The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, ended above 13.
Among key S&P sectors, health care led the laggards, while telecoms climbed.
"Those that are looking for a pullback that lasts for more than a couple of hours should be patient and wait for a break of short-term trend line support on the S&P which is currently at 1,728," wrote Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus. "A clear break there also takes the S&P below the just pierced 1,730 level."
