We've previously mentioned the long-term retracement rally that the market is having from the September 2007 highs to the March 2009 lows.  You can see the S&P 500 (SPX) Weekly Chart below with Fibonacci levels drawn from the High and Low retracement.

The market struggled a bit around the 38.2% retracement, but looks to have overcome that.  The obvious next target is a 50% retracement, which is 1121.  Keep an eye peeled as we approach that level.  The current rally looks to have easy upside to there, but that is a logical place for a pause and/or reversal lower.

Tuesday I learned that SPX %R was/is 100% on 3 time frames. You speak of nearing the 50% Fib level(1121). I got an SPY buy alert at the open. I don't trade during "amateur hour." Wed. close is 1069, 68 pts to go, a 5% move up.

Is this prospect a straddle or strangle possibility? I don't know, I'm too inexperienced to ascertain if these or some spread strategy may be a way to go.
