Apple Daily Chart Analysis

• Shares broke out of what traders call an ascending triangle pattern and were able to hold the previous resistance level as support. This shows the stock is seeing bullish momentum and may continue to climb.
• The stock trades above both the 50-day moving average (green) and the 200-day moving average (blue). This indicates the sentiment is bullish, and each of these moving averages may hold as an area of support in the future.
• The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been flying higher the past few days and now sits at 57. This shows a strong buying presence has entered the market, which caused the recent jump in price. If the RSI continues to stay above the middle line, the stock may continue on its bullish run.
