Apple (AAPL) Shares Jump Following Earnings ReportApple (AAPL) Shares Jump Following Earnings Report
Yesterday, after the close of the regular trading session, Apple released its earnings report, which surpassed analysts’ expectations:
→ Earnings per share: actual = $1.57, forecast = $1.43;
→ Revenue: actual = $94.04 billion, forecast = $89.35 billion.
As a result, AAPL shares surged in the post-market, rising from $207.57 to $212.51.
Media Commentary:
→ The company reported a 13% year-on-year increase in iPhone sales.
→ However, according to Tim Cook, tariffs have already cost the company $800 million and this figure could exceed $1 billion in the next quarter.
Technical Analysis of the Apple (AAPL) Stock Chart
Following the volatility in April 2025, price action has justified the construction of an ascending channel (marked in blue). The $216 level, which has acted as a key reference point since March, remains a significant resistance area, because:
→ It has consistently prevented AAPL from reaching the upper boundary of the channel;
→ Even in the wake of a strong earnings report, the price failed to break through this level in post-market trading.
If the $216 level continues to cap gains in the coming days – despite the positive report – the stock might pull back towards the median line of the blue channel (following the post-market rally). This zone often reflects a balance between supply and demand. While such a retracement would appear technically justified, it may raise concerns among shareholders, particularly when compared to the more aggressive price rallies seen in the shares of other tech giants, such as Microsoft (MSFT), as we discussed yesterday.
From a more pessimistic perspective, peak A may turn out to be yet another lower high within a broader bearish structure that has been forming on the AAPL chart since December 2024, when the stock reached its all-time high around the $260 level.

Trend Analysis
GBPAUD Potential Bullish Reversal Setup – Key Breakout Levels GBPAUD is showing signs of a potential bullish reversal after a prolonged downtrend, with price consolidating within a descending wedge pattern. The pair is testing a breakout point, and fundamentals favor a bullish recovery supported by GBP strength relative to AUD weakness.
Technical Analysis (4H Chart)
Pattern: Descending wedge formation, often a bullish reversal structure.
Current Level: 2.0507, holding within the wedge and preparing for a potential breakout.
Key Support Levels:
2.0416 – immediate support and invalidation zone if broken.
2.0350 – extended support if bearish pressure resumes.
Resistance Levels:
2.0650 – near-term breakout level.
2.0740 – secondary bullish target if breakout confirms.
Projection: If the wedge breaks upward, price could rally toward 2.0650 initially, then 2.0740 for further confirmation of bullish momentum.
Fundamental Analysis
Bias: Bullish if breakout confirms.
Key Fundamentals:
GBP: BOE remains cautious but leans toward maintaining tight policy amid sticky inflation.
AUD: RBA is constrained by weaker growth and trade risks linked to global tariffs, limiting AUD upside.
Global Sentiment: Risk-off sentiment weighs on AUD, favoring GBP relative strength.
Risks:
Hawkish RBA surprise or strong China data could strengthen AUD.
BOE dovish signals may cap GBP upside.
Key Events:
BOE policy updates and UK inflation data.
RBA meeting and Chinese economic releases.
Leader/Lagger Dynamics
GBP/AUD is a lagger, often following EUR/AUD and GBP/USD movements, but it could gain momentum if GBP strength broadens against risk-sensitive currencies.
Summary: Bias and Watchpoints
GBP/AUD is setting up for a bullish reversal, with key breakout confirmation above 2.0650. A move toward 2.0740 would reinforce this scenario. The main watchpoints are BOE policy tone, RBA updates, and China’s economic signals.
WAIT FOR A TRIPLE CONFIRMATION AND CAPITALIZE ON THE TARIFFS
Analysis and Prediction by DunnInvesting
Market Overview
The BTCUSD chart on a 1-hour timeframe shows a recent consolidation phase following a sharp decline. Key technical indicators suggest a potential reversal or continuation pattern. The price is approaching a critical support zone around $113,792.86, with a descending trendline acting as resistance.
Thought Process
Support Zone Identification: The $113,792.86 level aligns with a historical support zone and the 50-period EMA, indicating a strong area for potential buying interest.
Trendline Resistance: The descending trendline has capped recent upward movements. A break above this level could signal a bullish reversal.
Triple Confirmation: Wait for three confirmations:
A bullish candlestick pattern (e.g., engulfing candle) at the support zone.
A break above the trendline with increased volume.
A retest of the trendline as new support.
This setup offers a clear entry point with defined risk below the support zone, making it understandable and actionable.
Trade Plan
Entry: $114,500 after triple confirmation.
Take Profit 1 (TP1): $118,505 (4.5% gain).
Take Profit 2 (TP2): $123,051 (7.5% gain).
Stop Loss: $112,000 (below support, ~2.2% risk).
Risk-Reward Ratio: 1:2.04 (TP1) and 1:3.41 (TP2).
Profit Targets and Stop Loss
TP1 at $118,505 targets a conservative 4.5% move.
TP2 at $123,051 aims for a more ambitious 7.5% upside.
Stop loss at $112,000 protects against a breakdown below support.
Clarifying Notes
This idea leverages the current market uncertainty around tariffs, which could drive volatility and create trading opportunities. Monitor volume and news closely for validation.

