TRADEHIVE INSTITUTIONAL COT REPORT
NASDAQ-100 E-MINI (NQ)
Week Ending June 30, 2026
September Contract – Week 2
Open Interest: 278,558
Weekly Change:+13,475
SUMMARY
This is the second clean September contract report and provides our first opportunity to evaluate genuine institutional positioning following the completion of rollover.
The overall message is mixed but constructive.
Dealer positioning improved dramatically for the second consecutive week, transitioning from a heavily defensive posture toward nearly neutral positioning. At the same time, institutional investors modestly increased their net long exposure.
The primary concern remains the leveraged funds. Hedge funds aggressively added to short exposure while simultaneously reducing long exposure, pushing their net short position to the most bearish level of the current September contract cycle.
Despite hedge fund selling, dealers continue to absorb inventory while institutions remain firmly net long. At this point, the report reflects a market characterized by institutional sponsorship versus speculative pessimism. Full Report
