Positioning in Euro

What happened

Speculators' net position in Euro futures is at the most bearish level of the past three years, as of 6 Oct 2026.

Why it matters

When positioning is this one-sided, there are fewer traders left to push the price further the same way, and a surprise can force a fast unwind.
