Apple Due for Profit-Taking

Apple (AAPL) has rocketed into a French Curve upside vertical assault right to its upper channel zone between 480.00 and 488.00, which should put a lid on the current up-leg from the Jan 24 low at 419.00.

Allowing for a 1% overshoot beyond the upper channel line at 488 -- which puts it into the 492-94 area -- my work argues that some profit-taking in AAPL is warranted "up here."

A decline should press the stock towards 460.00.
