Apple added 0.53% to $312.51, a quiet grind on Best Buy's positive read-through (gadget demand + tax refunds) without major company-specific news.

AAPL is the defensive mega-cap in this tape — institutional buyers add it on dips when AI-trade volatility picks up. Lack of own catalyst makes it a beta + buyback story this week.

PCE Friday for rate sensitivity; any iPhone/services data point in the consumer channel. $315 resistance; support $308. WWDC overhang is still weeks out.

Bitcoin slipped to $73,558 (-1.06%) as risk assets diverged — equities rallied on ceasefire optimism while crypto faded. ETH down 0.76% in sympathy.

The Trump regulator dropping the Winklevoss case should be tailwind, but BTC dominance at 57.7% with falling prices says new flows aren't arriving. Crypto trades like a stale long here, not a fresh bid.

$72,000 is the line that turns this from chop into a real downside test. ETF flow data Friday; any positive headline on the Genius Act/regulation push could re-anchor. Resistance $75,500.
