2011 is here and with the $ES_F up nearly a percent it looks to be a nice gap up to start the year. I think the most widely watched technical level of the end of 2010 was the break of the 61.8% fib level on the monthly chart for the $SPY. Nice break, no question, and that level should initially act as support when tested. I see the first level of resistance being just above 130 from the prior highs back in mid 2008.
