Seeing a lot of similar charts. Coiled with weakness over last few days but still holding onto longer uptrend.
XLK - the SPDR Tech sector ETF s in firm uptrend both on macro and on micro perspective, and it is the best-looking US sector ETF from the SPDR range. On long term perspective price has broken back into the 5 and 10 year uptrend, trading above upper first standard deviation from 5 and 10 year means respectively On long term perspective price has recently broken...
XLK has been consolidating within a 3-week range between 42.97 (July 23, 2015 high) and 41.83 (August 7, 2015 low).

Long until $120 then trim. Trailing stops currently moved up to mid $90's. Looks like AAPL could run sideways towards trend at approx $115 then proceed higher. Looks like profit taking on 2014.11.21.Fri. No supply signals at this time to concern me. I will attach weekly & monthly charts to this thread as a comment.
