Contextual Analysis
NOTE: I'm away from the desk for the next few days, so the daily plans will be provided in a condensed, commentary-free format. Regular, detailed plans will resume on Wednesday, February 22nd.
Daily is one time framing down as the 5-day balance was breached to the downside. On Friday, the session opened with a true gap down that remained unfilled. The current short-term control is in favor of the sellers as long as the gap remains unfilled. It's worth noting the unfinished business at both ends of Friday's profile.
Going into tomorrow's session, I will observe 4090.
Holding above 4090 would target 4097 / 4109 / 4125 / 4135
Break and hold below 4090 would target 4071 / 4055 / 4040
Additionally, pay attention to the following VIX levels: 21.05 and 19.00. These levels can provide confirmation of strength or weakness.
Break and hold above 4135 with VIX below 19.00 would confirm strength.
Break and hold below 4040 with VIX above 21.05 would confirm weakness.
Overall, it's important to exercise caution when trading outside of the highlighted yellow levels. A non-cooperative VIX may suggest possible reversals i.e trade setups.

So this creates a lot of interest in that area and a move away from it (in either direction) is likely
