These results will hammer out the marketโs next major move, and forward guidance will be the difference between breakout and breakdown!
Now to the main event: $AAPL.
The stock has rolled over, with not much technical support left above 210.
It is now facing its first 200-week moving average test since 2018. Serious territory!
Fundamentally, Apple remains a powerhouse. Its dividend, first reinstated in 2012 after Steve Jobs resisted for years, has grown like clockwork ever since.
The next dividend hike is locked for early May, but the question is not if it rises, it is whether the stock itself can escape the gravitational pull of trade war headwinds and slowing growth.
Perspective matters:
โข $AAPL trades 7.6% below its 200-day moving average of $226.50
โข It is still up a staggering 193% from five years ago
โข But the stock is down around 20% from recent highs
Appleโs dividend remains safe even through prolonged geopolitical turmoil, but current earnings estimates are almost certainly too high and due for a haircut.
The long-term trend? Still magnificent.
The short-term? A battlefield.
Comparing titans:
$AAPL vs Samsung reveals the full picture:
โข Appleโs profits crush Samsungโs by more than 4X
โข Appleโs market cap outmuscles Samsung by more than 12X
โข Yet Samsung offers a fatter dividend yield at 2.60% compared to Appleโs modest 0.51%
๐๐ Apple is an empire, no question. But even empires face sieges, and right now, $AAPL is navigating a high-stakes global chessboard.
๐ข Donโt miss out! Like, Repost and Follow me for exclusive setups, cutting-edge trends, and insights that move markets ๐๐ Iโm obsessed with hunting down the next big movers and sharing strategies that crush it. Letโs outsmart the market and stack those gains together! ๐
Trade like a boss! Happy trading ahead, Cheers, BC ๐๐๐๐๐

that 200 week SMA ๐คฏ wow
my main concern this week is the market sentiment and all the fear that is on right now ๐ฎ
even with good earnings data, stock can go the other way ๐ค
agree with you 100% this earnings week will impact the market, have to be really careful and set SL/TP to avoid nasty surprises
Analyst comments: "We believe it is unlikely many of these key debates are addressed at earnings, and therefore do not see the print as a key catalyst for the stock, with shares likely to remain range-bound near term โ $170 remains the floor on the stock, while our new $235 price target is the ceiling. However, we expect some clarity to emerge on tariffs, China, AI, iPhone growth, and/or regulatory issues in the coming 12 months. Given Apple remains the most underowned megacap in the world, we still see a path to our $235 price target and $284 bull case valuation, which we expect would be driven by both positive estimate revisions and multiple expansion, as strong free cash flow conversion and Services growth remain underappreciated valuation tailwinds compared to other megacaps."
