AAAPL: Updated Outlook and Best Level to BUY/HOLD 70% gains________________________________________ Apple Outlook: July 2025–Q1 2026 After peaking near $200 in late May, Apple (AAPL) remains under correction territory despite pockets of resilience, closing July around $193. The current correction is projected to persist until Q1 2026, as global macro and policy headwinds weigh on the broader tech sector. Technicals suggest AAPL could find its cycle low between Q3 and Q4 2025, potentially setting the stage for a renewed bull run into late 2026. Pullback until 170/175 USD. 📉 Catalysts Shaping Apple’s Stock Price in 2025–26 1. AI Integration and Apple Intelligence Strength: 9/10 The roll-out of on-device Apple Intelligence features—including an upgraded Siri, ChatGPT integrations, and generative AI tools—continues to build anticipation for a major iPhone upgrade supercycle. Initial adoption has been strong, but broader impact will hinge on Q4 developer and enterprise feedback. 🤖 2. Services Segment Growth Strength: 8.5/10 Apple’s Services business (App Store, iCloud, Apple Music, AI-powered subscriptions) is projected to post double-digit growth into Q4 2025, with consensus revenue estimates at $25–27B for the quarter. Analysts see upside from new AI-driven service bundles, which could add $5–8B in annualized revenue by 2026. 💡 3. Gross Margin Expansion & Cost Efficiencies Strength: 8/10 Apple’s gross margin is forecast to improve by up to 60 basis points in Q4 2025 as the product mix tilts toward higher-margin services, and as component costs ease. Operational efficiencies from supply-chain automation may further cushion profit margins amid macro uncertainty. 📊 4. iPhone 17 Product Cycle Strength: 7.5/10 The iPhone 17 lineup—rumored to include advanced polymer batteries and potential foldable form factors—is expected to launch Q4 2025, giving Apple a competitive hardware edge versus Android rivals. Early channel checks point to pent-up demand, though upgrade rates may lag previous cycles due to consumer caution. 📱 5. Vision Pro & Hardware Diversification Strength: 7/10 Next-gen Vision Pro headsets and new AR/VR devices, boosted by Apple Intelligence, are expected to drive incremental growth in Q4 2025. However, high price points and limited mainstream adoption keep near-term impact contained. 🥽 6. Share Buybacks & Dividend Policy Strength: 7/10 Apple’s $110B share buyback authorization and steady dividend growth provide valuation support, but recent market volatility has prompted a more cautious pace of repurchases. Yield-seeking investors are watching closely for any pivot in capital return policy if macro pressures persist. 💵 7. Supply Chain & Trade Policy Risks Strength: 6.5/10 Escalating U.S.–China trade tensions—including the risk of expanded tariffs or tech export bans—remain a top concern. Apple is accelerating its assembly shift toward India and Vietnam to diversify risk, but any new policy shocks in Q4 could hit margins and unit volumes. 🌏 8. Regulatory & Antitrust Pressures Strength: 6/10 The EU’s Digital Markets Act and potential U.S. antitrust probes could force Apple to further open up its iOS ecosystem by year-end, potentially capping Services revenue growth and adding compliance costs. ⚖️ 9. Macro & Interest-Rate Environment Strength: 5/10 With the Fed signaling “higher for longer” rates through mid-2026, tech sector valuations remain under pressure. Analysts see this limiting multiple expansion even if EPS growth resumes in late 2025. 📈 10. Smartphone Market Competition Strength: 5/10 Aggressive pricing and innovation from Samsung and Chinese OEMs are intensifying competitive pressures, especially in emerging markets. Apple’s share gains are likely to slow until the macro environment improves and new hardware cycles fully materialize. 🥊 ________________________________________ Analyst Projections for Q4 2025: • Consensus Revenue: $108–112B (up ~4% YoY) • EPS Estimate: $2.30–$2.42 • Gross Margin: 45–46% • iPhone Unit Growth: 2–3% • Services Revenue: $25–27B Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan maintain “Overweight” ratings, but expect rangebound performance until macro and trade uncertainty clears. Most price targets for Q4 2025 hover between $195–$215, with upside potential post-correction into 2026. 📊 ________________________________________ Analyst / Firm Date Rating Price Target (USD) Barclays 06/24/2025 – 173 () Jefferies (E. Lee) 07/01/2025 Hold (Upgraded) 188.32 UBS (D. Vogt) 07/03/2025 – 210.00 J.P. Morgan (S. Chatterjee) 06/26/2025 Overweight 230.00 Morgan Stanley (E. Woodring) 03/12/2025 Overweight 252.00 Evercore ISI 01/31/2025 – 260.00 Redburn Partners 01/31/2025 – 230.00 D.A. Davidson (G. Luria) 05/02/2025 – 250.00 TradingView Consensus (avg) – Consensus 228.98 TipRanks Consensus (avg over 3mo) – Consensus 226.36

