Apple Tops $1 Trillion Valuation with New Price High — What’s Next?
Apple (AAPL) has kissed a new all-time high above 207, where the company is valued at $1 trillion. So far, the high, as seen on the chart linked to below, represents about a 1.9% overshoot of the upper channel boundary line of the February- August bullish price channel.

In that the upper channel boundary has contained all the prior rally peaks for the past six months, the upside penetration of that barrier should be significant EITHER because it will put a lid on additional sustained strength, OR because AAPL is so powerful that the upper boundary is no longer viable, and, instead, is triggering a new, more bullish trajectory going forward.
