AAPL Apple

Apple closed at $344.17 on 2026-11-05, down 1.53% on the day. That puts it about 90% of the way up its 52-week range ($243.42 to $355.38) and roughly 3.2% below the yearly high. The trend is up: price sits about 2.6% above the SMA50 ($335.46) and about 15.4% above the SMA200 ($298.34), and the SMA50 is above the SMA200. Returns are positive across the board: +2.23% over 1 month, +9.84% over 3 months, +26.60% year to date and +27.45% over 1 year.

Momentum and Risk

RSI14 is 53.0, which is neutral: not hot (above 70) and not weak (below 30). The uptrend is not showing signs of stretched momentum. ATR14 is 2.59% of price, or about $8.90, so a typical daily move is sizable. Today's -1.53% fell within that normal range. The 20-day average volume is about 48.3 million shares, a baseline for judging whether future moves have strong participation.

Levels to Watch

• Upper: the 52-week high at $355.38, about $11 above the current price.
• Nearby support: the SMA50 near $335.46.
• Deeper support: the SMA200 near $298.34, and the 52-week low at $243.42 far below.

Main scenario: the uptrend continues, with pullbacks holding above the SMA50 and price retesting the 52-week high. Alternative scenario: a close below the SMA50 would signal a deeper pullback, with the SMA200 as the next major reference. Confidence in the main scenario: moderate, since the trend structure is solid but a single day's drop shows how quickly short-term moves can shift.
