Apple (AAPL): Major Top Still In Play?

As you can see in the chart below we have a LOT of techniques pointing to very formidable resistance OR even a very formidable top in AAPL.

Here’s a list of technical considerations, in no particular order:

  • The ORANGE Elliott Wave count is still preferred.  It’s the count that’s worked for the past couple years.  Could this big ORANGE 5 extend –certainly.  However, let’s look at the form/proportion.

    • The Big Orange 4 depth is equal to the move higher from Big Orange 3.
  • Shown is the “as above / so below” basic price projection technique
  • A very harmonic 3 drive to a top (shown by the blue triangles) is present w/ the time component of each drive shown a the top right of the chart pattern (next to the big 5)
  • Bearish Divergence present on the monthly chart
