The rally was kick-started on Monday when Carl Icahn revealed his plan for the company to reach his projected price target of $240.

Following Monday's $1.42 gain, it hovered around the $130 level for two days, tacked on another $1.33 on Thursday and is grinding higher in today's session, so far reaching $132.97. It is poised to improve on its all-time closing high ($132.65) that was put in place before its blockbuster Q1 report earlier this year.

Its all-time high ($134.54) was made on the day following the report, but investors that anticipated the great quarter choose to take profits. As a result, it ended that session at $130.56 and drifted down to $124.58 before mounting its current rally.

Tech expert Sean Udall stated on Friday's #Premarket Prep that based on his analysis, Apple may reach the $145 ($1015 split-adjusted) level by mid-summer.