ETH Approaching Major Resistance – Expecting Pullback Hello guys!
Ethereum has been rallying strongly within a well-respected ascending channel, pushing past key levels and now approaching a major resistance zone around $3,900–$4,000.
According to the chart structure, it looks like price could soon react from this resistance, leading to a pullback into the $3,000–$3,200 demand zone, which aligns with the midline of the channel.
This would be a healthy correction before potentially continuing the bullish trend and attempting a clean breakout toward new highs.
ETH is still bullish, but it may need to retest support before continuation.
Watch for a bounce from the $3,000–$3,200 zone for a high-probability long opportunity.
NIFTY50.....Miss a final sell-off! Part IIHello Traders,
the NIFTY50 is on track with my forecast! It declined over the course of the week to a level of 24565 points - a loss of almost 271 points, (nearly 1.09%).
The question is, if N50 is declining lower in the coming week. The question is, to what degree will it decline ?
Chart analysis:
Today, I'd like to show you another idea of the count. Here, at the level of 25669, a wave (v), green, has been established, and the following correction is a wave (iv), pink, to the level I have mark with the sky blue rectangle. This rectangle ranges from 24473 to 23934.90. If we reach these levels, wave (iv), whether of wave ((iv)) or wave (iv), should end!
In either case, there is more downside potential and has more room to go, and is not finished yet.
The first sign, that something went wrong would be at the point, when the high @ 23368, wave (i), green, were to be touched! This is because it is not permitted for a wave (iv) to touch the high of any degree of wave (i).
The indicators, too, have much room to decline for the rest of the week.
So, it will be exiting to watch how the market will makes its decision.
Have a great weekend.....

SOL Both scenarios are valid! SOL is still bullishSOL Both scenarios are valid! SOL is still bullish
SOL is in a critical zone. The price is still inside a large bullish pattern and as long as it stays inside the pattern, the trend remains bullish and SOL should follow the bullish scenario.
The bullish targets are at 205, 214 and 224
It may happen that the FOMC will bring surprises, so if SOL manages to break below the pattern, it will activate the bearish scenario after that and the chances of falling will increase further as shown in the red scenario.
The bearish targets are at 160 and 139
You may find more details in the chart!
Thank you and Good Luck!

Solana Update · Retrace, Bears & The Bullish BiasSolana had a retrace in May. Notice the 19-May date on the chart. This retrace produced four weeks red. The bullish move that led to this retrace lasted 6 weeks. The last rise lasted five weeks and the current retrace might last only two weeks, can be less.
We are seeing Solana rising but this rise is not a one-time off event, this is a trend that is developing. An uptrend as a long-term phenomena is different to a short-term bullish moves. A short-term move tends to be really fast, one strong burst and that's it. A long-term move is different. Instead of seeing 2-3 candles and Solana trading at $1,000, we see dozens and dozens of candles with prices slowly rising. There are strong fluctuations but the end result is always up. And that's how you see the fluctuations on the chart.
Solana moved up and then immediately started to retrace. Then another rise and another retrace again. This retrace will end and prices will continue to grow long-term. The bulls are in. The bull market is on. Solana, Bitcoin, Crypto and the rest of the Altcoins market is going up.
Namaste.

Don’t Panic — It’s Just a Healthy Crypto Correction!While the crypto market has seen some red this week, the bigger picture remains intact. Let’s zoom out and make sense of the current correction.
🔸 TOTAL Market Cap (left chart)
The structure remains overall bullish, trading inside the red rising channel.
After a solid rally, the market is currently pulling back toward a strong demand zone – perfectly aligned with the lower trendline. This area is likely to act as a major support, from which the next bullish impulse could kick off.
🔸 USDT Dominance (right chart)
USDT.D remains overall bearish, trading inside the red falling channel.
It’s currently pushing higher toward a well-defined supply zone, which also intersects with the upper red trendline. As long as this area holds, we expect sellers to take over again — giving altcoins the space they need to bounce back.
📌 In simple terms:
The market is in a healthy correction. Don’t let short-term dips shake your long-term view. The trend is still your friend.
➡️ As always, speak with your financial advisor and do your own research before making any investment decisions.
📚 Always follow your trading plan => including entry, risk management, and trade execution.
Good luck!
All strategies are good, if managed properly.
