US software stocks are showing extreme positioning right now. The sector just wrapped up as the most net sold in 4 out of the past 5 sessions, with aggregate net exposure and long/short ratios hitting record lows. When institutional positioning gets this extended in one direction, it historically tends to attract the opposite move. The setup looks intriguing for contrarian traders keeping tabs on this sector—could be worth monitoring as we see if this capitulation eventually triggers a reversal.

Bro, this wave of sell-offs is pretty intense. Is it time to buy the dip?

The software stocks in the US market are getting hit really hard this time, with institutions collectively cutting losses... Are we going to buy the dip now? It feels like the atmosphere is tense.

The selling pressure on software stocks is really intense this time, it feels like institutions are all selling... By the way, how likely is it for such an extreme positioning reversal to happen? Has it really always turned around in history, or is this time different?

Software stocks are getting hammered this hard, it feels like they're digging a hole for the guys doing reverse trading.

Oh no, the software stocks have been hammered too hard this time. With institutions already out, can it go even lower? Those who are shorting the dip should be excited.
