Just to be on the subject with last MP webinar, this is my tought about your Poll. Since the area 1250 was last hit (beginning Jan 2012) there have been several Naked POCs and Gaps, the market was not interested in fading them and seemed to continue its upward rally uptoday. I don't know how much higher we can go from here but I would be looking for signs of long exhaustions and short the market consequently, following, for example, Michael Jardine's studyies on Virgin Poc's Ensign Software - Studies: Price Histogram POC. It does not answer neither questions of your poll but I think it's an interesting insight.
Interesting link, here is another perspective but this time using the developing volume value area as turning points. This is from Rancho Dinero. I like it for the ES but for the 6E or other trending instruments, i am not sure it would work as well: Rancho Dinero | Trading for Value, Part One
Breadth has been consolidating since mid December, these are always tricky , hard to say if breadth is negatively diverging as we climb ever higher, or getting ready for another move up, either way it's a coiled spring and the move will be a head turner when things pick up again...one thing to keep an eye on is Transports $TRAN, doesn't seem to be playing along , and is the backbone of the economy ....
also a healthy market backs and fills, AAPl has gone parabolic $CompQ has like 50 point gaps
have to see what comes on the downside, if market doesn't want to go down and works off overbought , could continue - but seems more like hype to unload to late bulls at the moment IMO

I'm kind of surprise most or many people who polled think that 1250 would be hit first. But I doubt anyone would want to attempt shorting the market at this point.
Hint, when every "Business News" channel is telling you to be 100% in equities and have zero Ca$h , run for the hills, JMO
Though we could see intervention over the weekend ...

We are up into a supply zone. Looking for a pull back. Looking at larger time frame (wkly). But this is not a fresh level , we have tested this level for a second time. Since we have been in an up trend, could expect a pullback possibly to the 1250 level area, then continue up to next supply level which is up to the 1450 area. Based on looking at the weekly chart. Gotta keep watch the on "Greece " debacle.

Good points here. Price forecasting is usually a waste of time. The best thing to do is have a game plan for whatever the outcome may be. You could make a case for both directions although I don't see the numbers themselves being of any significant level to look out for. Either way, you can look at different things for potential outcomes.
I believe, looking at the big picture is helpful but it's important to remain open minded about which way the market is going. Don't ever say this market is too high or too low because it's going to do what it wants and doesn't care about opinions.
Looking at the weekly chart on the ES, you could say that we've technically broken out of the bearish trend line from the last swing high but haven't had a close above those levels yet (on a weekly basis). This could signal a trap for longs as they think the market is going to rip higher. I know a lot of funds have been selling into strength up here which means they're selling to the potential suckers (again). That's not to say a top is in of course but good to observe that.
There really isn't much above us volume wise and would be interesting to see what happens from here. Europe isn't solved by any means yet and Greece is acting like a sub-prime borrower dodging it's creditors which isn't a good sign. Then we have Spain, Portugal and Ireland still to worry about (PIGS) with a few other surprises in there I would imagine. Maybe they kick the can down the road more and the market continues to float higher but I'd be very cautious at these levels. If anything take some risk off and just wait and see what happens going forward.
