Apple Elliott Wave view: Final leg of June 15 impulse rally before corrective decline [Video]

Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

Apple (AAPL) continues to extend its advance, breaking to new all‑time highs in a powerful impulsive structure. The short‑term cycle from the June 26, 2026 low remains in progress and is unfolding as a clear five‑wave rally. From that low, wave 1 ended at $288.37, followed by a corrective pullback in wave 2 that completed at $279.85. The stock then resumed higher in wave 3, reaching $315.93, before a modest retracement in wave 4 concluded at $306.95, as reflected in the thirty‑minute chart.

Wave 5 is now in progress, developing with internal subdivision into another five waves. From the wave 4 low, wave ((i)) advanced to $323.45, while the subsequent pullback in wave ((ii)) ended at $311.91. The stock has since resumed higher within wave ((iii)), reinforcing the bullish sequence. As long as the pivot at $306.95 remains intact, the near‑term expectation is for dips to continue finding support. These corrective phases are likely to unfold in 3, 7, or 11 swings, providing opportunities for further upside before the five‑wave rally from the June 26 low reaches completion.

Once the current impulsive cycle concludes, attention will shift toward a larger corrective phase. The anticipated three‑wave pullback should serve to correct the advance from the June 26 low, offering a broader reset in the structure. This outlook highlights both the strength of the ongoing rally and the importance of monitoring key pivots to confirm continuation before the larger correction unfolds.
