The reason we have selected Apple today is to highlight a setup that differs from those we have commonly observed in recent weeks, during which many securities have been trading at or near all-time highs and continuing to push higher. AAPL recorded an intraday peak on December 3 at $288.34 and has since entered a corrective phase with notable momentum to the downside. In fact, in the coming days we may observe that several Big Tech names have been \u201closing steam\u201d over recent weeks. At yesterday\u2019s close, at $246.70 (-3.46%), total losses since that peak amount to 14.52%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is particularly noteworthy is that the stock has just tested and decisively broken its long-term upward trendline. If confirmed, this would represent a materially negative technical signal. The emphasis on confirmation<\/em> is critical: a single close is not sufficient to state with certainty that a structural break has occurred, and today\u2019s session will therefore be pivotal. Should the stock manage to close above $250, the bearish signal would be invalidated, and the move would be classified as a textbook false breakdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technical indicators\u2014by definition derived from price action\u2014are broadly negative. The 21-day and 50-day moving averages have crossed to the downside, while both the MACD and RSI are weak. Although the RSI is currently in oversold territory, this should not be interpreted as a bullish signal; on the contrary, it reflects underlying price weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the upside, the key level has already been identified, with an additional critical resistance located at $255.5. On the downside, attention should be paid to yesterday\u2019s lows at $243.40, followed by the $ 241 area, which must hold. A break below this level would constitute another clearly negative signal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The company that has reshaped multiple industries and the daily lives of billions of people requires little introduction.
