In my post on December 9th, 2011, I outlined a hypothetical scenario whereby if the Dow 30 played out over the next three days like it did on the 9th (it gained 200 points that day), we'd see the Dow reach 12800 by the close on December 14th for a "touchdown." Needless to say, it didn't work out within that time period; however, with today's close at 12720.48, that game plan is now within reach, provided it can push above a minor resistance level of 12754, as shown on the Daily chart below. The Dow has gained nearly 1000 points since the December 2011 lows. Near-term support is at 12600.

How long the bulls can put a constant bid underneath this market is anyone's guess. There's no doubt we are overbought beyond measure, but that seems to hold little value these days. With that said, I've provided a balanced assortment of long and short setups. What's interesting, is that both long setups revolves around oil, while one of the short setups below is for USO. Go figure.
