This is one of the big four 'quad witch' weeks for US equities, and Goldman is bring out some IPO's including the CBOE. So as previously said, we'll look for shenanigans on light volumes as the trolley dodgers try to stay out of the way of intermittent headline risks and keep that perfect trading score going.
When frauds like the US financial markets become this obvious and blatant, it is frequently a sign that they are nearing the endgame, or perhaps more properly, an implosion. But never poke a cornered skunk, you have to smoke them out.

"Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
John 8:43-44
