Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. 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. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $172.11 and $172.00. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, February 09, 2022, and so far it has fallen -4.20%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

Apple finds support from accumulated volume at $165.30 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
