Apple Stock Defies Market Downturn with Strong Q3 PerformanceIn a day marked by a broad-market selloff, Apple Inc. ( NASDAQ:AAPL ) stood out as a beacon of resilience and strength. The tech giant’s shares rose on Friday, buoyed by its impressive fiscal third-quarter results that surpassed Wall Street’s expectations. Here’s a closer look at Apple’s recent performance and what it means for investors.
Stellar Earnings Report
Apple reported a 4.9% year-over-year increase in revenue for the quarter ending June 29, reaching $85.8 billion. This growth was primarily driven by a 14.1% surge in services revenue, which hit $24.2 billion. Earnings per share (EPS) also saw a notable increase, rising 11.1% to $1.40, significantly above the anticipated $1.35 per share.
"During the quarter, our record business performance generated EPS growth of 11 percent and nearly $29 billion in operating cash flow, allowing us to return over $32 billion to shareholders," said Luca Maestri, Apple’s Chief Financial Officer. "We are also very pleased that our installed base of active devices reached a new all-time high in all geographic segments, thanks to very high levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty."
Key Performance Metrics
- Mac Sales: Increased by 2.5% to $7 billion.
- iPad Sales: Surged by 23.7% to $7.2 billion.
- iPhone Sales: Slight decline of 0.9% to $39.3 billion.
- Wearables, Home, and Accessories: Decreased by 2.2% to $8.1 billion.
The growth in services and devices sales highlights Apple's diverse revenue streams, which continue to drive overall financial health despite minor setbacks in iPhone sales.
Market Reactions and Future Outlook
Wall Street reacted positively to Apple’s robust financial performance, with the stock gaining ground in a market otherwise dominated by losses. Since early May, following the announcement of a substantial stock buyback program, Apple’s shares have climbed nearly 32%. The consensus among analysts remains bullish, with an average target price of $231.32, indicating a potential upside of about 4% from current levels. Notably, Needham has set a higher price target of $260, suggesting over 16% growth potential.
Needham analyst Laura Martin highlighted Apple’s strategic focus on leveraging its vast installed base of more than 1.25 billion wealthy consumers. "We believe Apple’s goal is to grow long-term volume through increasing the average revenue per user and lowering churn levels by up-selling its users into additional devices and services," Martin noted.
Strategic Initiatives
Apple’s strategy of enhancing its ecosystem through increased services and product integration continues to pay off. The company’s commitment to returning value to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends further solidifies its position as a stable and attractive investment.
On the conference call, Maestri projected similar revenue growth rates for the fourth quarter, including double-digit growth in services. This positive outlook underscores the company’s ability to navigate economic uncertainties and maintain its growth trajectory.
Conclusion
Despite a turbulent market environment, Apple’s strong fiscal third-quarter results and strategic initiatives have positioned it well for continued success. The tech giant’s ability to deliver impressive earnings, maintain high customer loyalty, and execute effective growth strategies makes it a compelling stock for both current and potential investors.
As Apple continues to innovate and expand its services, it remains a cornerstone of stability and growth in the tech sector. With Wall Street's confidence and a solid roadmap ahead, Apple’s stock is poised to keep delivering value to its shareholders.
AAPL trendline breakdown possible . US Stock216 below trendline breakdown possible
expecting 205 can test soon
what is your view
APPLE Dont get fooled by the short-term pull-back. $280 on trackExactly 3 months ago (May 02, see chart below), we called for a strong buy signal on Apple (AAPL) and it dully delivered as 2 days ago the stock completed three straight green months with a new All Time High (ATH):
The recent weekly pull-back shouldn't allow you to diverge from the bigger picture and on this analysis we look at it from a 1M time-frame perspective. As you can see, as long as the 1M MA50 (blue trend-line) holds, Apple will continue to be on a 15-year uptrend, which shows very distinct Phases.
Right now we are on the Channel Up that followed the 2022 Inflation Crisis, which was a similar correction to 2015 - 2016 (China's slowdown). The Channel Up that followed peaked at +161% before the next correction towards the 1M MA50. Even the 2013 - 2014 rise was still +145%.
As a result, we don't believe the current Channel Up to be over either, expecting a peak closer to 300. Our Target is marginally below it at $280.00.

Apple Downside IdeaI feel the pump today with the SPY and QQQ was a way to allow for more selling to come soon. I don't believe the market is going to continue bullish especially given a bearish downtrend was starting to form on SPY and QQQ. Could be wrong of course, but time will tell. GLTA!

