The World’s Most Valuable Stock has been inching toward our bull-market price objectives at a funereal pace. For quite a while, we’ve been using a target at 143.97, but we might just as well fixate on the somewhat more modest one at 140.06 that is shown in the chart. The pattern that produced it has been loosely confirmed by the spike to within an inch of its 133.92 midpoint pivot. Notice that the nasty selloff that followed did not breach any prior lows. That tells us that even when AAPL is having a really bad week, bears still can’t put it away. The stock appears bound most immediately for 134.66, but there could be a struggle first around 129.62, the midpoint pivot. We should pay close attention in any event, since this stock is the most important bellwether of them all. _______ UPDATE (May 5, 2:17 p.m.): With AAPL getting pasted today, down $2.80 at the so-far low, the S&Ps are off 20 points and the Dow a relatively modest 100 points.
