Maximize Gains with AAPL: Key Levels and Insights for Next Week - Recent Performance: Apple Inc. (AAPL) has shown remarkable resilience in the technology sector, reaching an all-time high of $255 recently. This upward movement underscores the strong investor confidence, driven largely by robust earnings and a promising outlook despite mixed broader market sentiments. - Key Insights: AAPL continues to navigate critical resistance levels effectively. The key price resistance currently stands at $255, and should this level be exceeded, analysts believe the price could target $260. The upcoming iPhone 16 launch is poised to further bolster investor confidence and foster a positive sentiment towards the stock. - Expert Analysis: Market experts maintain a bullish outlook on AAPL, highlighting the importance of maintaining above the $246 support level. If AAPL can hold this critical support, the stock may set itself up for a rally as it targets higher resistance levels. The prevailing sentiment within the tech sector suggests that AAPL, alongside other front-runners like Nvidia, may lead potential breakouts in the near term. - Price Targets: - Next week targets: T1 = $260, T2 = $265 - Stop levels: S1 = $246, S2 = $243 - News Impact: The high anticipation surrounding the launch of the iPhone 16, with expectations of over 90 million units sold, adds a layer of excitement to AAPL’s growth prospects. Additionally, ongoing regulatory scrutiny in the EU could influence market sentiments, making it essential for investors to stay informed about impending developments that may affect stock performance. In conclusion, AAPL is well-positioned for growth, and traders should closely monitor the outlined price targets and support levels as the company gears up for significant product launches and navigates the evolving market landscape.

AAPL Technical Analysis for Tomorrows - Dec.23 1. 1-Hour Timeframe * Current Price: $255.28 * Resistance Levels: * $257.30 (recent high and breakout level) * $260.00 (psychological level and potential target) * Support Levels: * $251.97 (previous breakout zone, now acting as support) * $249.79 (secondary key support level) 2. Key Observations A. Trend and Momentum: * AAPL recently broke out of a descending trendline with strong momentum, signaling bullish strength. * Price action is currently consolidating just below the resistance at $257.30, which will be critical for determining the next move. B. Stochastic Oscillator: * The Stochastic is nearing the overbought zone, suggesting that the stock might see a slight pullback before making another attempt to move higher. C. Volume Analysis: * The breakout was accompanied by a noticeable volume spike, validating the bullish breakout. However, sustained volume will be needed to push past $257.30. 3. Trade Scenarios Bullish Scenario: * Entry: Look for consolidation above $255.00, followed by a breakout of $257.30 with strong volume. * Target: $260.00 (psychological resistance) and potentially higher if momentum sustains. * Stop-Loss: Below $251.97 to limit downside risk. Bearish Scenario: * Entry: If AAPL rejects $257.30 and breaks below $251.97 with increasing volume. * Target: $249.79 (key support zone) and possibly lower. * Stop-Loss: Above $257.30. 4. My Thoughts on AAPL’s Direction Based on the current price action and volume dynamics, I believe AAPL is more likely to test the $257.30 resistance and break higher. The bullish breakout from the descending trendline, combined with strong volume, supports upward momentum. However, with the Stochastic Oscillator nearing overbought levels, we could see a brief pullback before further upside. If $257.30 is broken decisively, $260.00 becomes a realistic short-term target. 5. Key Levels to Watch * Support: $251.97 and $249.79 * Resistance: $257.30 and $260.00 AAPL is displaying strong bullish momentum, and my bias is tilted toward the upside for tomorrow. Keep an eye on the $257.30 resistance level for a breakout or rejection, as this will dictate the next move. Disclaimer: This analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Please trade responsibly and manage your risk accordingly. -------------- Scalping Strategy (Options Trading) Key Observations: * Resistance Levels: * $257.50: Highest Gamma Wall, acting as a strong resistance. * $260.00: Psychological and GEX resistance zone. * Support Levels: * $252.50: 3rd Call Wall (moderate support). * $247.50: HVL (High Volume Level), a major support. Scalping Call Options: * Setup: Enter calls if price consolidates above $257.50 and breaks out with volume confirmation. * Exit Target: $260.00. * Stop-Loss: Below $257.00 to minimize risk.

