SPX today got pushed back right at those positive gamma zones we flagged earlier—the 6885-6890 range tied to today's expiration cycle. Price action played out exactly how the morning data suggested it would.

QQQ showed the same pattern. When you stack the exported gamma exposure levels against actual price movement, the correlation is pretty clean. These near-term expiration gamma walls tend to act like magnets in reverse—price approaches, gets repelled, at least temporarily.

What makes this setup interesting: both indices hit resistance at nearly identical times relative to their respective gamma thresholds. Not random. The options flow is clearly influencing spot behavior as dealers hedge their exposure heading into the close.
