This was a negative gamma expiration event, I think. Imagine
a ball on top of a hill, that can get rolling in any
direction, and expiration tends to enhance the speed.
That's called negative gamma -g- When the ball is in the
bottom of the valley, that's positive gamma -g-
Since the ball could not get rolling on one side of the hill
(up), it rolled on the other side (down). -g- The selling
should be over by Monday. Who knows, maybe not, but its
another ballpark, and the natural options tendency would
be to get the ball rolling up after it went sharply down. -g-
Then again, since I'm a bear and there are no bears, then
we could just continue down after a bounce on Monday, who
knows. The market should get decent support at 50 DMA, then at
200.
