APPL price is between 4h rising channel (blue), above lower 4h trendline (green) and above lower D trendline (red). With the earning report, I expect volatility, which could potentially bring the price down to the levels of the strong support.

First one is at the lower 4h trendline, at or around 229.38, second is at the lower daily trendline at or around 223.50, the last, third is at the bottom of the 4h channel at or around 218.71.

The play: I plan to get in with 1/5 at 229.40, then buy 2/5 at 223.50 and 2/5 at 218.80. If 218.71 is broken, meaning, next day close beneath this level, that would be the sign of weakness, closing longs and, potentially, entering shorts down to 190ish level.

Hard stop for all entries is at 215.

TP could be at the top of rising 4h channel trendline which currently coincides with the psychological 240 level.
