What stands out

Tom White points out a familiar but useful market wrinkle: Apple kept climbing even as the Nasdaq-100 sold off and the other Mag 7 names showed weak reactions after earnings. The clip focuses on Apple’s price action, steady strength inside a down tape, and walks through a concrete options idea that uses that technical edge. The visual contrast, AAPL moving higher while peers skid, makes the trade lesson easier to see and forces a clear question about whether Apple’s strength is idiosyncratic or simply short-covering.
