Monday Follows Script – Now Eyes On 6200 Resistance Pin | SPX Analysis 01 Jul 2025

All-Time High Pause Expected As GEX Cluster Caps Moves

Ahoy there, Trader! ‍‍⚓️

It’s Phil…

Monday was interesting. It unfolded just as we laid out in the Fast Forward group call.

Now the big question is: will the rest of the week behave?

Here’s the setup we mapped out. Breakout target hit = bullish pause incoming. The 6200 GEX level is acting like a magnetic force field, capping movement and attracting price action like a gamma-loaded black hole.

At the same time, we’re nudging through fresh NATHs — and if the last two years have taught us anything, that’s a spot where markets tend to hesitate before truly punching through.

Now throw in the holiday conditions: 4th of July on Friday, meaning shortened hours, barbecue brain, and minimal liquidity.

Add in the usual end-of-month lull, quarter-end tape polish, and the fact that NFP drops Thursday this week instead of Friday…

…and you’ve got one glorious cocktail of not much happening.

SPX Market Briefing

This is one of those rare weeks where you can feel the compression building before it even begins. Monday was a carbon copy of the plan: breakout pause, reticence around 6200, and limited ambition to push higher.

That 6200 level is the dominant gamma pin this week. It’s where dealers likely want price to stall. And given it overlaps with a new all-time high zone, the odds of aggressive continuation are low unless something big hits the tape.

Let’s recap the pressures stacking up:

  • GEX Magnet: 6200 dominant level

  • NATH Stall Risk: common hesitation pattern near highs

  • Quarter-End Book Balancing: bean counters doing bean counter things

  • 4th of July Week: Friday closed, everyone distracted

  • NFP Thursday: major event dropped into low-volume week

If you swirl all that together, what do you get? A sideways drift. A quiet tape. A week made for selling premium and collecting theta while the rest of the market fires up the grill.

Key levels:

  • 6200 – resistance / GEX pin

  • 6160 – Monday midpoint and likely pivot

  • 6100-6120 – squeeze base and likely support

  • 6200 – breakout resumes only if cleared with volume

Game plan:
2-3 DTE neutral credit spreads. No chasing, no forecasting. Just collect, manage, and let everyone else overtrade into a holiday.

Rumour Has It…

Word on the street is that one firm’s quant desk renamed their straddle model “Project Firecracker” for the week.

Meanwhile, a hedge fund CIO was spotted launching bottle rockets from his Bloomberg keyboard after locking in 80% max profit on a neutral spread.

And rumor has it one trader got assigned on calls — and still made more money at the BBQ competition than in the market.

This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!