Time to buy? Too much negative press. Buy in Fear- Updated 7/7Apple has faced prolonged downward pressure from bearish investors. Despite its best efforts and some dips, the stock has steadily maintained a baseline price of 200 USD. The flag pattern required some adjustments along its path to break out, primarily due to geopolitical issues and economic variables. Ultimately, Apple broke out to the upside in the week of June 30th, as predicted in my earlier posts. This breakout resulted from end-of-Q2/H1 sell pressure, delivering a 7.56% gain or 15 USD. This is a very bullish sign for Apple, and with the tailwinds forming for September product releases, we can expect further gains as traders return and volume increases. If Apple follows its historical profit trajectory (see pink line), we could see a new all-time high (ATH) in the region of 270 USD in September. The green resistance and support levels are highlighted, and I may use these to adjust my position, considering whether to short or go long once confirmation is established on the daily timeframe. Apple has significantly underperformed compared to the other Magnificent 7 stocks, but I don’t believe it’s a company you should bet against in the current climate. With a slow rollout of AI and recent statements from Apple, they may not always be first to market, but they generally execute well. The remarks regarding Sony, Samsung, and Netflix by Apple were very revealing and demonstrate a solid long-term strategy. However, there may be some bumps along the way as they work toward their goals, potentially involving acquisitions. The fear spread in the media is similar to the FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) often associated with Bitcoin, and this is typically a good time to buy. Remember the saying: if retail investors miss the boat, it’s gone, but if institutions miss it, they often bring the boat back. While this is not financial advice, based on the green weekly candle, it's hard not to pay attention, and Apple may now have a very positive year ahead! Especially with the weakening dollar and reports stating that this will benefit them greatly. My large long position is still intact, and my target price will depend on how we manage supports and resistances. I am looking to take profits at over 260 USD.

Apple Stock Is Surging! Here’s What Most People MissWhen it comes to trading, we don’t care about the latest news headlines or whether some analyst has upgraded or downgraded Apple stock. We focus on one thing and one thing only: the undeniable forces of supply and demand imbalances on higher timeframes. Right now, Apple’s monthly chart is a textbook example of how waiting for a strong demand imbalance pays off. That $178 monthly level is no random number. It’s the exact origin of a massive bullish impulse that happened in June 2024 — the kind of move that only happens when smart money and big institutions step in, creating an imbalance that pushes the price away rapidly. 📈 It’s Not About Fundamentals. It’s About Imbalances. Most retail traders waste time chasing news, earnings, or rumours about iPhone sales. But if you think about it, all those factors are already priced in once a strong imbalance is formed. Institutions don’t wait for tomorrow’s news — they plan their positions weeks or months ahead, and those footprints are visible right on your chart. The $178 level indicates a significant drop in supply and a surge in demand large enough to propel Apple higher, marked by consecutive large bullish candlesticks. That’s our signal — nothing more, nothing less.

