On Friday, Apple (AAPL) closed at its highs for the day and highs for the week. This has not happened since April 5th (holiday-shortened week) with AAPL a day away from its last all-time closing high. For about the next six weeks Apple sold off almost every day with one important post-earnings pop that delivered one of the best post-earnings plays I have ever analyzed. Last Friday’s close marks a subtle but definite change in momentum for Apple as the company goes into this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). This change can best be seen in the weekly chart. I first show the daily chart which clearly marks specific turning points and mini-trends in the stock. In particular, note that AAPL is now resting directly under resistance at its now declining 50DMA. If the WWDC is somehow a dud, we should know pretty quickly.

AAPL approaches resistance at the declining 50DMA

Note that trading volume has been particularly light during Apple’s brief consolidation after the last downtrend ended. This is more of a footnote than anything. Volume surges are more important in this day and time.

Be careful out there!

Full disclosure: long AAPL call and put spreads
