JD's much higher opening print of $40.14 has turned out to be only a penny from the high for the session of $40.15. The ensuing decline found intraday support one penny under the top of Friday's range ($38.97) at $38.96.

So far, the rebound off that low has taken the stock back into the mid-$39.00 handle. It hasn't closed over $40.00 since Sept. 26, when it ended that session at $40.32.
