Sadly, instead of buying that damn-early-December-dip, consensus sold the DEC lows. If you didn’t catch that, here’s how market positioning looks from a non-commercial CFTC futures & options perspective: Nasdaq (mini) net LONG position remained right where it’s been for the last 2 weeks at only +8,263 contracts.
