Above is part of 8/13/21 cftc.gov latest COT report.. The Difference in total longs and shorts (of both non commercial/commercials) equals 36,202 more short contacts. Contracts of EUR 125,000 (total) divided by 36,000 (more shorts) equals around 29% more of short contracts outstanding. This is why I believe that EURUSD dropped during the last COT report period of around 180 pips. Note: The COT keeps you on right side of trading with smart money.
Yes, using both commercial and non commercials are way to go for looking to where a particular market might go related to the COT report.
