Apple (AAPL) Share Price Drops Over 7% in Two DaysApple (AAPL) Share Price Drops Over 7% in Two Days
As previously reported, AAPL shares had their worst January since 2008, but the challenges for investors have continued. The Apple (AAPL) stock chart shows that:
- Yesterday, the price dropped below $218 during trading—the lowest level since September last year.
- Compared to Friday’s closing price, the decline over the first two days of this week amounted to approximately 7.7%.
Why Has AAPL Stock Fallen?
Yesterday, we noted that bearish sentiment was prevailing in the stock market, leading the Nasdaq 100 index into correction territory. Market conditions were further dampened by news that Apple had delayed the release of an AI-powered update for its digital assistant, Siri 2.0, increasing selling pressure.
What Could Happen Next?
Technical Analysis of Apple (AAPL) Stock
Key price reversals, marked with red dots, outline a downward channel (shown in red). The median line, which previously acted as support (indicated by an arrow), has now been broken, suggesting that bears may expect it to act as resistance going forward.
From a bullish perspective, the lower boundary of the red channel, reinforced by the September low around $214, could serve as an area where selling pressure might ease—if AAPL continues to decline.

Is Apple's Empire Built on Sand?Apple Inc., a tech titan valued at over $2 trillion, has built its empire on innovation and ruthless efficiency. Yet, beneath this dominance lies a startling vulnerability: an overreliance on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for its cutting-edge chips. This dependence on a single supplier in a geopolitically sensitive region exposes Apple to profound risks. While Apple’s strategy has fueled its meteoric rise, it has also concentrated its fate in one precarious basket—Taiwan. As the world watches, the question looms: what happens if that basket breaks?
Taiwan’s uncertain future under China’s shadow amplifies these risks. If China moves to annex Taiwan, TSMC’s operations could halt overnight, crippling Apple’s ability to produce its devices. Apple’s failure to diversify its supplier base left its trillion-dollar empire on a fragile foundation. Meanwhile, TSMC’s attempts to hedge by opening U.S. factories introduce new complications. If Taiwan falls, the U.S. could seize these assets, potentially handing them to competitors like Intel. This raises unsettling questions: Who truly controls the future of these factories? And what becomes of TSMC’s investments if they fuel a rival’s ascent?
Apple’s predicament is a microcosm of a global tech industry tethered to concentrated semiconductor production. Efforts to shift manufacturing to India or Vietnam pale against China’s scale, while U.S. regulatory scrutiny—like the Department of Justice’s probe into Apple’s market dominance—adds further pressure. The U.S. CHIPS Act seeks to revive domestic manufacturing, but Apple’s grip on TSMC muddies the path forward. The stakes are clear: resilience must now trump efficiency, or the entire ecosystem risks collapse.
As Apple stands at this crossroads, the question echoes: Can it forge a more adaptable future, or will its empire crumble under the weight of its design? The answer may not only redefine Apple but also reshape the global balance of tech and power. What would it mean for us all if the chips—both literal and figurative—stopped falling into place?

$SPY $SPX Pullback to Gap Fill? I've been waiting for a rocket to AMEX:SPY $630 but my monthly tells me that February wants to close red. Here is my daily with a fib that we cant seem to hold above although today we did close above once I have been waiting patiently in this box unlike others, I have constantly reiterated, don't try to be a hero inside of the box. Now that the Box seems to be pushing towards the upside, I can't help but notice we continue printing bearish candles regardless of direction. Today we closed with a Hangman, which begs the question, could we perhaps lean bearish for two of the most bearish weeks of the year in comparison? I'd like to think I'm not wrong here and we will get a spill before anyone gets an expected blow off top. Be careful out there, volatility remains present and the VIX was above the 50DMA last time I checked. If we can get this gap fill and start moving back up, I will be confident in the gap fill being bottom. Seeing as $593 AMEX:SPY alert for bottom never filled, I will have to assume it's still a possibility. Taz out.
Apple: Top and DropAs part of Apple's ongoing wave (2) correction, we assume that the subordinate turquoise wave X still needs to conclude in the short term before the price can drop into our magenta Target Zone between $209.57 and $196.05. There, we anticipate a bullish reversal, which should offer trading opportunities for the long side and mark the starting point for the next major upward move. Alternatively, there is a 37% chance that the low of wave alt.(2) has already been reached, which will be confirmed if the price surpasses $260.10.
AAPLAAPL price is in a correction phase. Now the price is near the resistance zone. If the price cannot break through 259, it is expected that the price will drop. Consider selling the red zone.

AAPL Price Analysis: Targeting $270 by December 2024Hello Traders,
I'm sharing my latest analysis on AAPL, currently trading at $226.5. Previously, on August 23, 2023, I predicted that AAPL would hit its first target of $220 and its second target of $250. As you can see in the attached chart, AAPL has been making significant progress.
On the weekly chart, a flag pattern has emerged in the middle of the chart. I’ve drawn a parallel channel surrounding this flag pattern and aligned the channel’s upper and lower lines with the Fibonacci levels of 38% and 61.8%. By projecting these lines to the 100% level, I’ve identified a target price of $270, a key level based on important angular calculations.
Target 🎯: $270
When? Based on the time it took for AAPL to move from the 0% level at $55 to the 50% level at $165, which was 86 weeks or 602 days, I anticipate a similar timeframe for the move from the 50% level to the 100% level (yellow circles on chart). This places the expected date to reach $270 around December 23, 2024.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) Forming a Potential W-Pattern – A Bullish SignApple Inc. (AAPL) Forming a Potential W-Pattern – A Bullish Signal
Apple Inc. (AAPL) appears to be shaping a significant W-pattern, a well-known technical formation often associated with bullish momentum. From a psychological standpoint, this pattern suggests a potential buying opportunity.
Should fundamental factors align with this technical setup, I anticipate a strong upward move, targeting my 3 TP levels at $245, $250, and $260.
To maximize profitability and maintain a disciplined approach, traders should consider managing risk effectively.
Holding positions for optimal gains becomes easier when avoiding excessive leverage—or better yet, trading with no leverage at all.
Trade with caution.
Always align technical insights with fundamental analysis before making investment decisions.
