Apple Stock Rally Keying Off 60 Minute RSI Divergence

bar chart, price analysis, trend analysis, price chartsBy Andrew Nyquist
There’s been plenty of weekend speculation about Apple (AAPL) and it’s late Friday rally. Some are speculating that it’s a lasting bottom, while some are saying that it’s simply false hope. So what is it?

Well, it is a rally, but probably an easier one for traders to game than investors. This is best illustrated looking at the 60 minute vs weekly charts below.

On the 60 minute chart, there was a nice RSI divergence with follow through. As well, the low on Friday punctured the lower channel line and bounced hard. Both signs of short term rally. Looking at the weekly chart below and providing some DeMark setup count overlay, it is easy to see that the stock is oversold (and ready for a rally), but it also indicates this may not be the bottom. The weekly chart is on bar 8 (this week) of a 9 buy setup. The stock needs a new low this week or next to perfect the setup… or it will likely be perfected later. This is a harder concept for non-DeMark followers to gauge.

But, in short, I own the stock and am long for a short term rally (days), but still looking for a new bottom in late November or sometime down the road in December (if the weekly does not perfect soon).
