Another solution would be to overshoot a bit to get that gap at 1346 on the options ramp, then head south. The NDX filled its gap at 971, but the COMP missed it by less than a point.

If you recall, the re-trace had a run from 1280-1310, and we shot an extra 20-points. We could just do a repeat and shoot another 20-points to 1348 COMP on the 1328 re-trace chart.

The launch point could be higher than 1251, but the fact that there are bear flags pointed to 1250 COMP or so leads me to believe we'll drop to at least 1264 and possibly 1250 COMP.

Max Pain is now at QQQ 25

ah, but NDX max pain is at 975...and at similar dollar values...that's about 24.3 equivalent?

Aj that is a very very shaky 25 if you look closely.
Enormous calls to puts at 25 and 26.
25 looks like a brick WALL.
Of course it looked like a brick wall last month (but we beat it) but not by much.

If it was not for that huge block of puts at 24, max pain could easily fall to 23.
