Chartology - Are Stocks Stuck in a Range?

The S&P has rallied sharply since last Tuesday with bulls now driving the index above its 50-day.

Are we still stuck in a trading range - or are we gaining momentum higher?

Chris Verrone of Strategas says in this environment there are a few rules you should follow.

"Let's not overstay our welcome on the short side when support at 1100 has proven itself to be very good. And let's not be too bulled up on the long side when there's a lot of resistance around 1230."

Find out why 1230 is very important to watch.
