The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days, but is still up by 0.79% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 9 million shares but on falling prices.

UBS Group is very positive to AAPL and gave it a "Buy" rating on May 20, 2021. The price target was set to $155.00.Over the last 30 days, this security got 22 buy, 0 sell, and 11 hold ratings.

The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $124.05 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift.Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 6.67% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $132.32 and $147.77 at the end of this 3-month period.

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Apple stock holds a buy signal from the short-term moving average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term moving average at $130.05. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $126.08. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 months Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, May 12, 2021, and so far it has risen 3.36%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.

Apple finds support from accumulated volume at $121.26 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $2.00 between high and low, or 1.58%. For the last week, the stock has had a daily average volatility of 1.83%.

Apple holds several negative signals and we believe that it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We, therefore, hold a negative evaluation of this stock.
