There are more 37 puts than calls. So, the goal today
is to close QQQQ between 37 and 38, but not at 37, and definitely not below 37. The DOW and SP should be weaker
than NAS.

The problem with Max Pain on ETFs is that options on them are just one factor - you really need to consider all the component stocks and the futures market.

However, I expect that in general that after a sharp rally the option expiration effect should push prices down as people cash in their appreciated calls and sellers' delta hedging is removed.
