Technically speaking, doesn't anyone question the fact the stock has risen 20% since Monday?

All gaps get filled. This will be no exception. Wait for it.

<<...can't the stock be overbought given such a big move in such a short time?..>>

....Yes, it can...Stocks do not move in a straight line, and some pullback...at some point... would be normal..

IMHO..given the strong momentum here, and the location of the next resistance areas, I would tend to look for a pull-back from a somewhat higher level..

Orion -

I think it's important to look at the context of the move. The stock was way oversold, in my opinion, due to fears that turned out to be groundless.

While I generally expect profit taking to follow this kind of spectacular jump, I don't think it's likely that we're going to see a full retracement.

To me, it looks like the bear trend has broken, and we're back in bull mode with a vengeance. Just my opinion.

Of course I am talking only about AAPL, and not the market in general. A generally bad market will weigh on Apple going forward, but there seems to be plenty of rocket fuel available.

Overbought by who, might be the parallel question that answers your question. Short covering doesn't count towards being overbought, and there were a lot of shorts pushing the stock to 50 on pure negative hype.

It could pause, dip, close the gap or keep going. That's the only fact. But, the negative price bubble is broken. Positions are being reversed, and there is a LOT of interest.
