AAPL $259.43

Today's trading is in the middle of yesterday's range on volume running perhaps a third (so far) of what it was the day before.

AAPL has traded trading mainly in a sideways range between $260 and $240, with some breakouts. The 14-day volatility is 3.3%, not super-low, but also not exceptional. The average directional index is quite low, below 17.

On the Person's chart, AAPL is trading right at the midline pivot, with lots of room to the upside and the downside.

Person's Table

	pps	pps open	upper pivot	lower pivot
AAPL $259.43		$257.68 jul22	$294.39	$236.15

To be considered on the move, AAPL will need to break above the $279.01 all-time high set on June 21. Above that level, it's a blue-sky stock, with no price resistance in sight. The sidewise range provides plenty of downside support.
