Barron's also notes that it is the Individual that is driving the market now (not a good sign), rather than Institutions. Bulls at II (Investors' Intelligence) have risen to a 4 to 1 ratio over Bears (see below), not seen since 1987- a year that will go down.....
Prominent in last week's Sentiment/Breadth data was the rise (monthly) in Margin Interest to new highs, at 513B. As reported earlier, if/when a crash comes, higher rates will cost more to borrow as panickers and AI machines could cause a cascade of Selling, like 1987..
That said, Breadth and momentum still seems strong on Trump's promises.
