Stock-Market Bellwether AAPL Is on a Tear

AAPL, a key stock market bellwether, has been on a tear this week and tripped a buy signal on Tuesday at 153.36. It will face crucial resistance at 157.57, and, depending on how well buyers do when they take on this midpoint Hidden Pivot, we could see reliable evidence that they intend on pushing the stock as high as 165.97, which would be a new record.

    With a cash stash of 261 billion dollars, Apple is the one stock with a climbing price that makes old school financial sense.
    Marty Zweig kind of sense, God rest his soul.

    You have to hand it to Apple, they have a cult like following willing to pay whatever price Apple throws out there!
    Personally, I love ebay refurbished desktops and laptops for $100 a piece.
    I bought an Acer Chrome book for $100 five years ago, and it never lets me down!
    I just replaced the battery for $12, no tax, free shipping from ebay!
    But that’s just the Connnecticut Yankee in me!

    God bless Apple, thay sure seem like the real deal, which is refreshing in this day and age!

    Something…truly wrong today.

    Rapone’s Twitter handle is “Punk Proletarian,” under the name “Commie Bebop.” Law Newz verified that this is reportedly Rapone’s account, and said Rapone was in the field until Friday and unable to answer detailed questions.

    The U.S. Army Public Affairs Office did not respond to an inquiry before press time about Rapone and the photos he posted.

    Rapone also posted a second photo of himself in uniform, and he is seen wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt underneath his jacket. Guevara was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary who believed the poor people of Latin America would be saved by communism.

    Communism is a political theory penned by Karl Marx that advocates class war and a society where the lower class would revolt and take down the upper class, destroying capitalism and bringing about socio-economic emancipation where all property is publicly owned and people are paid based on their skills and needs.

    09272017
    Today we are seeing inharmonious action in breathe towards the downside in the advance decline process. This is taking place near and at the +600 failure swing level in the Ratio Adjusted MSI, along with the raw MSI being near the +3000 level.

    This is suggesting that weak breathe is confirming that liquidity is leaving the equity market.

    Important 7 year cycles are in play at the 09282017 date, the range of trading days can be as much as 8-12 trading days on each side.

    This high will be an important high, and could meet latter on with a same high or slightly higher high.

    To confirm that we are moving towards this major high we must have the 4% rule come into play, as the major indexes moving in 5-7 trading days from high to low by 4% in price.

    This will place the market ‘in the turn’, closing the quarter at the highs and coming into October as the spike or top within the 1st week is the alerted time frame.

    The high itself may have a decline of 10-15% in a 4-6 week time frame.

    This will confirm that the ‘barn door is open’ towards volatility and the turn has begun in earnest, as the MSI moves towards zero and creates a ‘sell capitulation signal’.

    This inharmonious action in breathe today is an internal flag that the market ‘is capped’.

    Inverse markets:

    GC
    SI
    ZB ZN
    EC
    AD
    BP
    CD
    JY

    These markets should be carefully observe to restart their upward trends.
    DX lower.

    09282017
    Observing the collapsing NFI under zero on a all time high day for the SPX suggests looking for a major turn is in order.

    A major turn in the stock market will bring GC down very fast, towards large support levels then GC will dislocate away from the equity markets.

    The same with ZB/ZN, the inverse currency markets can move towards the recent trend upward from the turn itself.

    Moving into the new quarter must be observe very carefully as the market is set for slingshot downward move in 2 times the recent points upward from the 08212017 low point (chart inserted). This date and level should be seen as a door hinge of sorts for the turning point.

    Along with the breathe process in the RAMSI and Raw MSI readings the market can open its barn door and move towards a MSI ‘sell capitulation levels’, for a further and larger turn towards a bear market.
