Apple Gapped Lower. Now What?

Apple gapped lower on Friday thanks to a ho-hum quarterly report. Is it an opportunity for longer-term buyers?

The first pattern on today’s chart is $182.94, the previous all-time high from early 2022. AAPL challenged this price on June 5 after unveiling its virtual-reality headset but was initially rejected. The stock kept pushing and made new highs a couple of weeks later. It also bounced at the same level in late June, turning old resistance into new support. Traders may look for entries in this area over the next week.

Second, the current drop represented the first break under the 50-day simple moving average since January.

Third, stochastics have dipped into oversold territory.

Finally the calendar has potential importance with new iPhones expected in September. That could also keep buyers interested over the intervening weeks.
