Reason: AAPL closed in further on a fresh 52-week high - now just -0.82% away, RSI up to 69.1 on a +3.77% week; GOOGL recovered from last read's near-oversold flag (RSI 32.8 to 42.1); NVDA's reversal-higher gave itself back; MSFT ticked up on RSI but its weekly print stayed negative.

Tape Read

$AAPL remains the complex's leader and closed the distance further: RSI 69.1 (up from 65.4), a +3.77% week (was -0.22%), +20.71% 30D (was +13.63%), now just -0.82% off its 52-week high (was -3.98%) — still golden-cross, thesis flagged intact, and not yet back into the overbought extreme seen two reads ago. $GOOGL recovered from last read's flag: RSI 42.1 (up sharply from 32.8, was near-oversold), 7D improved to -3.87% (was -7.79%), -18.33% off its 52-week high (improved from -22.25%) — the "genuine decline" call from last cycle has stabilized, thesis still flagged intact. $NVDA's reversal-higher gave itself back: RSI 43.0 (down from 51.0), 7D -4.96% (was +1.99%) — the pause-and-reverse flagged last read reversed again within a cycle. $MSFT ticked up on RSI to 51.5 (from 44.5) but the weekly print stayed negative at -1.11% (was -3.08%), still death-crossed and -29.18% off its 52-week high (roughly flat from -31.3%) — still the most damaged name in the group.

• $AAPL — PROMOTE: RSI 69.1 (up from 65.4), strong-up, golden cross, -0.82% off 52wk high (was -3.98%) — the leader keeps closing the distance to a fresh high without yet re-entering the prior overbought extreme.
• $GOOGL — WATCH (upgraded from PASS): RSI 42.1 (up sharply from 32.8), 7D -3.87% (improved from -7.79%) — the near-oversold decline from last cycle has stabilized, thesis flagged intact.
• $NVDA — WATCH (downgraded): RSI 43.0 (down from 51.0), 7D -4.96% (was +1.99%) — last cycle's reversal-higher gave itself back.
• $MSFT — PASS: RSI 51.5 (up from 44.5), still death-crossed, -29.18% off 52wk high — still the most damaged name in the group despite the RSI tick-up.

Lead pick: $AAPL remains the clear leader, now within a percentage point of a fresh 52-week high. $GOOGL is the one to note: two reads of deteriorating into near-oversold territory just stabilized into a genuine recovery.
