Apple Stock Tests Resistance at $325.13 Amid Mixed Chart Signals

Apple's shares have risen to $325.13 USD on the Nasdaq, up 2.61% from the prior close of $316.85.

This move is significant because it has pushed the stock to the top of its short-term trading range and is now sitting at 100% of the 20-hour range, pressing against resistance.

The broader message from the chart is still mixed, with Apple trading above both its SMA20 ($311.32) and SMA50 ($312.94), which normally signals that the market is willing to pay up above recent averages.

However, the trend is described as sideways, and the SMA20 slope is -0.06% over 5 days, meaning the short-term average is still drifting lower even as price has bounced.
