Please note the following:
• Apple carries a very heavy weighting in indices and, therefore, disproportionately affects the markets.
• Apple’s stock was down on the news that a Chinese court had granted an injunction against Apple selling its products in China in favor of Qualcomm QCOM.
• Apple uses Qualcomm technology. There is a dispute between the two companies, and Apple has been withholding royalties.
• Apple claims that injunction is against products using iOS 11. The current operating system is iOS 12.
• Apple continues to sell its products in China.
• Qualcomm seems to claim that the relevant features are in iOS 12, and selling Apple products is a violation of the injunction, but there is no clarity.
• Apple’s stock was down on the news. As Apple’s stock started bouncing off the lows, as shown on the intraday chart, there was a discussion on TV about a doji forming. A doji is a technical pattern in which the open and close are virtually equal.
• The momo (momentum) crowd money flows temporarily turned extremely positive from negative just prior to the doji mentioned on TV.
• To learn about money flows, please see “Here’s the most recent update on money flows in Nvidia, Apple and Amazon.” Money flows give you an edge.
• As positive commentary on the technicals of Apple’s stock continued on the TV, the stock took off.
• Along with Apple’s stock, the Nasdaq 100 ETF took off because Apple has a heavy weighting in that ETF.
• As the Nasdaq 100 ETF rallied, popular tech stock stocks such as Amazon AMZN, Facebook FB, Netflix NFLX and AMD AMD started moving higher.
