Applovin (APP) selling into support—Will the trendline hold?

The recent price action for Applovin Corporation (APP) has shifted from expansion to correction. The stock is currently experiencing significant selling pressure, moving lower to test a critical structural support. This is no longer a "buy the breakout" chart, but rather a "watch the support" scenario.

The $364.25 Support Test

All eyes are currently on the inclining trendline that has moved up near the current price at $364.25.

●     Selling into Support: APP is currently "falling" into this level. In technical analysis, selling into a major trendline often creates a "coiled spring" effect where the stock becomes short-term oversold exactly as it hits a historical buying zone.

●     The Bounce Thesis: If the $364.25 level holds, we may see a sharp, tactical bounce as short-sellers cover positions and dip-buyers step in for a relief rally.

Key Resistance Levels (The "Exit" Zones)

If a bounce occurs at the $364.25 mark, traders will be looking for overhead resistance to gauge the strength of the recovery:

  1. First Resistance: $449.06 — This previously acted as support and may now act as "flipped" resistance.
  2. Second Resistance: $504.09 — This represents the area where the recent selling began in earnest.

The Bear Case: Breaking the Floor

The danger in "selling into support" is the risk of a high-volume breakdown.

●     Invalidation: A decisive close below $364.25 would eliminate the near-term bounce potential from the inclining trendline that has guided APP for months.

●     Downside Extension: If this support gives way, the next significant level of support for APP to save price action is at $317.15.

Conclusion

Applovin is at a decisive inflection point. The current sell-off has brought the stock to a high-probability bounce zone at $364.25. Whether this level provides a temporary relief rally or a full trend reversal depends entirely on the buy-side response in the coming sessions.
