During the past few weeks, we've noticed a gradual deterioration in this indicator. After a small bounce in October and November, commercial traders are again aggressively shorting Nasdaq 100 futures. Interesting comment from that article. A "gradual deterioration" in this indicator. That was my guess too. That is also part of my reason for believing that short interest has been heading higher since the mid November data. Commercials are probably trading based upon the market patterns since March 2000 (and that has been a great strategy). Sooner or later, it has to fail big time, imho....the odds get higher of this happening as overall short interest hits record after record almost every month. Just a hunch; looking for a short term rally with some help from short covering.
