2026.02.2020:30:00UTC+00Nasdaq 100 Bulls Step In: CFTC Data Shows Speculative Net Longs Jump to 24.4K

Speculative positioning in the Nasdaq 100 has strengthened notably, according to the latest Commitments of Traders data from the CFTC, updated on 20 February 2026. Net speculative positions in the Nasdaq 100 rose to 24.4K contracts, up from 13.4K previously.

The sharp increase in net longs suggests a clear tilt toward bullish sentiment among speculative traders, who appear to be positioning for further upside in the U.S. tech-heavy index. While the data do not explain the drivers behind the move, the shift in positioning highlights growing risk appetite in one of the most closely watched equity benchmarks in the United States.
