According to the government sources, the commercials changed their net future positions of various indexes as the following:

S&P 500Commercials4639845139-1259
RussCommercials4754477622
VIXCommercials11941774058


They increased their long positions in NASD slightly, but they were big buyers of VIX index, expecting volatility to increase.

Last week's volatile action is giving a marginally better look to the index charts as we head toward the Thanksgiving holiday but there are still no bottoming signals in place.
