I don't see a bear flag (but I do see one on the 60 min chart,
the last 5 hrs). I see a breakout on 12/31/12 from a
downtrend. The next day (1/2/13) it opened very near the
50dma and turned back down but so far has held the low of 12/27/12.
Note that although the selling was pretty sharp on Friday it
stopped at the 20dma. Dan Fitzpatrick is looking for a higher
low imminently, and he will be going long. Perhaps we get an
up candle closing above the 20. If the volume is decent it
might be worth a long. Stop then would be below the higher
low that would form (either of last Friday or the coming days).
The Bollinger bands are just beginning to pinch together, so a
move in one or the other direction is coming.
I don't see a bear
AAPL a potential Bear flag?
