Speculative sentiment toward the Nasdaq 100 has turned markedly less bearish, according to the latest Commitments of Traders (CFTC) data for the United States. Net speculative positions in Nasdaq 100 futures have risen from -14.9K contracts to -1.3K, signaling a substantial reduction in overall short exposure.

The shift, updated as of 12 June 2026, suggests that traders who had previously been positioned aggressively against the tech-heavy index are scaling back their pessimism. While the market remains marginally net short, the move toward a more neutral stance may indicate easing concerns over the near-term outlook for major U.S. growth and technology stocks, as investors reassess downside risks and the potential for renewed momentum in the sector.
