Technical Obstacles to breaching Gap Resistance Today
I would like to propose my analysis of the potential obstacles to AAPL and the Naz breaching Gap Support today.
[list]- The Naz and AAPL both share gap resistance. The Naz is at 2575, and AAPL at 192-193.
- After yesterday’s session both are overbought on the daily as well as the 60 minute charts.
- AAPL has to overcome the negative divergences on the MACD, which is applying significant pressure from below.
- The Jobs report certainly didn’t help the situation, with unemployment rising to 5.5% from 5.1% in May.[/list:u]
So, if AAPL moves towards gap resistance, I expect it will be difficult to pierce it without a significant surge in volume and sentiment. What I believe will happen is that it will approach this level and fall back to the wedge breakout it sported yesterday, which should provide nice support. This level is at 188-189 or so.
If we rise to the gap and bounce off, this may present a good buying opportunity as
approaches the top of the wedge breakout level at approximately 188-189. Might be the best price you’ll get before WWDC.
Ideas, comments?
