Apple - daily reversal to be started (based on the article)

Apple chart by MT5

  • "Apple's stock is down about 9% since Wall Street went into "full panic mode." Ahead of Apple's earnings on Tuesday, John Archer added to his position reasoning that Apple will either surprise Wall Street to the upside or they will solve whatever problems they have within his investment horizon. Here's the best argument for an upside surprise from Apple on Tuesday."
  • "The panic started after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) lowered its revenue guidance for Q2 due to weak demand. TSMC did not blame Apple for its lowered guidance, but that is what Wall Street inferred especially after AMS, another major Apple supplier, said it expects sales for the current quarter to be down nearly 50 percent from last quarter."
  • "We will know on Tuesday whether iPhone volumes have declined enough to justify a drop of 9%. But, I suspect that Apple's iPhone volumes have dropped but their revenue and earnings will meet or exceed Wall Street's expectations. If I'm wrong, the 9% drop Apple's stock has already sustained combined with its relatively low valuation compared to other tech stocks will limit the impact from a bad report."

Apple - intra-day recovering (based on the article)


  • "Two weeks ago, Wall Street was in "Full Panic Mode" over Apple after companies that supply parts for the iPhone X reported weak demand. Apple dropped nearly 9% and Wall Street analysts warned that an Apple shortfall could trigger a broader stock market drop. Last week, in the midst of the panic, John Archer, one of my managers, bought more. After yesterday's earnings call, Apple is trading over $176, up almost 9% since Friday providing a master class in what it takes to be a great investor."
  • "At the top of the list of reasons for Apple's volatile stock price, I would put the barrage of articles quoting Wall Street analysts predicting a disastrous quarter. These analysts had come to their conclusion because companies in Apple's supply chain were reporting weak sales."
  • "Most analyst reports don't get much media coverage. But when it comes to stories about Apple, the media has a voracious appetite. When a negative Apple story can be sourced to multiple Wall Street analysts, you have the makings of a panic."

"Golden cross occurred when the 50-day simple moving average crossed above its 200-day simple moving average, indicating that higher prices lie ahead. As this pattern holds you are buying weakness to the 200-day simple moving averages. The 50-day is in blue on the charts and the 200-day is in green." - fromthis article.

 
AAPL to $210, blame profit taking.

Apple share weekly price by Metatrader 5

  • "Apple is the latest big tech stock to get smacked after reporting earnings. Shares of Apple plunged 7% in after-hours trading after the company beat on both the top and bottom line. The tech giant reported revenue of $62.9 billion and $2.91 per share in profit last quarter, beating expectations of $61.41 billion and $2.79, respectively."
  • "Apple also beat the so-called whisper number of $2.90 per share but the stock is down because the company lowered guidance for the busy Q4 holiday shopping season and cited soft demand from emerging markets."
  • "We are entering the busy Q4 holiday shopping season but the company lowered guidance and that hurt the stock. Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, said he is "seeing some macroeconomic weakness in some of the emerging markets," without specifying which ones. Tim Cook also emphasized that Apple was happy with its performance in China, where revenue grew 16 percent to $11.4 billion. That was the fifth consecutive quarter of growth where the company enjoyed double-digit growth in China."

FAANG Stocks - Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Alphabet’s Google (based on the article)

FAANG is an acronym, which stands for the first letters of the five companies Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Alphabet’s Google. These five companies have not only been some of the best-performing large-cap stocks over recent years (although Netflix only qualified as large-cap in 2013, when its capitalization consolidated above the $10 billion threshold), they have defined a zeitgeist, led a roaring bull market, and changed the way many of us live, at least in the world’s more economically developed countries.

Apple share price by Metatrader 5

  • "Apple has not responded to its last buy signal. There is a mid-December sell signal and an indication of a firmer low in mid-February. Relative strength hit a new low last week, a bearish development. All of the monthly buy signals in the last year have been successful. But I must point out that Apple, like the other FANG equities, have been in longer-term bull markets so this excellent percentage is not a surprise and is unlikely to be as high in the coming year."

Apple - should we be buying or selling (based on the article)

Apple share price chart by Metatrader 5

  • "Apple is still 10% off its Oct 2018 high, it's clearly lagging."
  • "For example, Apple was sharp, from October to the December low it is straight down, and from that bottom, straight up; like a perfect “V” (although the right side not having reached the top of the left side). This, to me, demonstrates panic; panic to get out, and then once at a low enough level, a panic to get in. Apple has been the darling, so both buyers and sellers panic. And while the seller side is not so great, the buyer panic (of missing out) is definitely a good sign. But, then again, with all that panic to get into Apple from the bottom, it couldn’t even make it to its old high."

Apple share weekly Ichimoku chart by Metatrader 5

  • "Apple’s rally ahead of earnings came after iPhone sales plunged about 17% year-over-year in Q2  and as some analysts worry about possible future softness in services, which includes the company’s App Store. Apple said its services business set an all-time record in Q2."
  • "AAPL arguably needs some sort of catalyst for the iPhone, and maybe sooner than next year. Last quarter, iPhone sales accounted for more than 53% of the company’s revenue, but they’ve been dropping as more customers keep their old phones longer, newer versions provide less advances over old ones, and competition dogs the business in China."
  • "When AAPL releases results, it is expected to report adjusted EPS of $2.10, from $2.34 in the prior-year quarter, on revenue of $53.4  billion, according to third-party consensus analyst estimates. That revenue would represent a 0.3% rise from a year ago."
