With Apple Inc. (AAPL) pressing record highs, technical traders are watching two levels into July 30 earnings. A sustained weekly close above roughly $340 would mark a confirmed breakout toward a next target near $351. On the downside, about $317 is viewed as the floor.
Constructive Picture
The technical picture has turned constructive, supported by rising volume on up days — Monday's turnover topped 63 million shares versus an average near 54 million — and momentum signals that flipped positive during the July surge.
Two-Sided Risk
Chart watchers caution that record-high stocks into earnings carry two-sided risk: a strong report could trigger the $340 breakout, while a disappointment could send shares toward support.
