Ditto, but what suggests its a spread? Is it the exact same number of contracts? I am not well versed in these things.

Yes; the correlation suggests that someone bought the $17s and financed them by selling the $16s against it.

Karl's right the return matrix for this particular spread suggests inside information. Did the Fed announce they were targeting a specific DOW instead of interest rates yesterday while I was following the rogue former LAPD officer?

Excuse my ignorance but I trade futures. If I wanted to take a shot hoping this will amount to something would this be related to the Dow,SP,interest rate,or it looks like it trades in the Nasdaq. Also, would this really cause much of a move in futures market? Thanks...

How can you determine if it is a credit or a debit spread?

You can't be sure, but the risk:reward is all out of whack for a credit spread.

I guess it would be difficult to predict a type of move in the SP futures (im guessing)If this person predicted a sell off correctly. What else could this sell off drag along with it. Would the SP futures sell off 30 handles 70 handles? What if this guys is long and hedging using these options? There seems to be too many factors.

CNBC just said it is just a protection trade from someone who has made a bomb on this run up, makes sense no?

Pretty expensive protection trade.
What makes me think it's not a trade on a known all-on blowup is that it was financed with the short put sold against it. IF you expect an all-on crash you don't do that as you want ALL of the move, not just part of it.
