Adventures in Technical Analysis, Apple Edition
Every so often, one comes across a piece of technical analysis mumbo-jumbo so glorious in its meaninglessness that one can only stand back in admiration, as though it were a Leonardo painting or perhaps a magnificent skyscraper. Yesterday, Mark Gongloff found a true classic of the genre:
Tuesday’s Large Range Extension on substantial volume left a buy signal on Apple. On the heels of Monday’s slight break of the afore mentioned triangle, Tuesday’s convincing breakout above the top of the pennant triggered a Triangle Pendulum Buy Signal.
Note that the upper end of a Parallel Channel is in the low 130s.
This Square of Nine chart shows how 50, 83 and 123 resonate...
I'm particularly impressed by the Square of Nine charts (isn't that a character in some Star Trek spin-off?), if only because they really are indistinguishable from astrology. If only these things had been combined with a double evening star, or an exclamation point on a doji star – but then there would be nothing left to look forward to, I suppose.
