It depends. Depends on what the commodity is or the futures market.

All contango or backwardation points to, is when a market is getting overdone. You need to figure out for yourself if a short-term event will play out to the future. Crude has had years where it was backward'd for ages as mentioned above.

But no doubt most of the times a heavily backward-dated curve is pointing to time to get bullish. Likewise contango is pointing to time to get bearish.
