This week's Commitment of Traders Oscillator reading is +20

The oscillator has now turned up this week, having spent only one week below zero and in the "buy zone". This rise above the zero line confirms a short term low in the market during the week before last (cyan/light blue dot). We have now re-entered the "look for short trades" zone. Given the large net short position held by professionals, a  more substantial break to the down side looks ever more likely.
