Tech stocks are crashing heavily with Kospi market experiencing circuit breaker for the 2nd day in a row. The Korean government is also stepping in to save the situation as retail investors get caught up with margin trading and leveraged etfs. Even with companies reporting solid earnings, a soft guidance or merely meeting expectations would still send the stock right down as the bearish sentiment starts to get real. Both beaten down stocks Meta & Msft report after Bell tonight. while Apple and Amazon follow suit a day later. This could be the real crash investors are waiting for to buy the dip while fomo traders lose out.

$Apple(AAPL.US) 26% in 24 BARS - That is alot

Tuesday’s trading reflected a rotation rather than broad market weakness. Strength in the Dow and S&P 500 suggested continued support for industrials and defensive sectors, while the Nasdaq lagged as semiconductor stocks came under pressure. The SOX index breaking below key support may indicate weaker near-term sentiment for chipmakers, particularly memory stocks amid renewed oversupply concerns. Meanwhile, Apple’s brief US$5 trillion milestone highlighted continued resilience in mega-cap technology despite broader semiconductor weakness.

currently Apple looks to be treated as a safer tech play amongst the MAG7, not having the same capex concerns like the others. This translates to it being a stable long term play (which is endorsed by the Buffet stock god).

i think yesterday’s market showed a clear split, AAPL pushing towards 5 trillion valuation while semis stayed under pressure tells me that investors are willing to pay for quality mega cap defensiveness but are less forgiving on chips. the earnings coming in the next few days will probably cause big headline moves and dictate the direction of the market thereafter

The good news is that capital is not leaving the market, just rotating within. From high beta AI related names to more defensive ones like healthcare. And those still wanting to remain within tech are congregating in big tech names like Apple.

$Apple(AAPL.US) touching a $5 trillion market cap right before earnings shows huge investor faith. Yet, the chip sector sliding 4.5% shows growing nervousness about AI infrastructure spending. Tomorrow’s report is a massive reality check. Can Apple’s numbers justify this valuation, or is it pure hype?

Big Tech remains resilient while semiconductor stocks consolidate after strong AI gains. This week's tech earnings and the Fed decision will determine whether the AI rally resumes or volatility persists.

Apple's bullish momentum remains intact after briefly touching a $5 trillion market cap, with upcoming earnings and AI strategy expected to determine whether the rally can continue.

STI remains near record highs, supported by strong banks and steady inflows. Bank earnings, the Fed decision, and U.S. tech results are key catalysts, with oil prices posing a volatility risk.SIA posted its first quarterly loss in nearly four years as higher fuel costs offset record revenue. Oil prices and travel demand remain the key factors to watch.

When only Apple can touch $5T and everything else in semis is breaking down, that’s a red flag. The Philly Semi breaking key support with memory names below water means the AI infrastructure trade is rolling over. AAPL is now 8%+ of the S&P. If earnings tomorrow miss, that $5T becomes an anchor that drags the whole market lower.

Market is splitting in two. Apple at $4.99T shows investors will pay up for predictable services, installed base, and on-device AI margins. Meanwhile SOX -4.49% and memory getting crushed is just the cyclical washout we needed. This isn’t 2000. The leaders with real profits are separating from the capex stories. Apple holding up into earnings is the signal, not the warning.

AAPL is prudent and investors like it: free cash flow $30b but allocating only $3.4b quarterly capex on AI infrastructure.

apple stock is the stock to buy as with their new phone launches, it will go up but will it sustain after review of users of the new phone.

i think AAPL all time high share price is sustainable. finally moving up.

I think Apple can justify a premium valuation only if this earnings report shows AI is translating into stronger iPhone demand, services growth, and higher margins. At a $5 trillion valuation, investors are expecting more than just solid results.

I'm also watching management's guidance closely. If Apple provides a confident outlook on AI adoption and future revenue growth, the market could support these levels. A cautious forecast, however, may trigger some profit-taking after the recent rally.

Personally, I remain bullish on Apple over the long term. Short-term volatility around earnings is normal, but I believe its ecosystem, loyal customer base, and AI strategy still provide a strong foundation for future growth.

I’m glad to see Apple share price hitting new high. There were investors who were sceptical that Apple would do well with higher component costs but I think they underestimate Apple.

Have a cup of ☕️ and think about it:

1. Tech stocks have been volatile these past two days, especially semiconductors, with clear risk-off sentiment, so both $BRK.B and $Apple(AAPL.US) have risen.

2. The AI narrative isn't over yet; it's still early to see actual application profits. However, bubbles exist everywhere. I suggest holding onto large 'cash cow' targets with wide moats.

3. So my recent strategy is to trim some $BRK.B and $Apple(AAPL.US) positions since they're at highs, and allocate to AI stocks I'm bullish on plus long calls. Consider it a portfolio rebalancing 🤔

Not investment advice!
