AAPL: Symmetrical Triangle Breakdown with S-2 in FocusAAPL has now broken below a well-defined symmetrical triangle structure, as well as the ~$208 S-1 support area I’ve highlighted.
I’m watching the $194.91 zone (S-2), which served as a key support and pivot earlier this year. If price heads into that area, I’ll be looking for confirmation and stabilization before initiating a position.
If the setup aligns, I plan to trade it via Sep/Oct put sales around the $170/$175 strikes -- targeting levels I’d be comfortable owning if assigned, and collecting premium if not.
Not stepping in early here… just tracking structure, respecting price action, and planning around risk-defined entries. We’ll see how this one plays out. Stay tuned.
APCD trade ideas
Bullish Idea on APPLNASDAQ:AAPL / Lovley day its been a while, am planing to share my views on the markets atleast once a week from now going forward. Basically on this bias idea above here @LutthMage we are leaning more on long term holding, WITH AN ADVANTAGE OF TAKING SHORT TERM TRADES BASED ON OUR LONG TERM INVESTMENT IDEA WE ARE SURE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND AS TIME GOES BY.
NOW LET THE GAMES BEGIN```
On the chart above we a basically bullish due to 4 reasons
1. The trend is our friend its currently bullish, because AAPL is BREAKING STRUCTURE NO VISIBLE Change of character as of yet
2. We got a widening channel currenly bouncing of the lower level line of the channel.
3. Price is playing around a Bullish FVG
4. APPLE JUST CREATED SELL SIDE LIQUIDITY.
We will keep you posted on the short term trades we execute based on this bullish bias on APPL, ofcourse only if they do appear for now we sit and do the hardest thing to do wich is NOTHING.
AS TIME GOES BY YOU WILL CHARACTERIZE A WASH RINSE AND REPEAT PROCESS FROM US @LutthMage NASDAQ:AAPL
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.

Why Apple Could Be Entering a Structural Correction🍎📉 Why Apple Could Be Entering a Structural Correction ⚠️🔍
After scanning major tech names today, one stock stood out— for all the wrong reasons : NASDAQ:AAPL .
Technically, Apple has broken below long-standing trendline support , and my chart now assigns a 70% probability(roughly guys...roughly and rounded) of further downside vs only 30% upside . But it's not just about the chart...
Here’s the macro storm Apple is walking into:
🧭 1. Trade War Revival
New tariffs on Chinese electronics could cost Apple up to $1.1B/quarter , even as it tries to diversify production. India and Vietnam are promising, but not mature enough to offset risk.
🤖 2. Lagging in the AI Arms Race
While Nvidia, Google, and Microsoft pour $30B+ into AI, Apple is spending less than half that. Analysts weren’t impressed with “Apple Intelligence.” Siri still isn’t leading.
🇨🇳 3. China: Flatlining Growth, Rising Risk
~18% of Apple’s revenue still comes from China. With Huawei resurging and tightening regulations, Apple’s dominance is being chipped away.
🛑 4. Innovation Pipeline: Empty?
There’s no iPhone super-cycle ahead. Vision Pro remains niche. Apple now looks like a mature tech stock without a breakout catalyst —risky when valuation is still premium.
⚖️ 5. Legal Pressure on Both Sides of the Atlantic
The DOJ and EU are targeting Apple’s App Store dominance. If changes are enforced, the service revenue moat weakens.
🔽 Summary: This Isn’t Panic. It’s Repricing.
The market is re-rating Apple based on real structural risks.
Downside levels I’m watching:
📉 177.65 (first support)
📉 154.53 (next key level)
❗️134–113 zone if macro pressure escalates
Chart = structure. Narrative = pressure. Both are aligned.
Let me know your thoughts—still long NASDAQ:AAPL , or hedging this weakness?