AAPL needs to break above 213 to start an upward moveAAPL needs to break above 213 to start an upward move From our previous analysis, the price increased by almost +8% from 200 to 216. The resistance zone, which was also our first target, stopped the price near 213.50, but again the bullish volume seems to be high and there is a good chance that AAPL will continue to rise further. A clear move above 212.5 should push AAPL higher to 224.50; 240 and 257. You may find more details in the chart! Thank you and Good Luck!

AAPL – Long Bias SetupWhy I’m Watching the Long Side: ✅ Clean Bounce from $190 Zone That \$190–195 level has held multiple times since April. Last two dips got scooped with solid demand = solid base forming. ✅ Break of Recent Lower Highs Stock finally pushed through prior resistance around $205–208. Structure shift. Possible start of a trend reversal. ✅ Buy Signal Triggered (Green "4") Chart printed a buy signal near lows with follow-through = momentum may be shifting. ✅ Holding Above Short-Term Moving Level Price is now holding above the short-term EMA (teal line), showing trend momentum flipping bullish. ✅ Vol Picking Up Volume on the green days has increased, signaling interest from bigger players. --- Trade Plan: • Entry Zone: \$208–211 • TP1: $220 (near previous supply) • TP2: $230 (gap fill zone) • TP3: $250 • SL: Just below $204 = exit --- ⚠️ Caution: Still under red resistance band ($220). Needs real strength to reclaim it. Watch how price reacts there – could stall or squeeze. 📅 Next earnings 3 weeks out. Could build up into it. --- 💬 Setup looks constructive. Playing the reversal with tight risk. Not chasing, just reacting. Trade your plan.

Light at the end of the Tunnel for AAPLI have been tracking this pattern that NASDAQ:AAPL started forming in April for some time now. This is a classic symmetrical triangle formation with significant consolidation in the last trading sessions. This patterns typically lead to a breakout in either direction, and since price is near the apex, a breakout is imminent within 1–3 trading sessions. Current Price: $201.60 (slightly above the key $201 support/resistance zone). Key Support: $198.62 (recent higher low). Major Support: $189.10 (multi-month low). Resistance Zone: $202.30 (pre-market), then $210.45 (EMA 200/50 convergence). EMA 50/200 Cross: Both EMAs are converging at ~$210.45, which has become a significant resistance ceiling. Typically, this is bearish when price is below both 50 and 200 EMA. However, the MACD and RSI indicators both support an imminent bullish move forming with an increase in volume. With headwinds from antitrust issues in the EU and U.S. I wont be surprised if this breaks out significantly upwards with some positive news acting as the catalyst. The conservative trader will place a straddle aiming for $210.45 (EMA resistance) upside and but $192–194 (prior demand zone) downside. The riskier and probably more rewarding bet would be to place a call aiming for the $218-$224 resistance zone after this breaks $202.30

How Sell Side Institutions Move Price: BuybacksThere are Buy Side Institutions, aka Dark Pools, and there are Sell Side Institutions, the Money Center Banks and Giant Financial Services companies. These two groups dominate the market activity and move price in entirely different ways and for entirely different reasons. Sell Side Institutions are short-term TRADERS. They are not allowed, nor do they wish, to hold stocks for the long term. The Sell Side trades stocks and has the most experienced, most talented, and most sophisticated floor traders in the world. Buy Side Dark Pools have floor traders as well but they are strictly long-term investment companies managing the 401ks, pension funds, ETF long-term investments on behalf of the Middle Class of America and, in some instances, other nations. Sell Side Institutions may buy a stock and hold for a few weeks or months but strictly for the short-term profits. The Sell Side are also the Banks of Record who do the BUYBACKS on behalf of the Corporation which has made the decision by the Corporation's Board of Directors to do a buyback program, which tend to last many months or longer. Corporations do not have stock traders on staff. So the Bank of Record does the actual buying of the shares of stock. The reasons for doing a Buyback: To lower the outstanding shares which can create some momentum runs during high buying demand from retail groups and other investors. Buybacks are intended to move price UPWARD in runs. The price range is established by the corporation. The runs are created by the Bank of Record. Buybacks also increase dividend yields for long term investors, including pension fund investors. NASDAQ:AAPL has a mega buyback that was approved in May but has just started now. Buybacks can be a great strategy for trading stocks this year as many corporations will be doing buybacks due to the reduction of their taxes and more benefits to corporations. Now is the time to start watching for buyback runs.

