If you're bullish on the market and economy overall, Apple is firming right below the resistance area under its ATH set less than a month ago on October 21 closing at $236.48. That high was set despite a steady net distribution since July! As of last nights' close, Apple hasn’t given up much ground closing at $225. For sure big sellers are camped out around $236–$231, but the fact that buyers are still soaking up the supply is interesting. We're seeing buyers bid up the lows: August 5 at $196, September 18 at $217.5, and November 4 at $219.7.
Short term, the only question is: who are the sellers? Could be Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett’s been unloading Apple for months now, reportedly taking advantage of low tax rates—at least, that’s the line he’s putting out there. Yet, someone is absorbing all that supply for more than 4 months.
So, if you’re looking for a bullish setup, keep an eye on how buyers handle that $231–$236 resistance. Apple’s price behavior here is saying something, despite major distribution...
Full Disclosure: If there’s one stock I’ll never, ever short, it’s Apple. Why? Because, like it or not, the market can’t make a move without Apple leading the way. Apple isn’t just a stock—it’s the most important stock in the universe. Now that you know how biased I am, navigate with care!
