Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in the key range it created after reporting stellar earnings on July 20th, 2010.  The trading day following those earnings saw Apple gap higher to the $265.00 range, only to sell off to $254.00 level into the close.  That range has created what I call a box trading range.  Since then, the stock has not traded outside of that range once.  Instead it has bounced up to the $265.00 level, then back down to the $254 level.  It continues to jump back and forth.  The key will be when it breaks the range one way or the other.  Should it break the $265.00 level, the stock should trade back to the 52 week highs at $279.01.  If it breaks the lower box level at $254.00, expect the stock to fall to the 200 moving average, currently at $228.00.  To get more information, swing trades, guidance and education, join the Research Center.
