VIX Positive Gap Puts Range In Play
Index Opening Gap
VIX Trading Desk Read
VIX (CBOE Volatility Index) opened with a measurable gap of 2.17%. The first read is whether that gap becomes accepted by intraday price action or fades back toward the prior close.
VIX is near 16.64, with the session open at 17.42, previous close near 17.05, and the active daily change at -2.40%. A stronger investor-grade setup needs the M15 chart to agree with the daily structure, while the weekly chart defines whether the move is only a session adjustment or a broader allocation signal.

Investor bias: treat the signal as confirmed only if the intraday candle structure supports the direction and the daily close does not reject it. Failed follow-through after a large gap is often more important than the gap itself.
