Apple – Strong Earnings, but an Uncertain Future?

Since our last analysis on January 16, 2025, the development of Apple’s stock (AAPL) has followed expectations. However, with the Q4/2024 earnings report released yesterday, the question arises: What happens next?

Outstanding Results with a Catch
Apple delivered one of its strongest quarterly earnings reports in history – a testament to the company’s resilience. However, not everything is shining: concerns about its business in China cast a shadow over the positive results and could pose a long-term risk.

Technical Outlook
The $225 support zone has proven to be a solid foundation. As long as Apple’s price remains above this level, the bullish scenario stays intact, with a potential upside target of $250. However, if concerns about Apple’s China market intensify, a drop below $220 could trigger further downside movement.

Conclusion:
Apple remains fundamentally strong, but uncertainties cloud the outlook. The key question is whether market optimism will persist or if growing worries about China’s impact will take center stage. Traders should closely watch the $220 level, as it could determine the stock’s next major move.