Long/Short Strategy Long Strategy: * Entry: Look for a breakout above $257.50 with strong volume and bullish momentum. * Target: $260.00 (short-term), $262.50 (extended target). * Stop-Loss: Below $256.00 to protect against reversal. Why It Works: * $257.50 is the highest gamma exposure level, and a breakout above this zone indicates strong bullish sentiment. Short Strategy: * Entry: Enter short positions if the price fails to break above $257.50 and shows a rejection (e.g., wicks or bearish engulfing candles). * Target: $252.50 (3rd Call Wall), $247.50 (HVL). * Stop-Loss: Above $258.00. Why It Works: * Rejection at $257.50 confirms resistance and potential profit-taking, aligning with put gamma levels below $252.50. Key Tips for Scalping and Options Trading 1. Volume Confirmation: * Ensure volume spikes during breakouts or rejections for higher probability trades. 2. Timeframe: * Use the 1-minute or 5-minute chart for scalping execution. 3. Implied Volatility: * IV is at 24.1%. Look for slightly out-of-the-money (OTM) options with low time decay for scalping. Conclusion * Bullish Case: AAPL breaks above $257.50 → Target $260.00 and $262.50. * Bearish Case: AAPL rejects $257.50 → Target $252.50 and $247.50.

Apple’s Chart Is Showing a Breakout. What Might Happen Next?Apple NASDAQ:AAPL has lagged its fellow “Magnificent 7” stocks for so long that market pundit Jim Cramer has said to "own it, don't trade it." But recently, the stock broke out of a technical pattern known as an “ascending triangle” -- a potentially bullish sign. What does AAPL’s technical and fundamental analysis say might happen next? Let’s that a look: Apple’s Fundamental Analysis Is Apple’s future all about its new AI-capable features, which are finding their way into the tech giant’s electronic gadgets? At least some of it might be. Or is it about the slow-but-steady growth of Apple’s high-margin services businesses, which benefit from the company’s huge installed base of connected gadgetry? We’re probably getting even warmer there. How about earnings? AAPL reported on Oct. 31 that it earned $1.64 of adjusted earnings per share on $94.9 billion of revenue in the company’s fiscal fourth quarter ended Sept. 28. Adjusted EPS beat the Street’s consensus estimate by $0.04, while revenues not only beat forecasts but represented 6.1% in year-over-year growth. In fact, Apple has grown sales by roughly 5% or 6% year on year for five consecutive quarters now. Talk about consistency. Apple will likely report results for the current quarter in late January. As I write this, Wall Street is looking for the company to record $2.36 in adjusted earnings per share on $124.4 billion in revenues. That would compare favorably to the $2.18 in adjusted EPS and “just” $119.6 billion of revenues that Apple saw during the same quarter a year earlier. I say "just" because such a number would still represent 4% year-over-year sales growth for the firm. But for many investors, Apple has always been about cash flow and return of capital to shareholders. Apple generated $118.2 billion of operating cash flow in the 12 months ended Sept. 28. The company spent $9.5 billion out of that number on capital expenditures, leaving $108.8 billion of free cash flow. AAPL returned all of that and more to shareholders over the trailing 12 months. The firm repurchased $100.4 billion of its common stock, while also paying out $15.2 billion in dividends to shareholders. Apple’s Technical Analysis Now let’s look at AAPL’s chart as of Wednesday, going back some eight months: Readers will see that the stock rallied from mid-April into July, but then sold off. Shares then found support in early August in between the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels of the entire rally, as denoted by the black horizontal lines at the chart’s left. From there, AAPL formed what’s called an “ascending triangle” pattern, marked with the purple lines in the chart above. The triangle’s top line held as a resistance level in October, but Apple hit successively higher lows from April all the way through the ascending triangle’s closure earlier this month. That’s typically a bullish sign. The pivot coming off of the ascending triangle stands at $238 in the chart above -- below the $249.79 that the stock closed at on Thursday. Does that mean that Apple’s upward run is near or at maturation? Not necessarily. A 20% run from a pivot point is historically reasonable for a Mag-7 stock, which would put the stock at $285.60 -- or about 14% above Thursday’s closing price. Meanwhile, Apple’s Relative Strength Index (the gray line at the top of the chart) looks extremely strong as well, to the point of being technically overbought. However, that condition can often last longer than one might think. Similarly, the stock’s daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator -- or “MACD,” denoted by the black and gold lines and the blue bars at the bottom – seems quite bullish. Apple’s 12-day Exponential Moving Average (or “EMA,” marked with a black line) is sitting above the stocks 26-Day EMA (the gold line), while the histogram of AAPL’s 9-Day EMA (the blue bars) is above zero. All of those components lined up in that way are historically positive for stocks. Another apparent bullish sign is the fact that AAPL’s shorter-term moving averages are running above its longer-term ones. The chart above shows Apple’s 21-Day EMA (marked with a green line) above its 50-day Simple Moving Average, or “SMA,” as denoted by a blue line. Similarly, Apple’s 50-day SMA is in turn running above Apple’s 200-day SMA, marked with a red line above. Such relationships typically serve as confirmation of an uptrend. (Moomoo Technologies Inc.

