I agree.
We are trying to figure out symbolic or important dates.
These guys want to strike when an opportunity opens up for them.
The strike can come at any time and place.
I would not put a great deal of importance on symbolic dates.
They are watching and waiting for their shot.
IMHO, tomorrow is no more or less important than next week or the last week in October.
They will hit when they can.
Conclusion: Prepare as if the hit is imminent every day.
