The Nasdaq is trading at its highest level this year, and the S&P 500 is trading higher than the levels it saw in late December. Apple Retakes 200-Day Line Apple hit resistance at its 200-day moving average for the past week and a half, but looks like it may be able to close above that level today with a 1.5% gain in above-average turnover. Apple hasn’t traded above the 200-day since November, and that was only briefly. The stock is now 16% below its late-April peak. The consumer tech giant is set to report quarterly results in a few weeks. Analysts have been expecting lower iPhone demand this year, but some say there may be a pickup once the iPhone 7 is launched. Amazon Breaks Out Amazon is breaking out of a cup-with-handle base with a 603.34 buy point, rising 1.6%. Volume is tracking above average. The stock tried to edge into buy range the last two sessions but closed below the pivot. Shares are now trading 12% below their high reached in late December. Citi on Tuesday said Amazon is one Internet stock that has the greatest opportunity to produce better-than-expected Q1 results, which the e-commerce giant will report later this month. Tesla To End Losing Streak? Tesla is looking to end its four-session losing streak as it climbs back above the 250 price level with a 2.4% rise. But volume is not strong. The electric car maker is trading 11% below its July high. On Tuesday, Tesla introduced a few upgrades to its Model S, and Global Equities Research says this will improve the car’s production rate by 10%. That could be a good sign as Tesla is ramping up production of its Model X and prepping production for its Model 3. Fitbit Surges On Bullish Report Fitbit is jumping 12.7% in big volume, hitting a more than two-month high. The stock is trading 67% below its all-time high. Citi issued a bullish report on the stock, saying that Blaze and Alta sales could fuel upside to Q1 results and a positive Q2 outlook. The maker of fitness trackers said late last month that it sold 1 million units of each of the two new models in their first month of availability. Fitbit also reports earnings later this month. Will Yahoo Hit 8-Month High? Yahoo may be able to close at an eight-month high, climbing 1.2%, but volume is tracking lighter than average. Shares are 19% below their 52-week peak. Suntrust Robinson Humphrey raised its price target on Yahoo, which is looking to be acquired. Scalper1 News
