Apple- Passive Selling or More Accumulation?

7 giorni fa

A Bottom and Accumulation
The stock formed a top near 260 in December 2024 and a bottom near 169 in April 2025.
After a sharp bounce of 25% from the lows in just 4 days, the stock consolidated for about 76 sessions in a range from 193 to 214- roughly a 10% range. This created a well-defined base structure, suggesting a period of accumulation.

Breakouts with Volume
The range broke out with strong volume expansion in the beginning of August, confirming a shift in market structure from accumulation to markup. Since then, the stock has maintained a steady uptrend, experiencing only brief pullbacks of about 5 to 6 percent- typical of a healthy trending phase.

Passive Selling at Highs
Currently the stock is trading near its previous highs of 260. It broke out of this resistance and then pulled back below this level. Passive selling is seen around 260 level which means sellers are stepping up, trying to absorb buyers. and the next few sessions will reveal whether this zone turns into a distribution area or simply a retest before continuation.

Trendline Buyers
Pullback buyers are watching the up trendline support which has held the previous shakeouts at two occasions (in Sep and Oct). As long as the stock sustains above this trendline, trend-following participants are likely to continue adding on dips, providing structural support to the uptrend.

Two Scenarios
A sustained move above 260, supported by strong volumes, would reaffirm bullish control and open the door for further upside momentum. Conversely, a break below the trendline could trigger long liquidation from those who bought above 260, leading to broader profit booking and a possible retracement toward 240 or even 225.

In simple words-

Passive Selling means, placing a sell limit order and then wait for the price to rise to your desired level before selling. You are not selling at the market price; you are letting the price come to you.

It’s a calm, patient approach often used by investors who already hold a position.


Aggressive Selling means, using a market order or hitting the bid. You sell immediately at the current market price. This is common when traders want to exit quickly. It shows urgency and a willingness to accept a lower price to get out fast.
