Pre-close view… Choppy seas into AAPL earnings.

Afternoon lows didn”t extend.

The slide to 2104.25 had reacted up to 2109.00. That range has persisted for 90 minutes. There remains room down to 2103.00 without yet signaling anything more substantial, although that”s more precarious now after the bias environment has lapsed.

Any durable trending should be underway through the 3:10-3:20 timing window. And that”s because two other timing windows already failed to extend down — the 2:30 bias environment exit and the 3:00 final hour entry.

It”s too late to trigger  short-squeeze. But back above 2107.50-2109.00 would still target the 2114.00 area. Meanwhile, still ranging around Friday morning”s 2106.00 low after 3:10-3:20 would make any later trending weak-handed and temporary.
