Attributing a bounce in Apple shares comments from Tom DeMark, Josh Brown of Fusion Analytics said Wednesday that the company needs to hit these targets to avoid a stock meltdown.
How to trade Apple shares was anybody's guess.
"I think right now you're in the dark," Brown said. "You have technical to work with and not fundamentals. A lot of the technicians were talking about where support should be. Most of them were saying somewhere around the $460s. We didn't get there. We had this DeMark bounce because of what he said on 'Fast Money' last night."
On Tuesday, DeMark of Market Studies said that several factors were converging to signal a bottom in Apple stock, forecasting "a very strong rally of at least 22 percent."
Brown didn't hazard a guess as to Apple's stock in the near-term, but ahead of earnings next week, he offered a milestone.
"I don't know how long that holds, but what I can tell you is, they don't come in with over $13 a share a week from today and at least $54.5 million in revenue, this is going to revisit those $480 levels and much worse," he said.
