AAPL had a rough Brexit hangover day yesterday, falling sharply but eventually showing signs of rebuilding and limiting losses to 1.46% on heavy volume. AAPL opened down 93.01 to high volume, instantly setting an intra-day high of 93.05 on high volume before getting knocked down hard to 92 on high volume. AAPL subsequently struggled in the 92-area into early afternoon before toppling down to an intra-day low of 91.50 at 3:24pm on moderate volume. Then, at 3:30pm AAPL shot up above 92 in a surge of rebuilding and ended the day down 1.36 at 92.04. AAPL dropped 2 more cents in after-hours.
This morning in pre-market, AAPL opened up strong in conjunction with Futures and gave a welcome return hug to the 93 line. While bouncing around 93, AAPL reached as high as 93.33 and is currently up 1.06 at 93.10 as we approach the open.
Classic max-pain is 95.
