Apple’s stock plummeted overnight, wiping out 1.8 trillion in value. $BTC broke below 59,000 as well, and ETH also fell out of 1,600—this market, where both sides are taking hits, isn’t only punishing Apple fans.
First, let’s get clear on what Apple itself has been doing. Apple quietly changed the price tags on its official website. Mac prices rose 15%-20%, iPads rose 15%-25%, and the base-model MacBook Air jumped by $200 to $1,299. Cook said this is a “once in a century” surge in memory costs. AI data centers have bid up storage-chip prices to four times what they used to be, and Micron’s HBM production capacity has already been sold out through 2027. Apple says it has never seen any component spike so hard and so fast.
But the market doesn’t argue with you. If you raise prices, I’ll dump. At the close at $275.15, down 6.12%, it evaporated $263.3 billion overnight—gone like a single Moutai. Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Nvidia all followed suit, and the Nasdaq fell for four straight days.
Most ironic is another line: Micron’s net profit surged 15-fold, gross margin jumped to over 81%, and then SanDisk and Western Digital also rallied. Apple is working for the chip makers; the chip makers are working for the AI data centers; the data centers are working for large models. On that chain, who’s making money is obvious.
But there’s also disagreement. A strategist at Seaport Bank said the market no longer treats storage price hikes as a natural positive for AI. Apple’s price increase has shaken the belief that “AI demand is infinite.” With high costs being passed on to cloud providers and consumers, it may ultimately suppress AI spending instead. The moment good news has run its course is often exactly when you need to be most alert to a turning point.
$BTC is even more direct. Long positions got liquidated, and short positions aren’t necessarily safe either. After two straight days of dumping, if the shorts run into a deep-V rebound, they’ll get cleaned up too. The 60,500-61,500 area overhead is a suppression zone. Below, first watch whether 59,500 can hold; if it can’t, then look at 58,500 and 57,500. With ETH also losing 1,600, 1,580-1,630 is rebound resistance, and support is at 1,530.
Apple’s current price hike isn’t an isolated event. Storage makers are earning extraordinary, certain profits in the present—but the consumer-end price elasticity has already been voted down by the market with its feet. If even Apple can’t withstand cost pressure, then the pricing logic across the entire tech consumer chain may have to be recalculated. For $BTC and ETH, this isn’t a standalone U.S. stock story—it’s a more realistic example of cost transmission driven by macro risk-asset linkage.
