Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) May Retest $100
There is some hype around the next iPhone release, and there is no indication the phone will bomb but, as much as the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) fan boys talk it up, there is nothing new in the latest device.
In fact there is not much new at Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in general, a cheaper version of Apple TV, maybe another iWatch that no one cares about, so while we have this anticipation rally, the fundamentals still have $100 as a retest mark.
APPLE INC closed down -0.610 at 112.680. Volume was 96% below average (consolidating) and Bollinger Bands were 64% wider than normal.
