At this point, share holders just leave, options players there is still some change long.
- Don't expect a new bull market that welcomes building new underlying positions at these levels, but at the same time be careful shorting yet either
- below is a summary of the possible scenarios to expect from here (if you don't like the "noise" in the chart I suggest picking a profession or hobby that doesn't deal with non-linear systems/stochastic processes)
((I'm wasting my time typing this out so no excuse to complain, boost this instead))

* Good chance of some explosive downside next week (through 2/22), possibly even a gap down Tuesday morning that the new will call the "start of a crash"
** As long as SPY does not make a sustained break below 482.89 this will present a buying opportunity for those of you that don't mind considerable risk but like money
Most likely scenario: dip to 492-495 and then run to test 502. Possible results based on that:
1) green arrow: breaks above 502 and runs to 506-516 (point target 510). That allows for 15-18 points upside, Buy the Mar 8 expiration 500 calls or Mar 15 505 calls when SPY hits 495 - not financial advice.
2) red arrow: rejected at or before 502 (sell half of your calls ITM and wait for rejection or break to decide on keeping remaining half). If rejected here and then makes a lower low look out below. Would possibly get a dead cat bounce and then its cashed for now.
