Apple shares slipped Tuesday alongside broader tech weakness. Here's the level traders need to watch.

Apple is under pressure Tuesday, and if you're trading AAPL, you can't afford to look away. The stock is edging lower as big-cap tech names get hit across the board, dragging both the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 into negative territory. When the whole sector sells off, even the strongest names feel it.

Break below support and momentum sellers pile in. Hold it, and you've got a bounce setup worth watching.
