After the S&#038;P 500 sank at Wednesday&#8217;s open, it seemed that the rally in volatility going into that day had some (bearish) meaning. Instead, the S&#038;P 500 staged one of its classic sharp bounces off its lows of the day. But before bulls could get excited, the index sank into a weak close, ending the day near flat. A whole lot of huffing and puffing for nothing. It was a day of indecision as the S&#038;P 500 fell back from 50DMA resistance once again.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15656\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15656\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121205_SP500.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121205_SP500.png\" alt=\"Lots of excitement for the S&amp;P 500 ends in a day of indecision\" title=\"Lots of excitement for the S&amp;P 500 ends in a day of indecision\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121205_SP500.png 500w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121205_SP500-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15656\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lots of excitement for the S&P 500 ends in a day of indecision<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>T2108 drifted upward and is back to its highs for the current rally off oversold conditions. At current levels, it is still not providing directional clues. <\/p>\n<p>Part of the indecision of the index was likely created by the collapse in Apple (AAPL). AAPL had its worst performance in four years as it plunged 6.4%. While volume was very high, it did not exceed volume from the dramatic bottom on Nov 16th, it barely surpassed volume from July&#8217;s earnings gap down, and it matched volume from AAPL&#8217;s first retest of its 200DMA on October 26th. In <a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2012\/12\/05\/chart-review-aapl-pcln-si\/\" target=\"_blank\">a recent chart review<\/a> I warned that AAPL had hit important resistance. I bought a put spread in anticipation of resistance holding. That put spread soared in value on Wednesday, and it was interesting to watch it increase even as AAPL struggled to stabilize. That increase was from an increase in implied volatility, and it told me to expect even lower prices on the underlying stock.<\/p>\n<p>After AAPL swooned passed a 3% loss on the day, I figured it was time to cash in the chips. Aghast that the stock managed to print a 5% loss, I gathered my wits and decided to start buying call options. I doubled up on weeklies expiring Friday and finished the day with a January 585\/600 call spread at the close &#8211; I picked $600 as the short end because it coincides with resistance. In other words, with a high likelihood that AAPL will get pinned at $600 on any subsequent rallies, the call spread will tend to achieve its maximum value toward or at expiration.<\/p>\n<p>A close-up of AAPL&#8217;s chart shows how neatly resistance held&#8230;and how dangerous the stock looks now that it has wiped away most of its rally from the November lows.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15657\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15657\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121205_AAPL.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121205_AAPL.png\" alt=\"Apple collapses again\" title=\"Apple collapses again\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121205_AAPL.png 500w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/121205_AAPL-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15657\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Apple collapses again<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>What makes Apple so dangerous now is that Wednesday&#8217;s selling demonstrates that the weak hands, the panic sellers, and\/or the profit-takers are not yet finished. The November lows are in immediate danger of breaking. The presumed explanation for the selling was an increase in margin requirements by a single stock broker. If that is indeed the case, then Apple should rally sharply within a week as the overhang dissipates. I will be unloading my call options into such a rally (but keeping my shares). A Seeking Alpha author theorizes that the increase in margin requirements could not possibly completely explain the sell-off &#8211; see &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/1047121-apple-s-margin-hike-sell-off-should-you-care\" target=\"_blank\">Apple&#8217;s Margin Hike Sell-Off: Should You Care?<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As you can imagine, I will be watching AAPL even more closely than usual!<\/p>\n<p>I conclude with one more chart review that will eventually require its own post. Freeport-McMoRan Copper &#038; Gold Inc. (FCX) lost 16% on the day after announcing a major acquisition. The stock closed perfectly on top of its QE2 price. Given how well this line of support has worked, I was compelled to nibble on shares again.
