The price of Apple (ticker: AAPL) currently offers an interesting technical scenario on the daily chart.
Ichimoku Cloud Support in Play
As you can see, bulls recently rebounded from the Ichimoku Cloud, which is formed by the Leading Span A (light green at $213.71) and the Leading Span B (light orange at $213.37). Coupled with the underlying trend pointing north since breaking out higher in June, many Ichimoku Traders will consider the rebound from the Ichimoku Cloud a bullish signal.
However, while the above may be enough for some traders to consider long positions (buy), additional confirmation can be found in price closing above the Base Line (red at $216.62) yesterday. Another means of helping to confirm a price move would be the Conversion Line (blue at $210.80) crossing above the Base Line.
Price Direction
Having seen price respond to the Ichimoku Cloud support area and price action close above the Base Line, this could be enough to prompt further action from buyers. With that said, should the Conversion Line cross above the Base line, it would help validate recent upside pressure and likely tempt further buying.
