What the numbers tell you

  1. Margin loan balance rising

    The amount individual investors have borrowed to buy stocks. A rapid increase is seen as a sign of overheating, and a sharp drop can trigger forced-liquidation selling.

  2. Short-selling share

    When short-selling value rises, demand for betting on declines has grown. Some of it, however, is for hedging and arbitrage.
