Apple’s stock price (AAPL) has been under pressure over the past couple of weeks.
And the decline appears to have unfolded in 5 waves down. That is negative from an Elliott wave perspective. Could this be a sign that a larger top is taking shape for AAPL?
Many Elliott wave practitioners have been discussing this non-stop in the last 24 hours. From my perspective, I see a near-term low initially into Monday/Tuesday around 144-146, so the downside from a short-term trading perspective looks minimal. However, these types of patterns typically give way to rallies which can retrace 50 to 62% of the prior decline before failing and giving way to additional weakness.
This pattern specifically gives me some confidence that a near-term cyclical low for the stock indices is approaching, but that rallies back to try to test highs will prove sellable into late September.
So how the coming retracement rally plays out will be telling… Put this setup on your radar.
