Apple Inc. (AAPL) – Big Level To Watch For

Apple Inc. (AAPL) which has been leading the market  higher over the past year is now showing signs that the party may be over . At the beginning of this month we saw the first signs of relative weakness in AAPL vs the S&P. As the overall stock market  moved higher, AAPL moved sideways to slightly lower which suggested that this stock and maybe even the market may be in trouble. Today we saw AAPL gap down on good volume taking out the lows from last month. On a long-term basis the trend is still up as can be seen by the rising 200 day moving average which is below the market. This average comes in at the 231 area which also happens to coincide with a support level from last May which I highlighted in the above chart. This is a key level for AAPL which should be watched closely as it may help determine the fate for this powerhouse of a stock. Today Apple Inc. (AAPL) closed at 239.93 which is down 2.39% from Monday’s close.
