The latest three sessions brought the largest CTA retreat from Nasdaq-100 futures since March 2025, totaling nearly $3 billion.

CTAs are trend-following funds that use quantitative models to take futures positions across equities, bonds, commodities and currencies.

An earlier CTA positioning Z-score stood at +2.35 at August’s close and −0.80 one month later, a shift of more than three standard deviations.
