In today’s stock of the day, let’s take a look at Apple, which has been moving sideways since October.
The structure here resembles a symmetric triangle, although the lower boundary is relatively flat. Still, the overall idea remains the same. This is a consolidation phase where the market is waiting for direction.
Last week, we saw an attempt to break out to the upside, marked with a blue rectangle. But so far, that breakout is not confirmed. It hasn’t failed either, which leaves us in a neutral zone.
In short, we’re in limbo.
So what are the key scenarios?
If the price drops back inside the triangle, that would signal a false breakout and trigger a signal to sell.
On the other hand, if Apple manages to push clearly above last week’s highs, that would confirm a proper breakout and give a signal to buy.
For now, it’s all about waiting. The setup is clear, and the next decisive move should define the direction for the coming days.
