Yep, I gave my subs a heads-up over the weekend:

 

This next week will be a very politically-charged week in the US, with seemingly a challenge coming from both houses over the legitimacy of the electors, AND I have a possible #Hurst nominal 20-week peak inflection date on or about 01.07.21, so we could see some volatility increasing with a strong move one way or the other... watching.

One thing I can't resist though is to sell the Jan. 3500 put now up to $20!  Little overdone here so we'll see!

The question is more why didn't the market start a normal retrace down 12/7 as it should have according to MACD negative crossovers that started then? In a have your cake and eat it too scenario big players would want to sell while it held up and before they would get the Biden cap gains pain. Now it can go down that they are out.

I don't think that Mr. Market's concerns regarding this political issue will be resolved before the Congress certification of the electoral votes on Jan 6th and it's entirely possible that it may get worse by then.......................

This is none other than pre-planned institutional tax deferred selling. There is no other reason.
