Agree with you. Feels like expiration bs, but it's hard to be too confident when everybody thinks this way.
I've been selling, bought some QID. Still long, but more interested in shorting, at least for a trade.
Don't have a strong opinion. Maybe 800-870 trading range for a month, "short the breakout"? Again, not a terribly original plan.
I would be very interested in gold at lower levels, but right now it looks like a short.
