    Trade Idea: AMZN

    In my opinion, AMZN is strong in premarket, potentially due to Whole Foods layoffs or rotation to compensate for AAPL weakness. Premarket high 105.5 can be used for a momentum breakout or pullback > 105. Expected move today +/-1.3. High open interest at 107 may act as resistance.
