As HR pros know, hiring in one country is hard enough. So let this free global hiring guide give you the tools you need to avoid global hiring headaches.
Today we will be covering...
Today, as a part of a series of Magnificent 7 posts, we will review AAPL.
As of January 13, 2026, silver futures margin rises to 9% of contract value. This is the third margin increase within a month. It can cause some selling by overleveraged traders.
AAPL Daily Chart Cycles
In the summer of 2025, we made a couple of bullish calls on AAPL and provided a cycle price projection target of above 260.
AAPL delivered.
Subsequently, we called a top in early December. See, e.g., my AAPL YouTube video.
The daily chart cycle composite indicates cycle troughs in early March and mid-August.
We will do a deep dive, including cycle price targets and Elliott Wave analysis, in the Pro newsletter.

What’s Next for the Stock Market?
Slightly shortened and edited repost of Sunday’s summary, as there is not much new to add:

Looks like a distribution pattern with an upside bias.
Buy the dip, sell the rip has been working nicely for short-term traders, but the choppiness was annoying for investors. . .
