Still hard to say whether it's an uptrend day or not, unless breakout above the day high with a good looking bar in the next couple of bars. The pullback likely would be bought though.

Traders are borrowing historic amounts of money.
Before this past year, the highest level of margin debt Wall Street had ever seen was $668,940,000,000 in May 2018, according to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
By the height of the coronavirus pandemic, however, margin debt had plunged back down to $479,291,000,000 in March 2020.
As of February 2021, traders have borrowed a total of $813,680,000,000 to buy stocks.  [FINRA releases its margin debt data a month after the fact… so this is February debt]
https://investorplace.com/wp-content/up ... 421271.png

Here the red line shows the amount of margin debt traders are using. The blue line is the S&P.
https://investorplace.com/wp-content/up ... 410518.png

Some analysts suggest that if the market is making lower highs [it is not] as margin levels are topping out, that’s potentially a sign of trouble.
But if rising margin levels are coinciding with higher highs in the market [like now], that can be a sign of bullishness.

Over the weekend GS noted: "look at the tell equities [cyclicals vs defensives ] gave in advance of the bond move last year."
The symbol GS uses for their “cyclicals vs defensives” is probably proprietary, but I attempted to replicate it using the classic “Aggressive vs Defensive Ratio” which is XLY:XLP, but I substituted equal-weight RCD:XLP.
Bottom panel: Note that RCD:XLP did confirm every bond move UNTIL NOW……...…. FWIW

The very first test of EMA20 in 2+ hours likely would be bought but beware sometimes it means the uptrend of the day is near over.

Looking back at January and February, once SPX poked above her upper bolinger (cyan), her days were numbered
ps: 80% of gaps fill
