Large specs are the trend-following reportables; commercials hedge a physical exposure and are the near-mirror counterparty. The area carries the speculative net (green long, oxblood short), a positioning sign the desk reads as sentiment, not a P&L one. Percentile is the latest net within its 52-week range.
Where the big specs are stretched.
Every contract on one axis: the large-spec net position as a 52-week percentile, 50 the one-year median. Past 80 or under 20 the specs are crowded, the setups that mean-revert hardest. The hollow ring is where commercials sit, usually the mirror.
