Speculative positioning in the Nasdaq 100 futures market softened, with net long positions edging down to 9.4K from 10.8K, according to the latest Commitments of Traders data released by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on 24 April 2026.

The decline suggests a modest cooling in bullish sentiment toward U.S. tech-heavy equities, as traders pared back exposure compared with the previous reading. While the net position remains in positive territory—indicating that long positions still outnumber shorts—the pullback may reflect growing caution around valuations, earnings expectations, or the broader macroeconomic backdrop.

Market participants will be watching upcoming data releases and corporate results closely to gauge whether this shift marks the start of a broader repositioning in Nasdaq 100 futures, or simply a short-term adjustment after earlier optimism.
