I was surprised to see that QQQQ in-the-money put options go for almost NO time premium; this seems to me as an ongoing situation, even for later months, including LEAPS for whatever reason.
QQQQ trend change? Instead of shorting...

Most of those leaps have such a huge bid/ask requires long time frame ;
but initial impression experience on like FEB,MAR ,JUN puts ATM,& 42 ITM have such good volume , can get excellant fills usually.
Looks like QQQQ,50 day moving average area will hold
,dont know how long it may hold;
thanks for interesting insight.

$42 support- resistance/strike still sems a key

You are right regarding the selling side, but on the buying side, you get that right

The spread between bid & ask concern can actually be reduced by waiting till there is a $.20 gap (i.e. re: options above $3.00 and $.10 increments), because then the real value is closer to the middle price; often, as soon as you stick your head in the middle for QQQQ your order goes through.
