The Breakout: But Will It Hold?

We've finally broken above the sideways channel that started way back in December on the 23rd.
Today is the first time we've exceeded the 1845 level in the mini S&P 500.
Great news.
But my gut tells me it just might be a trap. A pop above the resistance level is sometimes just a maneuver to suck traders into a long position, only to slam them with heavy selling. i have no technical reason to believe that -- it's just a hunch right now.
We will see.
For today we've had a nice clean run from last night's low around 1830 to almost 1847.
A good day.
