Next Friday's target based on open option interest would be
95 bucks based on latest OI figures (which I think are actually
Thursday's figures).

Here are the total payoffs:

Close @ 85 17,259,500
90 14,756,500
---> 95 14,377,500
100 14,865,500
105 16,980,500

Seeing as how closing 5 bucks off minimum payoff would only
cost about 3% more, I wouldn't use this as any sort of
indicator of what will happen.

All short term reason. Ask yourself this question. Is the government the only body that can come up with economic numbers? The ans. is no. The tone of the market did not change as much as it has only to be smashed again so soon. Meaning the powers to be in the investment industry all ready have a handle on the economy. Inflation's is dead, productivity gains have not even come close to being fully realized from the netizing of the economy.
