This table has its own message.

“Last Friday’s CFTC Report also showed the level of liquidation on the net commercial short position is in the neighborhood of other large liquidations (as a percent) and the current net short position is also at levels where previous liquidations ended. The 25-week liquidation period was also similar to a couple of other historical (26-week) observations. Compare the last line to all the previous above it. Prices must start to provide some positives if gold is bottoming.”
