Apollo (APOL) hit resistance at broken support last week and then formed a shooting star this week. This shooting star represents a failed intraday rally. Notice how the stock surged to 32 on Tuesday and then fell to close near 31. This failure also occurred when the market rallied on Tuesday. The indicator window shows MACD(5,35,5) just above its signal line. A move below the signal line would indicate a downturn in upside momentum.
