Apple could touch the June low around 129 if the earnings season brings more bad news. A breach below $150 may send AAPL to $135 to $140, according to BTIG’s Jonathan Krinsky.
AAPL and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) are the only two Nasdaq 100 (NDX) weighted names remaining up over the last year. TSLA is “back under its 200 DMA, but has to breach 282 to violate the June uptrend,” Krinsky added.
