Apple Elliott Wave Analysis suggesting a Bounce HigherHello Traders,
Apple decline from 10/03 peak (233.43) ended black wave ((W)) at 10/11 low (211.94). Above from there it ended black wave ((X)) pullback at 10/24 peak (224.16). Down from there it ended smaller degree blue wave (W) at 10/29 low (206.17) as flat structure in a lesser degree. Above from there it ended blue wave (X) pullback at 11/01 peak (223.48).
Down from there, it reached already the equal legs extreme area from 10/03 peak towards 202.48-197.31 (blue box) which is 100%-123.6% Fibonacci extension area of black wave ((W))-(X)). It is currently suggesting that it ended black wave ((Y)) of bigger picture red wave IV at 11/05 low (198.12) as a Elliott Wave double three structure. As long as the stock stays above 198.25 but more importantly the pivot at 189.32 stays intact we expect it to extend higher. We dont like selling it.
APPL Possibilities for next growth and retracementNASDAQ:AAPL has showing tremendous growth since 2003 with 1 dollar on each share. Which mean NASDAQ:AAPL has giving the investor a 228x return ever since in 15 years.
The fundamental behind is amazing. Great team, operated by passion and premium products make this company as one of the best in the world. Which make sense by any means, NASDAQ:AAPL will continue it's growth by the time.
The technical analysis behind it is APPL right is just overbought. RSI indicator shows us this level 230-228 already jump off the roof. Even tho it's not a maximal point at this level, since it can be touch psychological level @ 250 for each share, we're looking for retracement around 220 and 215 in Q3 or Q4. This retracement will give a cooling down effect as the healthy market price can continue to another level which will be followed by next analysis.
Which that being said, we're long with 250 resistance and waiting for the next dip.
Apple - CashCow until the endThe Apple share hunts from one high to the next and has more than doubled within 2 years. But eventually this uptrend will be over, but not today and tomorrow. Striking is the sharp decline in the volume of traded shares, which of course is due to the already years of Buy back stocks.
In the chart you can see my count and I summarized the short version of the good Q2 2018 numbers from May 2018 here so that you do not have to search:
More iPhones and iPads were sold than in the previous year. A sales increase of 16% to $ 61.1 billion was realized. Profit grew 25% to $ 13.8 billion.
Wow - What a CashCow!
Sales:
iPhones: 52.2 million devices worldwide (50.8 million in Q2 2017)
iPads: 9.1 million devices worldwide (8.92 million in Q2 2017)
Macs: 4.1 million devices worldwide (4.2 million in Q2 2017)
Sales: $ 61.1 billion worldwide ($ 52.9 billion in Q2 2017)
Profit: $ 13.8 billion worldwide ($ 11.0 billion in Q2 2017)
Cash Mountain = unbelievable $ 267.2 billion.
Investors view:
The dividend will be raised 16% to $ 0.73 in the quarter. That gives $ 2.92 p.a. To this end, $ 100 billion will be spent on the share buyback program and continue to tighten the outstanding shares.

Will Apple be the first in the race for a trillion?The earnings season in the US is still very ambiguous. And generates more questions than answers. Facebook's historic fall alone makes this season memorable.
But this season does not necessarily enter the history of the stock markets with a negative. The matter is that tomorrow the quarterly reporting of Apple (the publication is planned for July 31st, 2018 after the market close) will be published.
The current capitalization of Apple is $ 970 billion. That is, the company has come close to a trillion-dollar mark. And has a good chance to reach the finish line first, ahead of the main competitors from Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft.
On the one hand, the reaction of investors in the current earnings season is alarming. We have already mentioned Facebook, which managed to lose about $ 150 billion during a day on a very good figure. This is also Intel Corp., which even exceeded analysts' forecasts, but again was subjected to tough sales. And Netflix Inc., which demonstrated excellent data, but suffered severe losses. There are many such examples. As a result, in the current earnings season, the technology sector demonstrates the worst results. And this even though out of 36 technology companies, 35 showed better results than analysts forecast. That is, something quite illogical is happening.
