    Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote,

    "For the new week...  While a big bulk of earnings is coming in this week, the market will likely have its attention on Europe.  Nearest resistance for SPX is 1250.  On the other hand, if Nasdaq breaks above 2650, it could break out.  Financials could once again be the key.  Industrials are strengthening.  Metals and mining could be very important next week..."
