Apple has lagged for months, but some traders may expect a recovery.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the emerging double-bottom around $168.50. AAPL bounced at that level in early March and is trying to hold it again. The kind of price action may suggest the downtrend is slowing – at least for the time being.
Second, the tech giant is expected to report earnings in the next few weeks. Considering the nearby support, will sellers wait for the approaching catalyst to push the downside? That could give an edge to buyers in the near-term.
Third, MACD is starting to rise.
Next, consider the falling trendline along the recent highs. Closing above that line may also suggest the near-term direction is less bearish.
