Apple intraday : the RSI is oversold
 
Our pivot point is at 253.21.
 
Our preference:
Rebound towards 261.81
 
Alternative scenario:
Below 253.21, expect 250.34 and 248.63.
 
Comment:
The RSI is below 30. It could either mean that the price is in a lasting downtrend or just oversold and therefore bound to retrace (look for bullish divergence in this case). The MACD is above its signal line and negative. The configuration is mixed. Moreover, the price stands below its 20 and 50 period moving average (respectively at 259.75 and 268.61). Finally, the Apple is trading below its lower Bollinger band (standing at 255.94).
