By just about all accounts, I believe so. Here’s that chart that was posted on Friday highlighting what I refer to as the post-OpEx-ramp fades, where there has been a well documented & fairly consistent pattern of the market being ramped up during the week of options expiration & then selling off after OpEx.
Trading is all about identifying historical patterns in the stock market & positioning accordingly in order to profit from the expected outcome of those patterns. The post-OpEx ramp by itself may or may not be a reason to be short here, depending on how selective one is on the criteria needed to short this market, but it appears to me that the charts also confirm that a reversal in US equities is most likely in the early stages. The targets on that 15-minute chart from this post are near-term targets for a relatively brief pullback trade while TQQQ remains an active swing short trade with the potential for a considerably larger downside move. Best of luck if you decide to go short.
