Apple rallied 2% to $293.32, just $1.44 from its all-time high. The 2026 chip war narrative — with Apple dominating custom silicon — fueled the bid.

Apple's vertical integration moat is finally being priced as an AI advantage. On-device AI processing via Apple Silicon gives it a unique privacy-first positioning.

ATH at $294.76 is one strong session away. WWDC in June with new AI features is the next major catalyst. Break above $295 targets $300.

Bitcoin slipped 1.7% to $80,707 as weekend liquidity thinned out. Failed to hold $82,000 support after a brief rally attempt.

BTC is stuck in no-man's land — too far from ATH to attract momentum buyers, too high for value accumulation. Equities are stealing the risk appetite.

$79,000 is the line. Break below opens $77,500 and potentially $75,000. ETF flow data Monday will signal institutional conviction.
