Apple Stock Tests $213 Resistance As Price Holds Above $211, Eyes Breakout Toward $225

Apple stock trades at $211.24 after gaining 0.6% in the last 24 hours.

Price is nearing key resistance at $213.34 after a sharp recovery.

A confirmed move above $214 could set the path toward $225.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) recorded a 0.6% appreciation over the past 24 hours to push its price to $211.24. The move brought the asset to a crucial resistance at $213.34, which has been a region of rejection for months. Recent price action shows price ranging in a tight area, following a quick rebound from June's lower levels.

Throughout most of June, Apple traded below $204, showing poor momentum. Then at the end of the month, the stock burst through above-hanging resistance. This action has persisted since then, with price sitting just below the resistance zone

Although the price has not cleared yet at a price of $213.34, the structure is holding up. The short support has been fixed at 209.72, which is where the price bounced back previously following a slight decline. So far, that level has held firm. Price action between $209.72 and $213.34 now defines the current range.

Recent Movement Marks Return from Consolidation

The broader trend over the past two months reflects a series of failed rallies followed by tighter price compression. From mid-May to late June, Apple remained largely range-bound, fluctuating below $204 without strong direction. However, momentum shifted as the stock began forming higher lows late in the month.

The price quickly overcame the level of $208 and traveled to around $214 before being met with resistance. A meager pullback ensued, though the downtrend has not reached past the $209.72 level, keeping the bullish profile intact. Current price action suggests buyers are still active within the defined range. This consolidation, after the sharp recovery, indicates that markets may be waiting for a confirmation move.

Traders Monitor $213.34 Level as Potential Breakout Point

With Apple maintaining position above $211, focus remains on the $213.34 resistance zone. A sustained move beyond that threshold could open the door to higher levels. However, the price must continue to hold above $209.72 to avoid invalidating recent gains.

This support-resistance range will likely determine short-term direction. Traders now watch closely to see if the asset can break through or remain contained within this zone.
