Apple is trading near its support, which is good. It indicates that the bulls won’t give up so easily. Now it would be a good time for a reaction. If a stock is close to its support, the Risk/Reward ratio is usually very good, and this attracts buyers. However, if the support at the black line is lost, it will attract a short-seller and it will stop the buyers. We could see a bearish run if this happens.
StocksCM Analyst Chris Rice indicated that Apple is in quite a dangerous situation now. After hitting a target of $144 it seems to be struggling a lot in that region, which means it is an important point of stock. He also indicated that Apple is trading between the 21 ema and the support at $ 114, meaning the bulls can’t defeat the resistance at the 21 ema, but the bears can’t defeat the support at the purple line. But since the volume is decreasing and the 21 ema is starting to point downwards, it seems the bears are getting the upper hand. If bulls are serious on Apple, we must see a reaction quickly, because the range between the 21 ema and the support is getting tighter. Either way, the momentum is bearish, and if Apple loses its support at the purple line, the gaps will be our next target. But I’m skeptical about a new crash, so, it is a little too soon to jump into any conclusion.
