6600ish on trannies may have been overly conservative....

I personally think, if you want a fearless forecast, the odds of timing a selling pressure low, could be between 9am-10am EST Friday morning for the futures quad witch expiration.  You might have to wait for a trading halt to expire in the cash session early on, but after that we should be good to go.  Good news can come out anytime to get things going, but pure historical mechanics of a Quad make this one a really bad set up due to the short amount of time we have been going down.  I do not know how insurance policies and annuity companies work to protect assets or guarantee zero loss or minimum 3% interest, but they probably use SPX put options way below the market, so you have to believe some of these puts are going to pay out in March.  Before Gamma became a popular buzz word in the market place, when we used to have fast drops around a monthly or quarterly expiration, we called it a Delta Hedge melt down in the futures, so that is what I am basing my opinion on.  Market will rally 20%+ by Monday or Tuesday next week if it were to play out.

By the way, I am also seeing some positive momentum in price developing in the US futures symbol for the Nikkei futures contract NKD.  To my knowledge, Globex does not halt this contract during the ES halts overnight, so the data for analysis is intact.

My only fear in holding these calls is not lower prices, hell, we’re how many thousand points lower now. My fear is they close the market’s altogether.
