Apple forecast.Apple seems to be in a serious correction after having lost the top position in the largest capitalised company. It will have to innovate a lot to keep pace with the new artificial intelligence companies that are threatening to take a big slice of the pie. In our Elliot wave count it would be in a wave 3 with a target above 168 dollars
Apple's Market Performance Amidst the Magnificent SevenThe renowned "Magnificent Seven," a collection of tech titans including Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla, has embarked on a diverse journey since the onset of the year. While certain members, notably Meta Platforms and Nvidia, have dazzled with stellar performances, others, like Apple, have faced a less triumphant trajectory, with its stock dipping nearly 5% year to date, positioning it as the second weakest link within the ensemble.
However, the recent downturn in Apple's shares prompts a closer examination rather than outright dismissal. Let's delve into why Apple remains a compelling prospect for long-term investors.
The decline in Apple's stock followed the disclosure of its financial results for the first quarter of 2024, concluding on December 30, 2023. Despite the tech giant's overall modest performance, particularly with net sales inching up by approximately 2% year over year to $119.6 billion, Apple's earnings per share showcased a robust 16% year-over-year surge to $2.18. Investor dissatisfaction primarily stemmed from the company's lackluster performance in a pivotal market - China.
Sales in China encountered a 13% year-over-year dip, amounting to $20.8 billion, constituting roughly 17.4% of Apple's revenue for Q1 2024. The downturn was attributed to reduced sales of iPhones and other devices. Nevertheless, this setback is perceived as transient, with smartphone sales encountering hurdles in China throughout the previous year, partially due to broader economic challenges affecting various companies, not exclusive to Apple. Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, emphasized Apple's continued dominance in China and other markets, citing data from a Kantar survey.
Analyzing Apple's first-quarter results reveals two optimistic facets, particularly concerning its performance in China. Firstly, the period encompassed 13 weeks compared to the previous fiscal year's parallel quarter, which spanned 14 weeks. Secondly, currency exchange rate fluctuations adversely impacted Apple's sales growth metrics in China.
While the economic slowdown in China may persist temporarily, Apple's long-term growth prospects remain robust. The company's resilience, coupled with the anticipation of an economic rebound, positions Apple favorably for sustained success over the extended horizon.
Apple's iPhone segment continues to spearhead revenue generation, witnessing a notable 6% increase to $69.7 billion in Q1 2024. Among Apple's diverse segments, only the services unit outpaced this revenue growth, boasting an 11.3% year-over-year upswing to $23.1 billion. With services contributing approximately 19% to Apple's overall revenue, this segment is increasingly pivotal for the company's trajectory.
Artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a significant frontier for Apple. While specific details remain undisclosed, Tim Cook hinted at forthcoming revelations regarding the company's continued investment in AI during the recent earnings conference call. Despite trailing behind industry giants like Microsoft and Alphabet in the AI realm, Apple's adeptness at redefining technologies underscores its potential to thrive in this domain.
Despite recent challenges in the Chinese market, particularly concerning smartphone sales, Apple's diversified growth avenues and robust financial position render it an attractive investment opportunity. Long-term investors are presented with an opportune moment to acquire Apple shares, considering its comparative underperformance vis-à-vis certain Magnificent Seven peers year to date. With its foray into AI, healthcare, fintech, and other sectors, Apple remains poised for sustained success in the foreseeable future.
Microsoft Bullish Cup and Handle Microsoft - NASDAQ:MSFT
A bullish monthly and weekly chart:
✅Monthly MACD Cross
✅ Long Term parallel channel intact
✅ Above 200 day & week MA
✅ Cup and Handle (with a high handle - Preferred)
✅ Good Risk: Reward Ratio at 7.6 (51%+ vs -7% loss)
⚠️ Stop loss levels on chart 🫡
A great set up. Those that are patient could wait for a potential pull back (arrow on chart) as we are reaching into overbought levels on the RSI on the weekly. It would not be unusual for Microsoft to pull back 5-8%. The R:R would be significantly improved if you waited and if it led to an entry from approx. $350 (after a 5-8% pull back), this would line up with the 200 DSMA also. However there are no guarantees of a pull back.
Those half as cautious could enter half a position here and see what happens and place another entry at $350.
All in all the $330 - 335 red box area on the chart is an absolute stop loss level. If this level is lost I would be out of the trade fast.
So you have options with this set up:
1) Entry here with a tight 7% stop.
2) Half a position here and half at approx. $350 with a stop at $335.
3) You wait for $350 and you place your stop at $330.
These all result in a similar loss of 5 - 7% in the event the trade fails. The upside potential is always 50%+. You can always cut early also at target one and take something at the 26% profit level.
It important you take full responsibility for your trade, position accordingly and be ok with the small 5-7% loss as it will likely happen, we are only leaning on the probability that maybe 60-70% of the time these trade set up provide us the return we want.
I have not really ventured into the earnings or dividends however they are both positive contributors to this trade as earnings have been excellent and dividends whilst minimal, are dividends at the end of the day. We are here for the trade and play a set up off the chart. The fundamental's are just nice framing for the stock in our minds eye.

