Chart of the Day
Today’s Chart of the Day was shared in a note by John Roque of 22V Research (@daChartLife). It’s a weekly chart of Apple ($AAPL) over the past seven years. Apple has held up better than most FAANG stocks this year, however, John points out that it could be the bear market’s next victim. The stock closed at a fresh 52-week low today as it sliced through key support around $130. It’s below a declining 40-week moving average, and it’s already broken down relative to the S&P 500. These are the exact same conditions that existed in stocks like $ARKK, $TSLA, $META, and $AMZN before they began to accelerate lower. John’s next downside target is $100, which is about 20% lower from here.

Stocks down…bonds down.

2022 was hella painful, but necessary.
Bulls are built on the shoulders of bears.
Society is resilient, humans are smart, and we’ll eventually rebuild.
