Why it matters for active traders: trend-following and CTA-style strategies can add momentum to moves already underway. When these flows turn defensive, they may intensify pullbacks in equity indices or support relative moves into lower-risk assets. For traders focused on a 2-20 day horizon, this is useful as a positioning and sentiment signal, not as a standalone market call.
