Offsides Macro Insights

Positioning gets us in — ahead of the upcoming narrative.

  • Offsides Macro is built to track positioning, pressure, and regime across global markets to identify when risk becomes one-sided and opportunity becomes asymmetric.
  • Why this Matters: Positioning pressure rarely stays contained within a single market. Flows across equity futures, rates, FX, and commodities propagate through assets — influencing index behavior, sector rotation, and volatility regimes — often before narratives catch up.

Core Philosophy

Fundamentals describe the state of an asset. Positioning describes the state of its holders. The first is usually efficiently priced. The second is not. That gap is where markets become fragile and where asymmetric opportunity is created when stress or new catalysts force positions to change.

How the Framework is Applied

Offsides Macro is a positioning-based framework derived from integrated futures and options positioning data across global markets, built to measure that gap. It tracks not just who holds risk, but how vulnerable those holders are to funding stress and how quickly flows can become self-reinforcing once price starts to move.

Offsides Macro is built to position within this asymmetry before price breaks.

Where This Has Worked

Equities: while the narrative post liberation-day was the “demise of the U.S.”, “Mag-7 concentration”, and the hysteria around “2 cuts vs 3”, positioning signaled a bottom in Equities.
Energy: Offsides Positioning signaled the move in crude and energy equities in Q4 ‘25 before the narrative formed in Q1.
Metals: even after outsized moves in 1H ‘25, Offsides positioning kept us long the debasement trade.
FX: despite the negative NAFTA and tariff narrative into election night, positioning reflected peak fear.
