Apple Stock Forecast

Stronger technical forecast for Apple stock price after Tuesday trading.
(Updated on Apr 23, 2024)

AAPL Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.15%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Apple stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $167.84 and $170.81. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Apple stock

Apple finds support from accumulated volume at $165.84 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $2.12 between high and low, or 1.29%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.41%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $157.41 (-5.69%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 2 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (AAPL) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 24th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect Apple Inc. to open at $166.29, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $163.75 and $170.05, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.15 (+/-1.89%) up or down from last closing price. If Apple Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.77% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $165.84 (0.64%) than the resistance at $171.37 (2.68%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..

Is Apple Inc. stock A Buy?

Apple holds several negative signals and this should be a sell candidate, but due to the general chance for a turnaround situation it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Sell to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.

Current score: -0.686 Hold/Accumulate Upgraded
