Friends,

As I was building a few charts with predictive analyses and forecasts for AAPL, GOOG and MSFT (The top 3 leaders in this $XLK holding (Source: ), I thought I should just as well chart it. The overall outlook is bullish, however, we have concerns for the short-term outlook based on the analyses of these top-3 constituents.

For instance, AAPL had initially produced a bearish signal in the shorter-term, only to produce an early bullish reversal pending confirmation. Yet, the long-term has a pending bearish market reversal confirmation. We expect the shorter-term signals to provide early directional indications, and based on what we receive from our proprietary strategy and signals, we will continue to provide the relevant interpretation of the charts - Here is the chart for AAPL: .

In contrast, GOOG contradicted a short-term bearish outlook we had initially interpreted. However, within a few days, GOOG carved new structure highs and at this point, we are expecting a bullish market confirmation signal in the short-term to add further support to the bullish market reversal confirmation signal we received out of the longer-term analysis. Here is the charts with bullish targets:

Finally, we looked at MSFT. From a mid-January low near 34.63, MSFT has thrived to climb its way back up towards our overhead resistance levels. As it continues to do so, both our short-term and long-term proprietary strategy and forecasting signals remain in a early bearish market reversal stance with a pending bearish market reversal confirmation, which we expect to be first expressed at the shorter-term level, if it ever occurred.

OVERALL:
XLK is a Bull, but a bruised one. While GOOG has the stamina of a horny beast, its accomplices are not as energetic. AAPL is the second most promising bull, so to speak, whereas MSFT represent the weak link in this technology trio. Question is whether the bearish downturn of one may weight down on the mass psychology and bring the other two down with it.
