Option Expiration

Please?click here?for a chart of S&P 500 ETF (SPY) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&P 500 (SPX).

Note the following:

• The chart shows that the stock market has dipped below the algo selling line.
• In addition to the breach of the algo selling level, algo selling is related to option expiration.
• $4 trillion worth of options are expiring tomorrow.?This is the biggest option expiration in two years.
• Tomorrow is also quadruple witching.?In quadruple witching, stock index futures, futures options, stock options, and single stock futures expire.
• So far, it appears that the volatility leading to the quadruple witching is contributing to the selloff.
• Noteworthy of today’s selloff is that the momo crowd is selling.??
• It appears that today is one of those rare occasions where momo gurus’ narratives to run up the stock market are failing.??
• Why are momo gurus’ narratives failing today??We wrote in the Morning Capsule:

Powell was very careful to make it difficult for momo gurus to twist his words.

• Please?click here?for an intraday chart of S&P 500 ETF SPY.?The chart shows consistent selling.
• Bulls will likely make an attempt to rally the stock market before the close.?The success or failure of the rally attempt will depend on the reaction of options market makers.
• The VUD indicator is the most sensitive measure of net supply demand in real-time. The orange represents net supply and the green represents net demand.
• The VUD indicator is mostly orange, indicating net supply of stocks.
• What happens next between now and close tomorrow will depend on how far market makers are in squaring their positions.??
