Almost no difference now, however in "official" IQUATO pain at 37 vs 38. Given that puts outnumber calls at 37, I would guess that QQQ closes above 37 but less than 38.

I find it very interesting how the futures are dropping so much this morning. We seem to be above max pain on a lot of big caps csco(15), intc (32.5) and msft (60). As for Csco, are you interested in the puts for 17.5 march?

I doubt we would have gotten this reaction to the tech news if it had not been for expiration week. Pre-market and futures drops are very unusual today, imho.

Part of my thinking is that max pain won't work at all since we in a period of mutual fund inflows...I wonder if that is enough to make this an exception month.

Mish, looks like another hatched job from the big boys. They got the max pain number again and now we are going down hard. Could it be like February when the Delta Hedging kicked in and the market fell off a cliff? We will see.
