I've been thinking the same thing. Downside dump seems plausible, taking into account seasonality, EW, projections, volume, etc.

Well, it's a zero sum game. Your best day/trade is someone elses worst day/trade. I try to be aware and respectful. Again, my sincerest apology!
I do that and my chart shows 1066.50. Does that sound right?

An honorable goal my friend.

OK,
Wasn't trying to stop the conversation. realizing I'm jinxed, a precarious situation here(3 1/2 hours left). Got to do something. Break that 1060 level without a new high would be bad. Might get a pause or new low 1057 area.
Runup into close and AAPL's earnings would be bad(maybe close to closing high from Monday?).
Trading inbetween? Good.
1min chart for me here and watching AAPL and my back myself. So far triple descending highs, not trying for converts,just telling those that mind em. Maybe they'll put in a new set before a drop.
1058 50% S/R so far.
I have to admit I have never really taken the time to study volume at price (volume profile) and I have been spending alot of time on it over the past couple of days.

right now, I sm looking at natural hours (60 minute bars ending on the hour, meaning that the first one of the rth is only 30 minutes because it ends on the hour),

What I am looking at is a 'b' formation in the volume profile. The bar right now is also an inside bar. Yesterday, similar 'b' style bar was created in the bar that completed at 2:00pm, subsequently (next bar) when price exceeded the H of the 'b' bar, a leg up unfolded.

I am watching this formation now to see what happens today (provided that the current bar remains an inside bar and maintains its 'b' shaped volume profile).
Thanks for the posts Bruce.

I'll leave you alone to gets some rest up for tomorrow.
