AAPL – Apple Computer (Last:178.18)

Bulls appeared tapped out as the week ended, unable to fill the gap formed by Thursday’s air pocket. To make matters worse, the stock settled just beneath the lower end of the gap range, implying the DaBoyz couldn’t even mau-mau shorts into displaying a little fear. This will be problematic when index futures begin to trade Sunday evening, since the broad averages weren’t exactly looking frisky either. Expect more slippage to the 164.90 target of the reverse pattern shown. Getting short is certain to be tricky, since everyone else will be trying to do it too.
