AAPL - baby bull flag

Apple (AAPL) failed to melt higher with the main market this week, closing Friday -0.7% @ $453. Price formation though is a rather clear baby bull flag. First upside target is the big $500 level, and then the (still declining) 200 day MA @ $532.


AAPL, daily


Summary

Suffice to say, AAPL remains extremely under-valued relative to the main market.

Baring a major break lower in the indexes - and that seems only viable if QE is terminated by the Fed at the next FOMC of June'19, AAPL looks set to break back into the 500s this June.

How AAPL copes when/if it hits the 200 day MA will be VERY illuminating for both AAPL..and the broader market. A few weeks above $550, and then the question would become 'Can AAPL take out the Sept'2012 high of of the $700s?'.

The wider economy being considered, I'd have to think the answer to that is ...No!
