LDOS falls following earnings, DISCA gives back the lion's share of yesterday's earnings-related advance, and PYPL continues to roll off last week's all-time highs owing in part to another slide lower in bitcoin prices.Conversely, Nevada-based casino giant Wynn Resorts (WYNN 134.11, +7.36, +5.81%) sits near the top of the index; aiding today's advance in Macau casino names is news that the region has reportedly returned to quarantine-free travel from mainland China.
