Commodity Futures Trading · Global Markets · Hard Asset Investments Once each week, usually on Friday evenings, we’ll update our personal weekly commodity trading charts and review them for changes in “net long” or, “net short” holdings between the big commercial commodity traders, large speculators, and the usually uninformed public. This “commitment of traders analysis” is our professional outlook for “the bigger picture” and current dynamics for each market which provide a spyglass view of the BIG commercial traders and what they are currently doing to influence the crypto and futures markets. As you may already know, insider trading with stocks on Wall Street is very illegal. However, in the commodity & crypto trading industry, large/commercial traders MUST report their positions EACH WEEK to the CFTC regulatory body, hence, we monitor them on a weekly basis. Although the crypto & futures markets themselves will ultimately provide the most accurate illustration of trend, these (weekly) market’s charts we've identified, serve to forewarn us of the next possible bigger move. Here are the commodity & crypto markets which illustrate their forthcoming changing picture…the ones to be watching more closely to consider taking a position in next week, according to the latest Commitment of Traders report. The trends really do start, end, or continue here: Current UP Trending Futures Markets: US Dollar Index, and E-mini S&P 500 Index Current DOWN Trending Futures Markets: Live Cattle *expect extension of current trend Markets are removed from this list only if the buy/sell/trend acceleration set-up has been fulfilled, or is no longer valid.
