Navigating Apple Stock: Uncertain Outlook, Regulatory Headwinds, and Investor Considerations

Apple stock has formed a "death cross" on its chart as its 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average, signaling potential further weakness. The stock's bearish features include declining relative strength, volume spikes on down days, and a dismal Accumulation/Distribution Rating. Analysts foresee more challenges for Apple due to waning demand, particularly in China, and modest profit and sales growth expectations. Apple's performance in 2024 has been lackluster, with only Tesla faring worse, and the company's profit outlook remains discouraging.
