'purely technical' one potential catalyst for the decline is the easiest to explain and understand: it's purely technical. apple has experienced an incredible rally since its last blowout earnings report, leaping from a january 28 close of $115.31 to an all-time closing high on february 23 of $133.00. from a technical standpoint, this week's pullback is healthy for the issue, as the weak longs are eliminated and the long-term shareholders can increase their stakes. thursday's selloff appeared to be a perfect storm created by the previous four days of trading action. along with tight intraday ranges of less than $2.00, the stock put in place a series of four lows within a very well defined area ($128.09 to $128.32) -- a quadruple bottom. related link: a comprehensive preview of apple's 'spring forward' event on wednesday,it posted a close ($128.54) just above that area, as opposed to bouncing and closing further away from the critical support level. thursday's action early in thursday's session, shorter-term traders were conditioned to buy at this level once again, since it had worked on the past four occasions. when a rally did not materialize, they quickly exited the trade and exacerbated the decline beyond the $128.00 level. aggressive traders may have identified the technical breakdown and proceeded to short the issue, accelerating the downward momentum. it's also possible some longer-term players placed protective sell-stop loss orders at this level to lock-in gains from its recent rally. apple is down 1.5 percent on thursday afternoon. disclosure: the author is short apple.
