What costs $3500 and leaves the user vulnerable to being pranked from ‘friends’ whilst wearing it? Yes, Apple’s augmented reality headset, which comes in ~3x more than one made by Meta. You can read up on all its features and Apple’s latest announcements elsewhere. As what we’re focussing on today is that Apple’s stock closed lower on the day it unveiled its latest anti-social device. And the fact it occurred after a false break to a fresh record high should also serve as a ‘reality’ check to bulls. At least over the near term.
Sure, the daily chart is clearly in an uptrend. But it has hit a stumbling block at its previous record highs set in 2022. Moreover, RSI has reached overbought and the day closed with a key reversal bar – which is a bearish outside / engulfing candle on high volume, which suggests all is not well at these highs. Furthermore, the OBV indicator (on balance volume) has failed to break above its own cycle high despite prices continuing north which suggests potential weakness to the underlying trend.
From here, bears could either seek to fade into minor rallies within the key reversal day, and set an initial downside target around 157.77 gap support. A break beneath which brings the 170 handle / 172.15 HVN (high volume node) into focus for bears.
