AAPL $305.59 -8.4% 30d

Editorial Note: AAPL at $260.77 RSI 56 remains the Mag7 anchor — boring in the best way. Golden cross intact, +4.2% vs SMA200, flat on the week (-0.5% 7D), flat on the month (0.0% 30D). While AMZN surges +10% and TSLA crashes -4%, Apple sits at RSI 56 doing nothing. The stock is trading at exactly its SMA50 ($260.85). This is textbook consolidation: no momentum in either direction, waiting for a catalyst. The Services revenue narrative and iPhone 18 cycle are the next catalysts. At 32.2% 1Y return and +3.5% alpha vs SPY, Apple is a market-tracking compounder — not exciting, not broken.
