Changes can reflect trader reclassification as well as positions. This is one CME contract, futures only, not all exchanges, options, perpetual funding, trading volume or liquidations. History starts with the report week plotted at 2018-04-09; missing reports stay gaps with no daily interpolation, and the current snapshot may include corrections.

Calculation. Use the nonreportable short count from the official CFTC Traders in Financial Futures report for CME Bitcoin contract 133741, futures only. Each point is plotted at its report week's Monday; the exact report-as-of date stays in every observation. Reports normally describe Tuesday positions and are released Friday at 15:30 Eastern, with holiday and other exceptions; release instants are not inferred from that schedule. Every fetched vintage is retained, and no historical known-then availability is claimed. Any moving average is calculated over weekly observations.
