Apple has reclaimed its 200-day moving average and is pressing against the $182 resistance zone that capped price action since Q4. Momentum indicators have turned positive, and institutional accumulation appears to be accelerating ahead of the next earnings cycle.
Trade Setup
We favor a buy on a confirmed daily close above $182 with volume at least 15% above the 20-day average. Initial target sits at $198 (measured move from the base), with a stop below $176 to protect against a failed breakout.
Key Levels
- Entry zone: $182.50 – $184.00
- Target: $198.00
- Stop loss: $176.00
Risk no more than 1–2% of portfolio on this setup. Scale out partial profits near $192.