Ascending Triangle APPLE! Could be a big move up soon?!Very short technical idea. Apple could be forming a massive Ascending Triangle Pattern, which would be super bullish for this Magnificent 7 stock. It could also be looking to break soon!
It's a bullish continuation pattern, which usually indicates that an existing upward trend will persist once the pattern is completed.
End of correction or a drop?In the long-term trend of Apple stock, we all know it's clearly bullish. However, it has been going through a correction for a while now, and signs are starting to suggest that the correction may be ending. Once a trigger is confirmed, we can consider trading this stock and going for a buy.
Apple Is Down YTD Ahead of Earnings. What Does Its Chart Say?Apple NASDAQ:AAPL will report earnings Thursday at a time when the tech giant has been struggling more than most other "Magnificent Seven" stocks or higher-end, AI-focused companies. What does fundamental and technical analysis say about AAPL heading into the report?
Let's see:
Apple's Fundamental Analysis
Apple was down 14.4% year to date as of Friday's close, while the S&P 500 was up 8.6%.
Meanwhile, fellow Mag-7 members Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA and Microsoft NASDAQ:MSFT -- the only publicly traded U.S. companies other than Apple with more than a $3 trillion market cap -- are up 29.2% and 21.9%, respectively.
AAPL has lagged largely because the consumer-electronics giant has dragged its feet on innovation, as well as on the great chase into the world of generative artificial intelligence.
Readers might recall that back in early May, Apple's board increased the firm's dividend payout and authorized a whopping $100 billion share-repurchase program in an attempt to attract investment. But so far, that hasn't seemed to impress Wall Street much.
As for Apple's upcoming fiscal Q3 earnings, the Street is looking for the company to post $1.42 a GAAP EPS of $1.42 on some $89 billion of revenue.
That would represent 1.4% earnings growth and 3.7% better revenues from the $1.40 EPS on $85.8 billion of revenues that the iPhone maker reported in the same period last year.
If this sounds like weak growth, it is. Apple saw 6% year-over-year growth during fiscal Q2 2025, as well as 4.9% in fiscal Q3 2024.
In fact, 20 of the 29 sell-side analysts that I found that cover AAPL lowered their earnings estimates lower for the fiscal Q3 since the period began. (Five have boosted their numbers, while four have made no changes.)
Apple's Technical Analysis
Now let's look at Apple's chart going back to November:
Readers will see that the stock appears to be at a crossroads.
On one hand, Apple developed a "triple-top" pattern of bearish reversal beginning in early May, as marked with red boxes at the above chart's right.
A triple top occurs when a "double-top" pattern fails and a stock retests its resistance from below for a third time.
However, we can see at the chart's extreme right that AAPL has just about reached its resistance level for a fourth time.
What now? Often when someone knocks on a door often enough, that door will open.
Perhaps even more interestingly, we can see that Apple's roughly $215 resistance level (vs. the $213.88 AAPL closed at Friday) appeared at almost precisely the 50% retracement point of the stock's December 2024-April 2025 sell-off.
Note that while they're included with most Fibonacci retracement models, 50% retracements aren't true Fibonacci levels. They are their own thing, but just as technically noteworthy.
All in, Apple now has two potential upside pivots.
One would be the break above the apex of the pattern that's in place. The other would be Apple's 200-day Simple Moving Average (or "SMA," marked with a red line above.)
That creates a potentially bullish set-up. Apple could see support from both its 21-day Exponential Moving Average (or "EMA," denoted with a green line above) and from its 50-day SMA (the blue line above). That's likely where we'll find out if professional managers are willing to defend the stock.
Meanwhile, Apple's Relative Strength Index (or "RSI," marked with a gray line at the chart's top) is robust, but not in a technically overbought state.
Similarly, the stock's daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (or "MACD," denoted with black and gold lines and blue bars at the chart's bottom), has a bullish look to it, but not overwhelmingly so.
The histogram of Apple's 9-day EMA (the blue bars) is above zero, which is historically a short-term positive signal.
Additionally, both the 12-day EMA (black line) and 26-day EMA (gold line) are above zero, with the black line above the gold line. That's traditionally a short- to medium-term positive signal as well.
Still, it's what happens at that fourth top in the above chart that will likely decide Apple's fate technically.

