Stock Of The Day: Is Apple The Alpha Stock?
Different stocks or sectors lead the market at different times. Sometimes, things can be very confusing. Traders don't know what to watch. The market can offer a variety of seemingly contradictory signals.
不同的股票或部门在不同的时候引领市场。有时候会非常混乱，交易员不知道该看什么。市场会提供一系列看似矛盾的信号。
But sometimes the market is easy to read. The leadership comes down to just one or two stocks or sectors. And now is one of those times. That's why Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is our Stock of the Day.
但有时候市场很容易看懂。领袖只有一两支股票或部门。现在就是这样的时候。这就是为什么苹果股份有限公司(NASDAQ: AAPL)是我们的今日之股。
There is a good chance that whatever it does, the broader market will follow.
有很大的机会，无论苹果股份有限公司做什么，整个市场也会跟随。
As you can see on the chart, the shares appear to be breaking out. This means they have moved higher and through important resistance.

Breakouts aren't just symbolic. They illustrate an important dynamic. It shows that the traders and investors who created the resistance with their sell orders are out of the way. They have either finished or canceled their orders.
突破不仅仅是象征性的，还阐明了一个重要的动态。它表明，通过卖出订单创造支撑位的交易员和投资者已经离开。他们要么完成了，要么取消了他们的订单。
With this supply taken out of the market, the stage could be set for a move higher. When new buyers come into the market, they will have a hard time finding someone to buy shares from.
随着这些供应退出市场，舞台可能被为上涨做好准备。当新的买家进入市场时，他们将很难找到一个可以出售股票的人。
As a result, they will need to bid premiums to the prices of the previous trades. This action can force the AAPL into a new uptrend. And being 7% of the S&P 500 Index, this could have a bullish effect on the entire market.
因此，他们将需要对之前交易的价格出价溢价。这种操作可能会迫使AAPL进入新的上涨趋势。而AAPL占S&P 500指数的7%，这可能会对整个市场产生看涨的影响。
There is a reason why there has been resistance around the $218 level. It was support in late July. Sometimes levels that had been support can convert into resistance due to buyer's remorse.
在218美元左右的位置出现阻力的原因是有道理的。它在7月底是支撑位。有时候，因为买家的后悔，原来的支撑位会变成阻力位。
Many of the traders who bought AAPL while it was at support decided they made a mistake when the shares dropped below their buy price. Some vow to get out. But they will only do so if they can exit their positions without losing any money.
AAPL股价在支撑位购买的许多交易员会认为当股票价格低于他们的买入价格时犯了一个错误。一些人发誓要出局。但只有在不亏钱的情况下才会这么做。
So, when the price rallied and got back to what had been support, these remorseful buyers placed sell orders. These orders can create resistance like they did here.
因此，当价格反弹并回到原来的支撑位时，这些后悔的买家会放置卖单。这些订单会像这里一样产生阻力。
If Apple can hold above this resistance, it could lead the entire market higher. Like an alpha dog is the leader of a pack, Apple could be the alpha stock that the rest follow.
如果苹果能够在这个阻力位以上持有，它可能会引领整个市场走上更高的水平。就像一只优秀的狗是领袖的角色，一样，苹果可能是其他人追随的股票之一。