Apple Analysis: Key Paths AheadFor Apple, two scenarios remain feasible. We continue to believe that we may have witnessed the completion of a significant cycle and anticipate a further correction downwards, expected to range between $115 and $90. Theoretically, according to traditional analysis, this correction should ideally be between $115 and $92. This bearish grand scenario would become invalid if we breach the 138% level before completing the correction.
Shifting to our bullish scenario, it suggests that what we saw in 2021 wasn't Wave (5) but rather Wave (3), followed by a Wave (4) correction and an impending Wave 5. Whether this is fully feasible remains uncertain. It's not entirely dismissible, yet it's hard to fully endorse without reservations. Therefore, we're closely monitoring the overall market sentiment to decide whether to place our limit order on the bullish short-term scenario.
U - Unity + Apple Vision Pro, Can do the magic ?Unity got everyone’s attention when Apple announced its partnership with Unity to develop its VR glasses ‘Vision Pro’.
Apple is releasing ‘Vision Pro’ on Feb 2nd, and it’s not a coincidence this 3rd Wave aligning with its release date.
Started a starter position, but best entry would be around 30.
Stop loss - 24
Long Entry - around 30
Target #1 - 40
Target #2 - 55
Target #3 - 64, after a pullback to 50
LUNR Long Position! March 15th Exp. NASDAQ:LUNR has an insane amount of option activity going into this morning 2/27. After reviewing the 15m chart, and seeing all resistance and support levels being hit and broken, i believe as long as it can break the $6.95 marker, it has a chance to gapping up to the $9.50-$11 range before March 15th exp. contracts. Do what you want with this information and analysis.

Everything In Our FavorI am a previously successful trader who has been out of the game for a few years but I am getting back in to pay off some short term debt and I need to generate some extra income to pay off this high amount of short term debt. I am choosing options again because that is where I was successful before. I turned $2k into $20k 5 years ago and I believe I still got it! But enough about me, lets dissect each indicator I am using for this long call trade.
D Plus: Showing a green cloud beneath the most recent candles indicating bullish divergence. If you look further back at the last green arrow indicator it did indeed rise and we could be set up for another rise and the next buy signal could be moments away. These signals are so accurate that the creator charges a subscription for. Next!
Triple confirm: Shows several buy signals along with low RSI and lower trade volume. Trade volume could increase tomorrow with AAPL being under bought and speaking of RSI lets take a look at the true RSI indicator.
RSI: The RSI is 36.81 making AAPL extremely underbought. This could help us understand that the price will rise as more buyers will buy in bringing this level back up. Technically right now the price of Apple is a steal according to the RSI and buyers want their deals.
Divergence: Finally divergence, the divergence shows weakening bearish divergence and growing Bullish divergence. This is a sign that the bulls are regaining strength and could take over causing price to rise as buyers are buying Apple up at this price.
What are your thoughts? Would love to see them in the comments!
Good luck and happy trading!

AAPL Feb 18th UpdateNo change here, AAPL is on its way down into a H&S breakdown with an ideal target 163.35. That will be also a test of the downtrending support.
When tested we should see a multi-month rally into a larger H&S on daily level. The long-term outlook isn't bright for Apple. I dont want to be long AAPL if we wont above 205-210 next year
#AAPL Threatening to break uptrend since start of yearApple is looking rather precarious in my opinion. This will be the 4th touch of the upsloping trendling which has kept support intact and allowed Apple to gradually move higher since the beginning of 2023. We also seem to be morphing in the shape of a flat top triangle which are known notoriously to break down. Apple has also held above its 200dma (green ma) but now seems to be losing that as well. Should we see a convincing close below this $181 level, then there is a strong possibility that the stock could fall as low as $164 which is the target of the flat top triangle breaking down..
APPLE On The Rise! BUY!

NVIDIA 800 After earnings !NVIDIA’s recent earnings report has given investors several reasons to be optimistic about the company’s future. Here are some key takeaways:
Record Revenue Growth
NVIDIA reported a record revenue of $18.12 billion for the third quarter ended October 29, 20231. This is a significant increase of 206% from a year ago1. Such strong revenue growth is a positive sign and could potentially drive the stock price higher.
Data Center Revenue
The data center segment, which offers cloud and AI services, reached a record high of $14.51 billion in revenue in the third quarter1. This segment’s performance is crucial as it represents a significant portion of NVIDIA’s business. Continued growth in this area could further boost investor confidence.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Boom
NVIDIA is benefiting significantly from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom2. The demand for AI chips is surging, and NVIDIA, being a leading player in this space, stands to gain immensely. This trend is expected to continue, providing a solid growth trajectory for the company.
Analysts’ Expectations
Analysts expect NVIDIA’s revenue to more than triple from the same period a year ago2. They anticipate NVIDIA’s revenue could reach $20.38 billion for the final quarter of fiscal 20242. If NVIDIA meets or exceeds these expectations, it could result in a bullish sentiment among investors.
Custom Chip Unit Plans
Reports suggest that NVIDIA is planning to launch a new business unit focused on custom chips2. This move could help NVIDIA capture a piece of the growing custom chip market and reinforce its position as the world’s most valuable chip company amid the AI boom2.
In conclusion, NVIDIA’s strong financial performance, growth in its data center business, benefits from the AI boom, and strategic plans for expansion all contribute to a bullish outlook for the company post-earnings.
