seymour_greenz • August 7th 2015 09:26:21 AM

Good Morning,

NASDAQ Futures are down 5 with -4 Fair Value, Dow Futures are down 17. Futures were green earlier and have drifted lower through the morning ahead of the July jobs data. Nvidia (NVDA) reported an upside surprise yesterday and is up a hearty 9% this morning. Zynga (ZNGA) also reported yesterday and is up 4%.

There's no disputing that this week was a terrible continuation for AAPL. Peaking at the open on Monday at mid-122 and sliding a full 10 points to 112 just 2 days later. Yesterday, AAPL opened up and peaked near 116.5 at 9:32am, immediately selling off and hit 114.19 by 11:14am, a mere 2 hours later. By 2:30pm there was some recovery back to 115.73, and then a pullback towards 115 for the remainder of the day. AAPL closed the intra-day session at 115.13.

This morning in pre-market, AAPL opened up nearly flat at 115. By 5:06am AAPL peaked at 115.28 on low volume. Since, AAPL has drifted lower to 114.74 at 8:10am on moderate volume. As the open approaches AAPL has been recovering back to 115 and is currently down 34 cents at 114.79.

Classic max-pain is lower than yesterday, now 118. Today is OPEX.