AAPL triangle breakout pattern (bullish bias in this case).📈 Chart Pattern Observed: This is a symmetrical triangle breakout pattern (bullish bias in this case). Price has broken out or is near breakout above the descending trendline. Ichimoku cloud thinning and flattening indicates potential bullish momentum building up. --- 🎯 Target Levels Based on Chart: 1. First Target Point: Price Level: Around $225.00 USD This is the initial breakout target, often calculated by measuring the widest part of the triangle and projecting upward from the breakout point. 2. Second (Final) Target Point: Price Level: Around $250.00 USD This is a more extended target if bullish momentum continues strongly and volume confirms the move. --- 🔍 Additional Notes: Current Price Zone: Around $202–$206 USD Stop-Loss Idea: Below the recent swing low or lower trendline, around $195–$197 USD Entry Idea: On confirmed breakout and retest, above $206.50–$208.00 USD Would you like help with a trade plan including entry/SL/TP levels based on risk-reward?

Apple UpdateThe way this pattern has been moving is very indicative of a B wave. It has been complex and very choppy. Needless to say, I have removed the lower target box from the chart and believe we should be headed to the upper larger target box from here. It appears, to my eyes, that price is within the micro-wave 3 of (c) of B. Once B completes, price should be headed to the $150-$110 area to complete minor wave C. This won't happen overnight but will take time. Be patient as these things can take a while.

Apple Is Climbing the Fibonacci Channel Ladder – Step 5 Ahead?On the monthly chart, Apple (AAPL) is steadily moving within a well-defined ascending Fibonacci channel, like climbing a ladder — step by step. The price is currently testing Step 4 , a zone that has acted as a strong resistance barrier. Despite the pressure here, the structure still appears bullish, and even a minor pullback might simply be a pause before the next move. If momentum picks up, we could soon see a breakout toward the next step — targeting 234 at Step 5. The trend remains technically intact unless the channel is broken, and the overall formation still leans toward continuation.

AAPL Options Sentiment (GEX) – Gamma Exposure Analysis* Gamma Wall / Call Resistance is forming between 213.55 – 216.23, aligning with major GEX levels (GEX7/8) and 2nd/3rd Call Walls. That area is a potential profit-taking zone or rejection spot for bulls if tested again. * High Volume Level (HVL) at 202.5 is marked with strong support (from the green tag), meaning sellers must break below that level with force for a bearish continuation. * Below that, we have layered PUT support walls at 200 and 195, reinforcing 198–202 as a major demand zone. * Current IVR: 27.6, IVx avg: 31.4 — fairly low, suggesting neutral-to-slightly-bearish premium pricing. * PUTs 3% weighted dominance also implies defensive positioning, but not aggressively bearish. 🔍 Options Insight:
If price stays under 213 and fails to reclaim 212.55–213.55 zone, the bias is toward a grind back toward 205–202.5.
Watch for volatility around July 11 expiration — if 202.5 fails, 200 strike puts may surge. 📈 Potential Options Trade Setup: * Bearish setup (if rejection confirmed below 213): * Entry: Near 212.5 * Target: 202.5 * PUT: July 12 or 19 $205P or $202.5P * Bullish recovery scenario: * Entry: Above 213.55 with strength * Target: 216+ * CALL: July 12 $215C for short-term squeeze play AAPL 1-Hour Chart – Price Action & Structure * Break of Structure (BOS) occurred above 212.55 but was not sustained. * Price is now pulling back from the mid-supply zone (purple box) and is attempting to hold above 209 support. * Trendline support broken, and now retesting from below — suggesting a weakening trend unless 213 is reclaimed quickly. * Major support at 199.26 aligns with a previous CHoCH zone, forming a clean demand zone. * Volume is fading slightly on this decline, but there’s no strong absorption yet. 🧠 Intraday Bias Suggestion:
If AAPL can't reclaim 212.5–213 on bounce, the market may pull toward the HVL zone (205–202.5).
However, if we get a reclaim of 213.5 with volume, the trendline flip becomes bullish again — target 215–216. Summary Recommendations * For Options Traders: * Favor PUT debit spreads or single directional PUTs if price stays below 212.5. * Avoid naked CALLs until a break above 213.5 confirms strength. * IV is low — good time to buy premium, not sell it. * For Stock Traders (Intraday or Swing): * Consider shorting pops into 213 with stop above 215. * Look for long entries near 202.5–200 with tight stops if structure holds. This analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Always do your own research and manage risk carefully.

