$337.90 · Below This Level: Plan Void

Levels sit on the price axis at their true spacing. Labels of nearby levels are nudged apart to stay readable and a thin line points to the actual level; distances are measured from the current price.

What to Watch

The 52-week high at 355.38 is 1.94% away; a close above it means new-high territory.
For tomorrow: a close below the 346.20 S1 starts a move into the waiting zone.

Assessment

The midday zone is unchanged. The trend is up: the price is above all four averages, with RSI at 57.6. MACD crossed down eight sessions ago; momentum is slow but not broken. With the pivot acting as resistance, the waiting zone sits between the 341.72 S2 and the 346.20 S1. The stop is below the 338.70 low.

Reading the Volume

Apple's volume is slow: a 0.42 pace; there is no selling pressure, but buyers are in no hurry either.

Scenarios

Scenarios on the Price Axis

Up / Down: 1.62
Upside Trigger $349.27: + 1.0% · 0.4 ATR

Levels come from the scenario text; only figures that match a recorded level are drawn. Distances are measured from the price above the rail.

Bull Case

Clearing the 349.27 pivot and the 351.43 peak brings a test of the 52-week high at 355.38. Confirmation needs a daily close above that high.

Bear Case

A close below the 20-day at 343.87 pressures the zone's lower end. The 337.9 stop sits just below the 338.70 low.

Behind the Levels

Targets: 52-week high at 355.38 and the 356.82 R2.
Entry Zone: Between the 341.72 S2 and the 346.20 S1.
Stop: Just below the 338.70 chart low.

What Does HOLD Mean?

Full Guide

The picture is mixed, or the trend is fine but price is far from the entry zone. There is not enough reason for a new purchase or for selling; the plan is waiting for a level to settle.

If You Don't Own It: No rush. If an entry zone is given, wait for price to reach it and for confirmation (a close that holds in the zone, above-average volume); without a zone, watch the listed supports and resistances.
If You Own It: HOLD does not mean sell: the position is held. Watch the stop if one is given, otherwise the nearest support; a break lower can turn the view to SELL.
All at Once or in Steps?: A new purchase comes after confirmation and is again spread across the zone. Waiting for a BUY view before adding avoids growing a position in a weakening stock.

The Other Views

BUYTrend up; entry zone, stop and targets defined.
SELLTrend down; no new buying, rallies are a chance to reduce.

Why the View Rarely Changes. The view is reviewed in every edition but changes only on a concrete trigger: a moving average breaking, price closing under the stop, or the entry zone being rebuilt. Indicators come from daily closes; the plan is written for readers of the daily chart, not for intraday trading.

RSI (14)

Neutral Zone

Measures how fast price has risen on a scale of 0 to 100. Above 70 means a fast run up, below 30 a fast drop; on its own it is not a buy or sell signal.

MACD (12, 26, 9)

Below Signal

Tracks the gap between two moving averages. When MACD sits above its signal line the move is speeding up; below it, slowing down.
