They have been selling it all day long and as we enter the last hour the markets are precariously perched on a thin ledge that can give away .... 2645 SPX is some way down there.

On the other hand, bulls can mount a comeback that can take it back to 2700.

If so margin debt will be the barrel over the water fall...along with the market.
Apple has broken a major support level. Maybe a helmet would be the right attire.

Too bad the reporting on margin debt is so late, delayed for a month and sometimes more.  One has to guess what going on in the interim.

 

My guess, the big boys are desperately trying to quietly get off margin.