Apple: More Room to RunWe still allow more room for Apple’s magenta wave (B) to extend upward before wave (C) takes over, pulling the stock toward the low of green wave . Thereafter, green wave should start (above $168) and initiate the next advance, lifting the stock toward resistance at $260.10. A break below $168, however, would activate our alternative scenario, in which blue wave alt.(IV) targets a deeper low (32% probability). 📈 Over 190 precise analyses, clear entry points, and defined Target Zones - that's what we do.

$AAPL Long Setup – Range Breakout Potential with Tight RiskApple ( NASDAQ:AAPL ) is finally showing signs of strength after a prolonged sideways range. Price is attempting to break above the Ichimoku Cloud on the daily chart while MACD is starting to curve upward—indicating a potential shift in momentum. After holding the $190–$200 zone as support for months, this move above $200 could trigger a short-term breakout toward the $220–$226 levels. The current setup has a clean structure with a 4.27 risk/reward ratio: Entry: $200.30 Stop: $195.07 (below recent range lows) Target: $222.61 (prior high + pivot cluster) If this move holds, it could mark the start of a trend reversal in Apple following months of chop. Solid setup for a 2–4 week swing trade or as part of a core position rebuild. Let me know if you're playing this one or waiting for confirmation above $208.

Apple in 2025: Why the Bulls Are Losing SteamApple’s stock has clearly lost its bullish momentum this year, and the chart you shared sums it up perfectly. Let’s break down what’s happening and why investors are shifting focus to companies like Nvidia and Microsoft. Chart Says : Weak Rebounds (green), Bearish Pressure (blue channels are now more agresive) Downtrend Channels: The chart shows Apple forming lower highs and lower lows, bouncing inside downward channels (not real channels, but are very ilustrative of how the price is moving trendy or not in each direction). Each recovery (green) is weaker than the last, and the most recent upward move is still capped by resistance. Bearish Patterns : The price action is dominated by failed breakouts and new descending channels, signaling that sellers are in control. Volume & Participation: There’s no strong buying volume to support a real reversal. This makes any rally fragile and prone to quick pullbacks. Why Is the Market Doubting Apple? Slowing Growth : Apple’s revenue growth has stalled, especially in China, where sales dropped 13% year-over-year. The latest iPhone launch was underwhelming, and services aren't growing fast enough to offset weak hardware sales. Falling Behind in AI: While Nvidia and Microsoft are leading the AI revolution, Apple is seen as late to the party. Their recent AI announcements disappointed investors looking for bold innovation. External Pressures: New tariffs and global tensions are hitting Apple harder than its peers, since more than 60% of its sales are international. Analyst Downgrades: Several analysts have lowered their price targets and ratings, reflecting concerns about Apple’s future growth. We've recently seen someanalyst showing prices under $200. Key Takeaway Apple is struggling to regain its former strength. The chart shows persistent bearishness, and the fundamentals back it up: slow growth, weak innovation, and external risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia and Microsoft are capturing investor attention with explosive growth and leadership in AI. Until Apple delivers a real catalyst, the path of least resistance remains down or sideways, not up. Do you think apple can surprise with some new AI innovation unexpected for all of us?
