Apple stock (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been rallying since the release of its 2^nd fiscal quarter results. However, the price has been facing resistance from a key level due to the increased volatility in the US equities driven by the recent economic data and the US Fed policies.

On Wednesday, Apple's shares opened at $189.51, but the buying pressure pushed them above $192 during the early hours of trading. At press time, the tech giant's stock is up 1.09% for the day. The positive price comes amid a bearish sentiment in the US equities as the benchmark S&P 500 index is down 30 points.
