Looking for a SPX close

Market looks strong today. I am still not buying until I get some kind of confirmation. The SPX still has its resistance holding around that 1014-1018 area. A close above that with a good pop in volume and I will start looking for long trades again. Otherwise if the SPX can't break through its resistance I am looking for support around 940-960. I would like to bet that there will be a breakout to the topside but all betting has done for me in the past is get me cro-barred.
