How the 20-day and 60-day moving averages describe trend structure and what price above or below them means.
A moving average is the average close over a fixed window. The 20-day average describes the near-term trend; the 60-day average describes the medium-term trend.
As of 2026-08-14, AAPL closed at 305.93 with a 20-day average of 318.21 and a 60-day average of 308.93. Price is below both the 20-day (318.21) and 60-day (308.93) averages.
When short averages sit above longer averages the structure is often described as stacked; when they cross, it marks a change in the relationship between short and long momentum.
