Apple still has a lot more upside ahead following its confirmed breakout to record highs, according to Katie Stockton of Fairlead Strategies.
In a note on Wednesday, Stockton identified a measured-move price target of $168 for Apple, representing potential upside of 10% from Tuesday's close.
After decisively clearing the key $150 resistance level, Stockton sees support for Apple at that level going forward, according to the note. That level will likely serve as a better support level than the 50-day moving average, which currently sits near $145, Stockton said.
The strong move in shares of Apple has led Stockton to have an overweight bias towards the technology sector, "noting also that there is a bullish reversal in the S&P 600 Information Technology Index versus the S&P 500," the note said.
September is often a busy month for Apple, as it unveils its new slate of iPhone models at a highly-watched event. While the September invitations from Apple have not yet gone out, rumors are building as to what the iPhone 13 model line-up may offer. Potential features include a better camera, the elimination of the front screen notch, and satellite connectivity for emergency purposes.
Apple traded up as much as 2% on Wednesday, hitting a record high of $154.98. The stock is up 16% year-to-date.
