FX.co ★ Nasdaq 100 Speculative Net Longs Edge Lower, CFTC Data Shows

Speculators trimmed their net long exposure to the Nasdaq 100 futures market in the latest reporting period, according to CFTC data updated on 13 February 2026. Net speculative positions slipped to 13.4K contracts, down from 14.2K previously.

The modest decline suggests a slight cooling in bullish sentiment toward the U.S. tech-heavy index, though positioning remains in net long territory overall. Market participants will be watching upcoming macroeconomic data and corporate earnings closely to gauge whether this softening continues or stabilizes in the weeks ahead.
