Technical analyst: Apple may plummet another 29%

“One technical analyst is seeing even more pain coming for Apple,” Stephanie Yang reports for CNBC.

“Apple has fallen more than 4 percent in 2016, as concerns over iPhone orders and shipments weigh on investor sentiment,” Yang reports. “Looking at the charts, Rich Ross of Evercore ISI said several technical indicators will also pose challenges to Apple’s share price, which may fall as much as 29 percent from its Wednesday levels.”

“At a minimum, Apple may test the low $90 level, Ross said. However, following the drop from its highs in 2015, he sees an even steeper potential fall to $72,” Yang reports. “Long term, Ross is still bullish on Apple. However, with no new products in the pipeline for months, he recommends stepping away from the shares for now.”

MacDailyNews Take: Regardless of what the charts foresee, as per all of this “concern” about Apple: Water is dry, pigs can fly, and politicians care about you.

    1. I become quite concerned when I hear people doing such foolish things to buy Apple stock. I heard a lot of investors went under water during 2012-2013 for buying Apple stock. Same with 2008-2009 or so. Some people seem to love taking big risks on “sure things.” There’s nothing sure about Apple or the stock market. The big investors don’t care because they’ve got plenty of money but small retail investors can easily be ruined. I like Apple as a company but I sure know they’re not going to protect me from losing money.

      I had thought Apple wasn’t going to go lower than $110 or so, but boy, was I ever wrong. It’s P/E is well into the 10.x range which is rather low for a profitable tech company.

      1. Ever heard the adage “buy low sell high”? That’s how most people make money in stocks.

        Apple’s financial metric is fantastic and has been through all the recent financial crises. Just because the market is freaking out does it mean you should too.

    1. Since the Chinese currency is being devalued and chinese manufacturers are hungry for work, the price of Apple’s Chinese-manufactured parts will go down, driving AAPL’s profits up 😉

      1. You are not clear on how currency changes work. As the yuan loses value:

        1) The cost of producing ALL iPhones, and almost everything else Apple produces goes down, making Apple more profitable worldwide.

        2) If Apple does not raise iPhone prices in terms of yuan within China, then both the price and cost drop in dollars proportionally, and Apple maintains its margins there without doing anything.

        The drop in Yuan is neutral or a win for any company that produces products in China. That is why it was devalued.

        1. Not for the Chinese. The several billion Chinese. The whopping Chinese market that was supposed to save Apple. The devalued yuan only makes Apple products more expensive for the natives.

          Secondly, with economics souring worldwide the vast majority of people will be less inclined to purchase nonessential products.

    1. End of closing numbers via Bloomberg
      AAPL down 4.22% to $96.45
      GOOG down 2.32% to $726.39
      MSFT down 3.48% to $52.17

      Market cap gap between AAPL and GOOG narrows to about $31B from $43B yesterday.

  1. Apple weathered the last Deep Recession/Depression of 2008. Apple is not the Stock Market.

    The Stock Market is where cattle are taken to be butchered. The Stock Market may collapse (along with the rest of the world’s economy), but Apple will survive. It has a solid financial world-wide base.

  2. I think it’ll go down 8%, then up 14%, then down 27%, then up 4%, then down 11%, then up 7% – then it’ll be the shape of Massachusetts. A classic Massachusetts pattern.
