This technical analysis will examine Apple Inc. (AAPL) stock, focusing on the inverted head and shoulders pattern identified several days ago. I'll discuss the stock's recent performance, the breakout from resistance around $156, and potential future scenarios based on current market conditions.
Inverted Head and Shoulders Pattern
The inverted head and shoulders pattern in this context is a bullish continuation pattern that signals a potential move to continue an uptrend. In my previous analysis, I highlighted the possibility that AAPL would break through the resistance level around $156, which has since occurred. Following the breakout, the stock experienced a pullback to the breakout zone, as predicted.
Potential Scenarios
Bounce to $166: If AAPL maintains its position above $156 and daily candles do not close below this level, there is potential for the stock to bounce up to the $166 area. This scenario would indicate a successful breakout, retest and a continuation of the bullish trend.
Failed Breakout: If AAPL fails to hold above $156 and daily candles close below this level, it would signal a failed breakout. In this case, the stock could quickly move back to $145 and potentially lower.
Market Dependency
The future performance of AAPL will largely depend on the overall market and its influence on the S&P 500 Index (SPX), as AAPL is a significant component of the index. The stock's ability to push higher or experience a bearish rejection will be influenced by broader market trends.
The recent breakout of AAPL above the $156 resistance level and subsequent pullback to the breakout zone align with my previous analysis. The stock's future performance will be influenced by its ability to maintain its position above $156 and broader market conditions. Traders should closely monitor market developments and be prepared to adjust their strategies based on new information, keeping in mind the potential scenarios outlined above.
