The triple (or quad)-witching during this novel crisis...

Indeed, that was the reason for my query. We haven't been in this particular situation in over a decade.

Fun times, or should we run?

Im thinking tomorrow ends cherry green green as the dang grass. Dump those puts, i might use the last of my cash balance on some calls. of course ive lost about 90% of the trades ive ever made so you should inverse me for guaranteed victory.

They sell whatever people are buying, which is more puts than calls right now

And then they would hedge those puts by selling short shares or selling calls. So if market rally, then they need to increase their long exposure -- positive feedback loop.
 
is that what that jump @ midnight was across the board?
Doubt it although Europe has expiry too. Last night was just an overdue bounce and there wasn't any additional bad news for once. Maybe some slightly good news about the anti malarials. There will be some whip sawing today

why midnight on the 20th though? Which exchange opens @ that time?
