Historical AI commentary — 2026-07-07

This commentary is dated separately from the positioning table. It may describe an earlier market environment.

Cocoa positioning is at extreme levels with Swap Dealers at their 100th percentile long and Managed Money at their 0th percentile short, a setup that has historically preceded price reversals. The price has rallied 19% in the last month and 78% in three months, but this extreme positioning suggests the rally may be overextended and a pullback or consolidation could be imminent.
