MACD
-0.39 Bearish

Market Mechanics: Price remains within normal deviation from 50d SMA. Trend can continue without major mean-reversion pressure.

Bollinger Bands – Position Context

Price trades in the lower half of the bands, increasing the probability of short-term bounce. However, downtrends can remain oversold longer than expected.

Note: Bands show volatility zones, not strict buy/sell signals. Confluence with volume and momentum increases reliability.

Volume Analysis – Causal Context

Trading volume declines below 20-day average. This raises risk: rallies without volume expansion are suspect and prone to reversals. Retail-driven moves lack institutional support.

Trading Plan & Invalidation Rules

Bullish Scenario: If AAPL holds above $267.29 on normal or rising volume, probability of continuation toward $280.65 increases.
Bearish Scenario: If AAPL breaks below $244.45 on expanding volume (confirmation required), risk shifts toward lower historical supports. Monitor 200d SMA at $257.07 as potential floor.
Invalidation Rules:
  • Bullish thesis fails if price closes below $244.45 on volume >20-day average (indicates institutional selling).
  • Bearish thesis fails if price closes above $261.49 on volume >20-day average (indicates accumulation).
  • Monitor for volume divergence: price making new highs/lows on declining volume suggests exhaustion.

Multi-Timeframe Verdict Matrix

SHORT-TERM (Days)
Strong
Neutral momentum—wait for clearer directional signals before committing.
MEDIUM-TERM (Weeks)
Bullish structure
Price above 50d SMA maintains bullish structure. Probability of continuation increases if volume supports rallies.
LONG-TERM (Months)
Uptrend intact
Bull market structure intact above 200d SMA. Long-term investors can hold positions with trailing stops.
📊 Unified Recommendation
For Swing Traders (Days-Weeks): Uptrend intact—buy dips to $267.29 with volume confirmation. Target: $280.65.
For Position Traders (Weeks-Months): Trend remains favorable—accumulate on pullbacks to 50d SMA ($261.49) with invalidation below 200d SMA ($257.07).
⚠️ Important: This analysis reflects probability-based assessments, not certainties. Markets can remain irrational longer than expected. Always use stop-losses and position sizing to manage risk. Invalidation rules are critical—if thesis breaks, exit promptly.
