Speculative net positions in the Nasdaq 100 futures market continued to rise, underscoring sustained bullish sentiment toward U.S. technology and growth stocks. According to the latest data released on 21 November 2025, net speculative positions increased to 43.3K contracts, up from the previous level of 41.0K.
The uptick in net longs suggests that traders and investors remain confident in the Nasdaq 100’s outlook, adding to their exposure rather than taking profits or shifting to the short side. While the change is incremental, the move from 41.0K to 43.3K highlights a steady build-up in optimistic positioning toward the U.S. tech-heavy index.
