A major expiration for me as well as the market in general.
A lot of old long hedges rolled off today along with many #DoubleDip and #TripleDip call and put writes against those positions.
Virtually all the longs were paid for within 5 days of their purchase because they were part of diagonal positions with the short side expiring within a week. That left them long for future re-writes.