APPL, Get Yourself a Good PriceHello This week we are breaking down the MAG7 starting with Apple.
This analysis is an aid to help you:
1 Find good price to add to your long term.
2 Hedge your current position.
3 Make a swing trade (we will touch on options pricing as well).
Currently Apple is 1 of 5 of the MAG 7 that had not gained a new high since Trump and the tariff scares. Many analysts have given their predictions on where Apples fair value lies and these vary. What they will not tell you is where the institutional buyers and sellers are. Not to worry, this is where we come in
Big Buyers and Big Sellers
On the chart in front of you, take a look at the 3 different buy and sell zones (otherwise known as supply and demand zones). We find these areas in using a system similar to "imbalances" if you are familiar with the footprint chart, or orderflow. If you had no idea what any of that means, not to worry, I've done the work for you.
-The lines represent the fringe of real liquidity . Using this we will be able to help you find how and when you can find a good price for your long term.
- Buyers/Sellers: strong motivated liquidity.
- Extreme Buyers/sellers Extreme demand, this is an area you could consider a steal.
1 How do you find good pricing?
Simply put - Buy with the buyers and sell with the sellers.
If you are wanting to add to your long term here are the prices. Do you want to get in ASAP? or are you willing to wait for what could be a great deal. This is important as the end of the year can greatly depend on not just picking a good stock, but finding a great price.
Buying
Fair - 192
Good - 188-187
GREAT - 180-169
Now if you are in, and maybe you want to hedge the downside (you can do this by shorting the stock, or buying put options (even more in depth you can do spreads).
For now we will just focus on Buying Put options and taking profit for swing traders.
The Burgundy line "bottom of supply" previously rejected this area twice before (May 1st, and May 14th). July 7th marks the 3rd rejection. It's important to note that the last test pushes a new high, this shows a bit of weakness from the sellers.
This weakness suggests we may see the 218-225 Sellers get tested before it comes down. The question is, How strong will the buyers be coming into this zone.
If they are aggressing this area with new REAL buyers, Then we may see this run through all these sellers and continue to run until the 245 area. If we do not find real buyers here, then likely we will reject to the pricing marked previously.
If you are holding APPLE, you can look to hedge with puts at the end of the 220-223. Since you are looking at about 5-7% downside from apple if the sellers are strong here, look to only spend 2-3% of your apple worth on puts. look for maybe 2-3 weeks out if possible.
Secondly if APPL does make a bull run to 245 you can mark this area again to hedge short term puts. look for 8-10%+ downside puts 3-4 weeks out (roughly 3-5% of your apple size)
Hedging can be very useful in wanted to keep your long term and navigate some of the ebbs and flows of the market. Notice that the risk of your puts, 2-3% & 3-5%, is half of the expected reaction from these areas. if you get a big rejection, expect these options to pay well.
NOTE: If you do not understand the implied volatility (IV's) change the price of options, it is recommended that you stay away from options until you have sufficient experience. It's also important to know how to find a good strike price, and how to know if you are getting a good price. I will be breaking down options pricing in a different time.
That's all for Apple, Stay tuned for the rest of the MAG 7!
APPLE: Weak Market & Bearish Continuation
Looking at the chart of APPLE right now we are seeing some interesting price action on the lower timeframes. Thus a local move down seems to be quite likely.

AAPL EARNINGSAAPL is consolidating just below the post-EPS resistance zone near 219, while institutions are actively defending support around 210. There's visible absorption at 210 and 205, aligning with high PUT interest, suggesting a strong institutional floor.
Distribution is evident in the 220–225 area, where CALLs are being sold to cap upside and benefit from theta decay.
Upside target: 230 if price breaks above 225 with volume.
Downside target: 200–195 if 210 fails to hold.

