How Use COT report to determine movement of Forex Crosses

I have a basic idea on how read the COT report and determine the probable movent of the majors. I would like to know how to use it when dealing with forex crosses

if you can use the COT report to determine which major currency will go up and which down why not combine them and see what does it mean for the crosses. If COT is telling you that Euro FX will go up while JPY down, what would that mean for the EURJPY?

Thanks for the reply the question is more pointing to the situation when both currency are weak against the usd. Lets say you have a sell on the eur and a sell on jpy. How will we determine the direction of eur/jpy in such cases. How will we determine which one is stronger verus the other when reading the numbers.

Without real example, it is just talking, but there might be a difference in the strength of COT setup in EUR and JPY. But have in mind that COT is exactly that - a setup tool and if you are trying to find the stronger/weaker you’ll need to use something else.

Also if both are with good COT setups why trade the cross pair? You can do that if one of them has the setup while the other doesn’t
