About Dollar Positioning
The dollar is the wrecking ball of global finance. Extreme long positioning usually means the strong-dollar trade is overcrowded. This ties directly to our Liquidity Tracker — a strong dollar tightens global liquidity. When you see COT dollar positioning at extremes, cross-reference it with net liquidity. The two together tell a more complete story than either alone.
