Apple Inc. (AAPL Stock) – Candle Exploration
A steep ascending trendline and the upward trajectory of EMA indicate a bullish momentum. If it continues, the price might break the 52-week high, creating new highs in the process. The RSI value of 62.56 shows strength but it is too close to the overbought zone, making it hard for the price action to cross the 52-week high.
If the price drops, it shall form support at $177.41 and could bounce off to consolidate in a narrow range. If the price drops below the immediate support, it shall meet S1 at $162.32. As this point coincides with the EMA, the chances of the price dropping below this point are slim.