Consistent since then.
Consolidation happened @ key weekly support $194-198 range, solid move up after.
Long Apple currently.
They have the IPHONE 17 releasing in Sept with a few new colors and new back design as well as other affordable options to assist with consumer retention, entry and re entry into the apple hemisphere for consumers.
Earnings July 31st, currently expected to increase YOY for Q3.
I expect earnings to come in strong to assist with the move up to try and work back to retest ATH again.
Long back up to $247 range to close out 2025 for Apple. End of year Q3, Q4 is always their time to shine. Don't think we see a break of ATH in 2025 for Apple though. Retest, to come back down slightly again before major break.

Time to buy? Too much negative press. Buy in Fear- Updated 18/7Apple 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.
Apple has been consolidating in the 210 USD region, forming a smaller flag pattern that is nearing completion. Based on this previous pattern, the next upward move is expected to reach >$220, where consolidation will likely begin again. With Apple’s earnings rapidly approaching and stronger-than-expected results anticipated, July and August could be very positive months for Apple holders.
A golden cross appears likely, with the 50-day EMA just $5.50 below the 200-day EMA. This would be very bullish for Apple and could trigger significant interest from both institutional and retail investors. Additionally, Apple has been lagging behind the other “Magnificent Seven” stocks, experiencing considerable selling pressure; however, this trend is now reversing. Apple is shaping up to be a good short-term and long-term hold.
APPL. Bulls are in ControlHello, I’m TheCafeTrader.
This post is for technical traders looking to capitalize on short swings and options.
What you’re seeing here are supply and demand zones — areas where liquidity is concentrated. These levels are identified using a system built around footprint data, order flow, and market imbalances.
🔹 Key Observation:
I’ve marked a seller that price has now broken above. This tells us that buyers have overpowered a sell-side participant, and are now likely targeting deeper liquidity in the $218–$225 range.
🔹 On Apple’s Behavior:
Apple can be slow and choppy at times. So, if you’re trading options, consider going as close to the money as possible and give yourself some time on the contracts.
🔹 New Buyer in the Market:
Between $199–$206, a new aggressive buyer has stepped in. This player appears to be pressuring the first line of sellers (labeled “beginning of supply”).
🟢 My Expectation:
I expect AAPL to pull back to around $206 before catching a bid. As long as price holds above $199, buyers remain in control. In this range, I anticipate further accumulation by bulls.
🔸 Take Profit Levels:
• First TP: Just before the major selling cluster around $218
• Final TP: Deep inside the seller zone near $223

Apple battles resistance area – Can Earnings Turn It Around?Shares in Apple Inc. (symbol ‘AAPL’) gained back a large percentage of the losses incurred at the beginning of the second quarter. The company’s earnings report for the fiscal quarter ending June 2025 is set to be released on Thursday, 31st of July, after market close. The consensus EPS is $1,42 compared to $1,40 of the same quarter last year.
2025 is a hard year for the company so far since it lost more than 17% of its share value. The recent minor bullish rally might give some hope for a positive overall result at the end of the year, but the price needs to rise above $260 to be considered a positive year, and the company is still far from this number. Also, the financial image of the company is not looking great with the current ratio at 0.82 as of 31 March 2025. This means that the company is not liquid enough to cover the short-term liabilities with the current assets at hand. The payout ratio (percentage of the total earnings of the company paid out as dividends) is at 15,74% indicating that the company is looking forward to keeping most of its earnings for economic growth/strength, which is a good sign for the overall performance of the company.
On the technical side, the price is testing the resistance area between the upper band of the Bollinger bands and the 50% of the weekly Fibonacci retracement level. The level of $212 is also an inside resistance area of price reaction in early May and early July, making it a strong technical resistance level. The Bollinger bands are quite expande,d showing that there is volatility to support big moves. The Stochastic oscillator is near the extreme overbought level, but it's not in there just yet. On the other hand, the moving averages are still validating an overall bearish trend in the market.
