FX.co ★ Technical analysis on AAPL stock price for October 16th, 2023.

Blue lines- Fibonacci retracement levels

green lines- bullish divergence signal

Red line- resistance trend line

AAPL stock price is trading around $178.84. Price recently made a strong bounce despite making new lower lows at $169. Price has now reached the red downward sloping resistance trend line at $182. The lower low in price was not followed by a lower low in the RSI. The RSI provided a bullish divergence. This does not mean we could not see new lower lows. However it is an indication that the downward move is most probably corrective in nature. Recent price action has confirmed that resistance is important at $182 and as long as we trade below it, price will remain vulnerable to more downside. AAPL stock price has already retraced 38% of the entire upward move from December 2022 lows. A shallow retracement would be a bullish sign for the longer-term trend if bulls manage to start a new upward wave with higher highs and higher lows. For the time being we prefer to be neutral if not bearish as long as price is below the red trend line. There is potential for a new lower low towards the 50% Fibonacci retracement level.
