On Aug. 7-8, Apple bounced near its 100-day moving average, and the key level acted as support following the breakout in January and the pullback in March. The 100-day MA was also a major resistance level near the end of 2022, so it could have the opposite effect now that it’s working in the bulls’ favour.
Apple’s daily RSI did sink below 30 on Aug. 7, so the metric stands near the low set when Apple formed a lasting bottom in January. While S&P 500 seasonality is typically choppy in August – and Apple is the index’s largest constituent – if it can hold the 100-day MA, the risk-reward seems attractive for new entrants that missed the initial upswing.
Will Apple make a quick comeback, or is more pain in store before its bull market resumes?
