The tail has been wagging the dog for a very long time.
I have been researching this aspect of the options and futures market for along time.
Many of my strategies factor in the weight of when the derivatives markets are controlling underlying prices. You can often take advantage of how markets are formed, and stop using those strategies when something macro is occurring.
I used to trade butterflies back in the early 2010s for this, the max pain concept is based around this as well.
Its only funny that Softbank is the perpetrator because it is so large and full of dumb money whose LP's are recipients of money supply expansion. Thats a new scale for the options market.
