From your perspective, would you consider it plausible to see a gap on the opening tomorrow as the shorts panic and cover?

I'm not sure if it will happen tomorrow, but I do expect shorts to clue-in more or less en masse and cause a quick raise or gap in the price.

Everyone has looked for months at this level as a psychological barrier.

I agree that a new one-year high is important. It would have been better if the price had ended over $30 as well (another psychological barrier).

It is interesting, however, that AAPL did not close at its intraday high.

For shorts, unfortunately, the answer is yes. Look at this way, there
are 14+m shares of shorts who anxiously wait any precious downwards
moment to cover now. If we only expect 10% of those shorts who are
covering back tomorrow, then the 1.4+m shares from shorts alone will
squeeze in within a short period of timeframe, the price will be
jumped up quickly than your imagination. The shorts' happy hours have
ended with a miserable way.

chicken out and cover

No, not yet, but the day will be soon at hand. There wasn't enough follow through to get a gap up. But now that it has broken that barrier the clock is ticking.
