AAPL (smaller time frame)Please see AAPL chart posted before this one from few days ago*
Still holding small long position. Things I'm watching to adjust / add to my position:
1. Risky: potential small short scalp trade (I entered buy Jan 15 120 put / sold 117.50 put) for cost of $84; stop loss if break high of day of $124.57)
2. Price is consolidating just below the high of 124.57; if goes below $123.41, will watch to see if potential opportunity to add to bullish longs (and exit of small scalp trade above if able to generate a few bucks profit)
3. If below $122, will watch for support line in white to hold. My key low to invalidate adding to any more bullish longs is if price goes below $121.99.
This is just a small, maybe one or two day hold trade regarding my scalp.
Again, this is just a potential smaller time frame chart to watch. If, going off previous apple chart post, price stays above the TriW C wave of $121.99, I will lean bullish still and look to add another small bullish long if I can get in below $123.41, watching for break above $125 to maintain my longs.

AAPL can see new lows before the election & earnings $105 TARGETApple stock has been lagging compared to a lot of techs and it's influence on the Nasdaq market is pulling a lot of other stocks lower. We do have earnings coming up at the end of the month of October so that should be a very indicative sign of where this market wants to go.
The 100-day EMA is super attractive for institutional buying and price is not far away from it, we could see the price tag that area and then see it inch back up.
We have to wait for the election to pass to get a more decisive and concise move in either direction. There was a lot of downside volume at the beginning of the drop was strong but it's stalling out so it won't be a clear drop to $105 but slower.
Overall why we think this is moving to the downside is the most recent high at $125 was due to news that was sold off very easily. This is a much lower high than the $137 we saw post-split. This is indicative of weak buying trying to come into this market, if we see a lower low through $105, that confirms the downtrend.
The $105 level has to hold for the medium term longs to push through $125 and eventually into $135.
