Apple Today - 09/02/2015 (AAPL)
seymour_greenz September 2nd 2015 09:27:42 AMGood Morning,
2nd day of September looking a little better for now. NASDAQ Futures are up 45 with +62 Fair Value, Dow Futures are up 179 on "easing" of China fear. Oil is weak again. AMBA report yesterday failed to meet expectations and is currently down 10%. Though earnings season is pretty much wrapped up, OOMA reports after the bell. Productivity reported as up in spring. Google changes its logo.
Another extremely painful day yesterday with AAPL down over 5 points, or nearly -4.5%. AAPL opened down along with Futures, made an attempt at regaining 112 but topped out at 111.88 early on high volume. After hovering in the 111 area for a couple of hours AAPL slid down continuously on the familiar sawtooth bot pattern, bottoming at 107.36 before bouncing and ending the intra-day session at 107.72. After-hours saw a new low of 107.15 and recovery back up to 108.49 by session end.
This morning in pre-market, AAPL opened up higher at 4:02am at 109.99 on low volume, then dropped to a low of 108.82 at 6:56am on relatively high volume before bouncing back up to 109.99 again on more high volume. AAPL is currently up 2.38 at 110.1, near where AAPL opened yesterday.
Classic max-pain is now 111.
