The market mood stayed constructive as the Dow extended record highs and investor confidence continued to stabilize. The Fear and Greed Index improved again while remaining in neutral territory, signaling optimism without euphoria and suggesting traders remain selective rather than complacent.

$AAPL Apple slipped modestly as traders digested a flood of headlines, from analysts noting fundamentals may already be priced in to JPMorgan stepping in as the new Apple Card issuer, with heavy volume confirming continued institutional involvement despite the pullback.

$NVTS Navitas Semiconductor stayed bid as momentum traders remained active, with steady volume reflecting ongoing enthusiasm around AI data-center exposure even as valuation questions continue to hover in the background.

$APLD Applied Digital moved lower despite strong quarterly results, revenue beats, and fresh bullish analyst coverage, underscoring how profit-taking can surface quickly when expectations around AI infrastructure names run high.

$OS OneStream cooled slightly after its explosive merger-driven rally, but elevated volume signaled investors are reassessing valuation and deal implications rather than exiting the story outright.

$MSFT Microsoft advanced as technical strength aligned with its AI narrative, pushing above a key long-term moving average while robotics and cloud growth headlines reinforced longer-term confidence.

$GOOG Alphabet led to the upside again, helping lift broader indices as investors leaned into its multi-year AI opportunity set, with strong volume reflecting sustained conviction.

$ACI Albertsons sank sharply after trimming its full-year outlook, as concerns over margins and sales guidance overshadowed an earnings beat and dividend declaration, triggering heavy selling pressure.

$XOM Exxon Mobil pulled back as energy stocks softened, with cautious options positioning suggesting large players are hedging after the sector’s recent strength.

$MRNA Moderna extended its rebound as bullish technical signals, rising analyst targets, and upcoming healthcare catalysts kept buyers engaged and momentum building.

$GME GameStop remained volatile and active, climbing again as renewed focus on Ryan Cohen and changes to the company’s stock plan reignited speculative interest into the close.
