Apple exploding...needs a close over $205 to really send it. But was heavy all day and then boom, some weird AI news came out about it and powered through it's emas and trendline resistance.

Normally I would trim some here but just going to let what I have work. Fairly healthy position...

Apple now back up to $210, which is nearly 8% above its price of 2 weeks ago after having gone so long with underperforming the Nasdaq.

Sold 1/2 of my Apple here into $213. I had way too much from $200...I was actually buying AAPU at $21 and sold at $23.50. Will let the rest work...

Apple rejected at $213...I do think it gets over but I am going to wait on adding here, still half my position on.

Apple with a powerful weekly setting up...trying to reclaim all of it's weekly emas which it hasn't done in 4 months. That 213-214 level would be big level to power through.

Also with a weekly macd cross, which is really nice. It had one in May 2024 and see what resulted.

If it pushes through will wait for an inevitable back test of $213'ish to add some back on. Still have half my shares from $200.

Apple legit….still long but haven’t added. Will be looking to add next couple of weeks. Weekly with a sharp macd flip. Powerful weekly candle reclaiming all emas.

Tricky part it market is very extended.

This market just looks amazingly strong. I came in this year bearish and I missed most of the Feb/March fall into bear market territory but I missed some of the ramp back up. But all in all it's been a great year. I've been back in bull bias mode for weeks now and everything is working.

These big V rally recoverys whether they take 18 months or a few weeks tend to be very strong. Hoping we get a back test of $610-612'ish in mid-July but we shall see.

I do expect a typical seasonal correction starting anywhere from mid/end Aug-Oct.

Apple right into 213-214. Will see how this level responds. Its rejected this price several times the past few months. If it closes over 214 I will add shares for gap fill to 224 but if it pulls back then looking for 208-209. Still have half my shares on from 200.

This isn't a buy the dip candle on Apple...just vomitted today with more tariff news and Tesla weighing everything down. It's about to engulf the past 2 green candles. Still holding half my shares from $200 so will see how tomorrow responds...I am not going to watch it back up to $200 again. But I don't want to just exit after one red day.

I haven't done anything today, just letting a few longs rot...everything so heavy from the open.

My plan was to add between 208-209 and got that today and I didn't add. But, this is a bearish candle those emas look tight. Let's see...still holding.

Nevermind that was bad info.

Year to date port of charleston is down 91% (not a typo) in cruise passenger traffic and ~23% in vehicle port traffic.
 
Something else to be aware of is PMI inflation is still very high. Much higher than our overseas counterparts. Their inflation is lower than ours all the while they have lower interest rates. Ours is entirely tariff driven at this time. This PMI rise should be hitting CPI indices now through the end of the year.

I did add back some Apple shares at $208 mid today. Right at it's 8dema. I will hold the shares as long as it stays close above 8/20dema. It probably needs a few more days to consolidate 208-212.

Started a position in INTC today....it's been banging on those 8/20demas and then boom'd today. I haven't traded INTC in so long I can't even remember. They have a new CEO...INTC foundry could be huge and it's only a $100B market cap with $55B in annual revenue. Any return to growth this stock will double easy but that's a big IF...they got a lot of problems but a lot of potential.

I haven't traded crypto in a while but market is so bulilsh I put on BITX a few days at $55'ish. BITX tracks BTC and it just broke out to new high. Going to let this run and see. Crypto breakouts usually rip hard...

sc-2.pngsc-1.png
 
I also put on FETH (tracks Ethereum) yesterday on that break of $26 at $26.50...it's nice you can buy these ETFS that track crypto, I can buy in my normal brokerage and don't have to deal with the crypto only brokerages.

I put on Google today at $176 mid....it looks ready to go. Like Apple it's well off highs...it's had a lot of silly headlines that keeps knocking it down. But that looks so appealing....

And I finally put some HOOD on at $93 this week, a few buys to build a position, not nice support at $91'ish...it looks explosive. Retail has been front running all these moves and bidding it up overnight and pre-market. This probably opens up above $100 tomorrow and then it's gone.

Like I said I have too many longs on so why I am not over ticked about Apple. This is the most longs on I've had all year and that probably tells you we are ready for a correction, I am starting to get a little over confident. Mid/end of July can be a bit rocky so will see but I think a real corrections comes in Sept. FOMC is going to cut rates and market is going to front run that so...dips will be bought by market until.

Btc explodes higher. This is an 8 month long consolidation breakout.

I bought some ibit a few weeks ago, wish I would have bought more. At least the Canada announcement does not seem to have impacted this one.
Yeah, my BITX/ FETH will help mitigate this big gap down for other longs. But we’ve seen this many time…headlines that bring a weak Friday and magically gets resolved over the weekend and then we get a big gap up on Monday.

I closed my BITX here at $64.4...from $55. That's enough for me, it's a big move in a week. I will leave my FETH (Ethereum) on and working. I would love to see BTC back test 112000 and I would probably add back some BITX.

MRVL on watch for next week...2 red weeks after a big move and that $70-$75 is strong confluence zone.

Weekly chart looks really solid...it pushes through $80 and opens up $120-125. Of course it will take some time to push through $80 but $70 should be nice support.
