This post is to alert bears to a danger on 10/16/2008. This is an option expiration week. The last few days offer max leverage in options that will expire in hours or a day.


The Ewave pattern is clearly a 3rd wave low in place as of the 10th. Most likely a wave 3 of 3 low as best my eyeballs can judge.
The 4th of 3 rally was the one day wonder and as of now the pattern suggests a lower low coming soon as the 5th of 3.
My read has been Monday October 21st as the most probable 5th of 3 low which would be a lower low than 10/10
The PPT is obviously astute in seeing the technical situation so it would not be a surprise if there was a Thursday PM rate cut JUST LIKE THE OCTOBER 1998 event.
For those who don't remember that option Thursday rate cut in 1998 it sent the Spoos contract into a 40 point mid day gap up. This caused an almost total massacre of the bear side in 1998 and may very well be the same sort of gap up we see if indeed there is another Thursday massacre.
 
Bulls make money bears make money pigs get eaten.  

Take care and bet wisely.
