$SPY Pinning within the Options Market

AMEX:SPY   SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUST
As you can see, we are seeing what is called pinning, which is when contracts with highest open interest, with their respective strikes, tend to cause a security to gravitate towards those levels near expiration, with contracts on friday not having to be exercised or assigned until monday at 5:30 PM, I see a lot of volatility coming our way. Nikkei down nearly 4% this morning will definitely create pressure for the US Markets, which is being reflected in the futures market as we speak.