APPLE: Warning. Potential strong correction ahead.Apple is bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 67.500, MACD = 4.850, ADX = 85.805) as it has been rising nonstop since November 4th and the U.S. elections. Yesterday's high though, hit the top of the 2 year Channel Up and the 2.0 Fibonacci extension from October's High-Low, with the 1D RSI reaching overbought levels. The last time we saw this exact combination of events was 1 year ago on the December 14th 2023 High. The result was a price correction to the October 2023 Low (S1). As long as the price doesn't make a new High, we are bearish on Apple, aiming at the S1 level (TP = 220.00). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

AAPL Technical Analysis after Today Downturn - Dec. 19Apple (AAPL) experienced a sharp decline today, reflecting broader market volatility and potential profit-taking from recent highs. This analysis explores the technical outlook to assess possible reversal points, continuation patterns, and actionable trade setups. Market Structure Analysis * Daily Timeframe: AAPL broke out of its ascending channel but sharply pulled back to re-test support levels around $247. This indicates a failed breakout scenario with bearish momentum dominating. * Hourly Timeframe: The pullback from $254 to $247 aligns with increased selling volume, signaling strong short-term bearish sentiment. Supply and Demand Zones * Key Demand Zone: $244–$247 – A high-confluence support area where buyers may step in. * Key Supply Zone: $252–$254 – Prior resistance where sellers are likely to defend aggressively. Order Blocks and Support/Resistance Levels * Immediate Resistance: $250.79 – Intraday recovery may face challenges at this level. * Immediate Support: $245 – A breakdown below could signal further downside to $242.50 or $240. * Key Fibonacci Retracement Levels: * 50% Retracement: $246.50 * 61.8% Retracement: $244 Key Indicators * 9/21 EMA Crossover: Bearish crossover indicates potential continuation of downward momentum. * MACD: Shows strong bearish divergence, with the histogram widening in the negative territory. * RSI: Approaching oversold conditions, suggesting a potential bounce if $244 holds. Options Flow and Gamma Exposure (GEX) * Call Wall: $255 – Indicates strong resistance; unlikely to break without significant bullish momentum. * Put Wall: $247.50 – A key gamma support level; a breakdown below could accelerate bearish moves. * IVR/IVx: Elevated implied volatility suggests market participants expect significant price swings. Scalping vs Swing Outlook * Scalping: * Entry (Long): Near $245 with a tight stop-loss at $243. * Entry (Short): Near $250.50 if rejected, targeting $247 with a stop-loss at $252. * Swing Trading: * Bearish Play: Break below $244, targeting $240 with a stop-loss at $247. * Bullish Play: Reclaim $250, targeting $254 with a stop-loss at $247. Actionable Suggestions 1. For Short-Term Traders: * Monitor the $247 support level for possible intraday bounces. * Short positions can be considered below $244 with proper risk management. 2. For Swing Traders: * Wait for a clear breakout above $252 for bullish confirmation. * A sustained close below $244 opens room for a bearish continuation to $240 or lower. Conclusion AAPL faces critical support at $244–$247. While oversold conditions may prompt a short-term bounce, the bearish momentum suggests cautious optimism for bullish setups. Traders should monitor volume at key levels and utilize tight stop-losses to manage risk effectively.

Bearish Option Trade Setup: * Entry: Look for rejection at 247.6 (CALL wall resistance) or a failed breakout above 252.5. * Target: First target near the 237.5 PUT support, with an extended target at 225. * Option Strategy: * Buy PUT options (near-the-money strikes) with 30–45 days to expiration to allow time for the trade to play out. * Alternatively, use a Bear Put Spread (e.g., buy 245 PUT, sell 235 PUT) to reduce cost. 2. Bullish Option Trade Setup (Short-Term): * Entry: If price consolidates above 247.6 with volume confirmation, look for a push toward 252.5. * Target: CALL wall at 252.5, with stop-loss below 247. * Option Strategy: * Buy CALL options with short expiration (0DTE or 1-week out) to capitalize on quick moves. * Use a Bull Call Spread (e.g., buy 247 CALL, sell 252 CALL) for a cost-effective approach. Conclusion & Directional Bias: * Bearish Outlook: Price is struggling near the 247.6 CALL wall, and low IVR suggests options are cheap for PUT strategies. * Key Levels to Watch: * Resistance: 247.6 and 252.5 * Support: 237.5 and 225 For options trading, focus on PUT options if rejection occurs at resistance or CALL spreads if bullish confirmation is seen above key levels. 🚀 Short Disclaimer: This analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