Something about Bitcoin: Understanding the World's FiIntroduction
Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, has revolutionized the financial world since its inception in 2009. Created by an unknown person or group of people using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority or single administrator. This guide aims to provide an in-depth understanding of Bitcoin, covering its history, technology, use cases, and future prospects.
History of Bitcoin
The Genesis of Bitcoin
The concept of Bitcoin was introduced in a white paper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" published by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. The white paper outlined a system that would enable direct transactions between parties without the need for an intermediary. The Bitcoin network went live on January 3, 2009, when Nakamoto mined the first block, known as the Genesis Block, which contained a reward of 50 bitcoins.
Early Development and Adoption
In its early years, Bitcoin was primarily used by enthusiasts and cryptography experts. The first recorded commercial transaction using Bitcoin occurred in 2010 when a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas. This transaction is often cited to highlight the early value and adoption of Bitcoin.
Growth and Milestones
Over the years, Bitcoin's adoption grew steadily. In 2011, it reached parity with the US dollar, and by 2013, it had surpassed $1,000. Bitcoin's growing popularity attracted both investors and developers, leading to the establishment of numerous exchanges, wallets, and other services. Major companies, including Microsoft and Overstock, began accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment.
Challenges and Controversies
Bitcoin's journey has not been without challenges. It has faced regulatory scrutiny, hacking incidents, and criticism for its association with illicit activities. Despite these issues, Bitcoin has continued to thrive, evolving into a widely recognized and utilized digital asset.
Apple going to be bullish.Price touch this strong support area and get rejected, now the accumulation phase, expect a little manipulation movement could happen before start moving higher.
AAPL - LONGmacro support and wedge breakout to the upside, target 222-225 next few days following FOMC.
Apple's next earnings report is expected to be released on August 1, 2024. Analysts project a slight decline in revenue and earnings compared to the same period last year. The consensus estimates for the fiscal third quarter are:
- **Revenue**: $90.36 billion, down from $94.84 billion in Q3 2023.
- **Earnings Per Share (EPS)**: $1.50, slightly down from $1.52 in Q3 2023.
- **Net Income**: $23.26 billion, down from $24.16 billion in the same period last year.
Key points of interest include iPhone sales, especially in China, where increased competition has led to a projected 15% decline in sales. Analysts expect Apple to report selling approximately 51.6 million iPhone units, down from 58 million units a year ago. Additionally, there are high expectations for updates related to Apple's artificial intelligence initiatives, as the company has been relatively quiet about its AI plans compared to its peers.
Investors will also be looking for potential announcements regarding a new $90 billion stock buyback program and a 3% dividend increase, which could positively influence market sentiment.

AAPL Apple Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought AAPL before the previous earnings:
Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of AAPL Apple prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 220usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2024-8-2,
for a premium of approximately $3.95.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Apple - Back to no.1 in the world!NASDAQ:AAPL is back to being no.1 in the world after rallying 11% in two days.
After moving higher +25% over the past two months, Apple is now back to being the most valuable company in the world with a market cap of 3.4 trillion dollars. This means that Apple is now back to leading the indices but Apple is also retesting resistance. A pullback is definitely likely considering that trees do not grow to the sky, but the overall trend is simply clearly bullish!
Levels to watch: $170, $215
Keep your long term vision,
Philip - BasicTrading
Mid-term bullish scenario Price Reaction: If the price bounces off the marked support area, we can expect it to rise towards the upper range of the linear regression channel, reaching levels between $235 and $245 in the medium term.
Precautions: It is important to monitor the price behavior in the support zone ($215 - $220). A break below this level could invalidate the bullish scenario and indicate a trend change.
AAPL Can Go Up or Down!AAPL technicals looks like its ready to push higher after holding daily support. But with ER on Thursday we have to be careful. Positioning over the next few weeks is bullish with a high gamma level at 220. A gap down on open to test 215 and hold would be ideal to look for longs but 215 is my line in the sand.

The Apple DominionThe weakest minion can terminate the Apple dominion.
Apples, like all fruit, are born to serve two purposes.
To spread the apple species and to feed birds, worms and humans.
The life of the apple is interesting to watch. It began as a tiny seed in the fields of NASDAQ in 1980, weighing at $0.39 (or grams).
Now the apple has grown to be almost 800 grams. That is record heavy for an apple.
(There have been several stock splits that lowered the price of each apple)
The miracle of nature is, that a tiny cell can multiply thousands upon thousands of times. In this case, our apple fruit has grown almost 2000x since its birth.
We have fed off of apples for a long long time.
The consumption of apples (measured in pieces) reached its peak in 2010.
Most who needed to eat a single apple, have eaten it. Volume is significantly decreasing.
This apple fruit is now massive in size. No sane person would eat 800 grams of apple in an evening. Of course volume has significantly weakened. Now with a single apple you can feed an entire family.
To make some sense of the real need for apples, we have to consider the daily consumption of apples in grams, not in a piece-by-piece basis.
This indicators makes a very simple calculation. It multiplies volume with the logarithm of price.
If we wish to compare price to volume, we must convert them both in the same scale.
Volume is linear, while price is logarithmic. To compare apples to apples, price must be turned into a linear number.
An interesting phenomenon takes shape right in front of our eyes.
Apple consumption reached its peak in 2008. From then, the market is getting progressively more saturated in apples.
Think about it. Everyone who needed an apple, has eaten one.
There is almost nobody left who has never eaten an apple.
Up until 2008, most the majority of apples went into our mouths.
Now, the majority of apples will have to evacuate through the back door.
Consumers have eaten too much of everything, not just apples.
Similar saturation problems occur in the wider feed (equity) market.
Stepping aside from the wider eating problem, we can perform some more analysis on recent price action of apples. To further support the following analysis, I will consult some professionals. Robert D. Edwards, John Magee and W.H.C. Bassetti. In their book called "Technical Analysis of Stock Trends (Eleventh Edition)", in page 62 there is an incredible chart.
As it turns out, Head-and-Shoulders patterns can be non-normal. With many bumps for heads and shoulders. This chart will be used as a guideline for recent apple prices.
These charts are too similar to ignore. Truth is usually hidden right under our noses. We may choose to ignore it, but it still exists.
While the NL (Neck Line) trend is intact, a wider trend is at risk.
Even if price tries to cloud your judgement using fakeouts, you must stay strong in your view.
And if you are afraid of being wrong, you must find more ways to prove that you are not an elephant.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.
-Father Grigori
AAPL BUY +++AAPL has been holding Fib support and consolidating here though it's extremely overvalued here the chart is looking bullish on 4 hour and one day charts. We do have overhead resistance on 4 hour chart and support at $213 on 1 day. We could easily bounce to $226 on this stent.
