The chart below is the SPY or the exchange traded fund that most closely tracks the S+P. It appears to be forming a triangle pattern with downside trend line support below and upside resistance above. The Blue horizontal line just shows where we started the 2011 year trading at. A breakout in either direction will produce a nice trending move, of course you know my bias coming into this, I believe the break will be to the upside barring any unforeseen macro events.
