Nobody can predict a crash. Also, the dynamics I mentioned is
certainly much oversimplified and is thus plain wrong.
Normally a reversal would happen during
expiration week. However, when the markets approach it
"way out of whack", then a different self-reinforcing dynamics
quite often emerges.

It would be nice to know what the conditions are for the
emergence of such self-reinforcing crashing dynamics as opposed
to the tendency to rally, but I don't.

I just looked at max pain, and max pain for spy is SPX=1150.
