==Concept and usage== The term "triple witching" refers to the extra volatility resulting from the [[Expiration (options)|expiration dates]] of the three financing instruments, and is based on the ''[[witching hour]]'' denoting the active time for [[witch]]es. It is used often and is considered industry [[jargon]], along with the synonym, ''Freaky Friday''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://hitandruncandlesticks.com/what-is-triple-witching/ |title=What is triple witching? |last1=Saddler |first1=Rick |date=June 25, 2014 |website=Hit & Run Candlesticks |publisher= |access-date=July 1, 2016 |quote=This daylong event, which is sometimes referred to as βFreaky Friday,β is an important day for short-term investors because the markets tend to be turbulent and unpredictable, shifting erratically as traders attempt to offset their orders before the closing bell rings.}}</ref>
