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 $144.38 and $146.40. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, November 18, 2022, and so far it has fallen -5.11%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Apple finds support from accumulated volume at $142.48 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