But on the other hand, illogical markets can’t be permanent. Yes, from companies mentioned above, investors expect extraordinary and when they get something just ordinary, they are disappointed and give in to panic. Nevertheless, one must look at the situation not through rose-colored glasses of inflated expectations, but through the prism of the real world.
So, what do investors expect from Apple? In terms of quantitative indicators, it is the company's revenue growth of 15% y/y (the company's revenue for the third fiscal quarter is expected to amount to about $ 52.3 billion). This growth rate is the best for the company since 2015. Analysts say that the reason for such a rapid growth for the company is the rise in prices for the iPhone (yes, the growth rate of smartphone sales is only 2%, but together with the price of $ 1,000 iPhone X this should give a gain of revenue of about 17%. , the segment of smartphones generates about 60% of the company's revenues), the growth of revenues from the services sector (the company plans to increase revenue from this direction up to $ 50 billion a year and develops it very actively), as well as increased sales of Apple Watch and other products of the company (AirPods, HomePod, Apple TV).
So, if the data do not fail, investors will have a very good reason for buying Apple shares.
Also, important will be the company's comments about, the pace of sales of the iPhone X, as well as the effects of the trade wars of the US and China.
At these moments the reaction will be most acute.
Overall, given the illogical reaction of investors recently, Apple shares may be under pressure, especially if the quarterly data or management comments disappoint. Nevertheless, the general vector of the company's development so far does not give grounds for serious doubts about its effectiveness. So, we believe that the chances of reaching a trillion of capitalization from Apple are quite high. Our recommendation is to buy Apple shares.
Apple Retesting All-time-high BreakoutApple is currently retesting the all-time-high breakout zone. If you're looking for an entry with a close stop loss for Apple, this would be the moment you would enter the market.
Given that we just reached a new all-time-high by overcoming MAJOR resistance, the chance of us breaking to the upside and continuing to make new all-time-highs is very likely. The resistance above is very minimal and above that is all open sky.

Apple long term buy?I remember buying AAPL at 119.00 and I sold off my shares near 140-150. Another opportunity has risen. AAPL has broken out of a head and shoulders pattern. Also, the 50 MA is providing support and the coppock curve has a lot more room to move positive so this could be a chance to get back in. (If the stock does fall then it will probably fall into the top of the head and then rebound). AAPL recently released the iPhone X so since that's so recent there is not much room for its sales and profit to be counted in today's earnings report - but maybe in Q4.
So, if the stock rises I may cancel my take profit and go long-term. But, if it falls as I previously said I may buy for a medium-term swing trade.
Long AAPLApple reported spectacular results for third-quarter fiscal 2017, driven by the impressive Service segment performance. iPhone sales were also steady in the quarter.
Earnings of $1.67 per share and revenues of $45.4 billion surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.57 and $44.7 billion, respectively. On a year-over-year basis, earnings grew 17.6% and revenues increased 7.2%.
Total iPhone unit sales came in at about 41 million, up 2% year over year. Revenues from iPhone grew 3% from the year-ago quarter to $24.8 billion (54.7% of total revenue).
Services revenues - including revenues from Internet Services, App store, Apple Music, AppleCare, Apple Pay, and licensing and other services - surged 22% year over year to nearly $7.3 billion. App Store sales were a big contributor. The company remarked that it is now the size of a Fortune 100 company, much earlier than the company expected. Across the segment, the number of paid subscribers grew 20 million to a total of 185 million in the last three months.
Apple sold 11.4 million iPads in the quarter, up 15% year over year. Revenues of $5 billion were up 2% from the prior-year quarter.
Apple Mac unit sales were up 1% year over year to approximately 4.3 million, while revenues grew 7% from the prior-year quarter to $5.6 billion.
Other products - including revenues from Apple TV, Apple Watch, Beats products, iPod, and Apple-branded and third-party accessories - increased 23% year over year to over $2.7 billion.
