Stock Waves Charts of the Day: KO, BMRN, MCD & AAPL
By
Today's Stock Waves Charts of the Day video covers Coca Cola (KO), BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (BMRN), McDonald's Corporation (MCD), and Apple Inc. (AAPL).
KO appears to be completing an a-b-c down move in circle wave b from the Nov high, setting up for a move higher in circle wave c on the chart. This chart actually performed fairly well in the initial downturn when the market topped in Sep & Oct last year, and I see the potential for the same set-up here in circle wave c of 3 with the market potentially approaching a top.
BMRN has a decent long potential, and possibly is in a 1-2 start to the c wave up off the Dec low. The micro 3rd wave up of 5 waves in this c wave has a target between 116.30 and around 123.
MCD also performed relatively well when the market topped. Wave a and b of the 5th wave higher are potentially in place, and may now be in a 1-2 start of the c wave up. A break below the low reached last month near 173 would invalidate the 1-2 count. As long it holds 177.65, then the stock should be good to turn back up in wave 3 of c next.
Moving to AAPL, I saw a few comments that suggest that because we're starting to exceed the prior Feb high that this is a breakout in progress and a reason the market can continue to drag higher. While we can see a higher high compared to one that was hit at at the beginning of Feb, it was likely just a small extension of wave c of a, and this move up from the Feb 7 low being an ending diagonal 5th. It may stretch a little bit higher in the 4th and 5th of the ending diagonal to complete c of a, but I wouldn't rely on this being a reason the market is going to blast off to new all-time highs.
