AAPL Bearish?Apple's weekly chart closed with a shooting star candle, while smaller timeframes are still holding at trendline support.
As a major weight in the Nasdaq, Apple's performance has a notable impact on the index. Looking at its weekly chart, the stock broke out of the June-to-October consolidation range earlier this year, kicking off a strong upward trend. However, last week's shooting star candle, combined with the price being far above the 50-week moving average, is a signal worth noting. Historically, similar candles have appeared during pullbacks following Apple's major rallies.
Shifting to the 2-hour chart, we see the price steadily climbing within a trend channel, maintaining a healthy uptrend. As long as it stays above the 252 level, which aligns with both the trendline and the 50-period moving average, the short-term trend remains intact, and the broader uptrend is still in place.
The key level to watch is 252. A break below this level could lead to a dip toward the 246.5 area, which aligns with prior lows. Only if these supports fail would we see a more significant pullback in play.
