Apple Inc. shares experienced a notable rally on August 6, 2025, with the stock rising more than 5% during regular trading hours and extending gains to nearly 10% including after-hours trading. The stock's price moved from approximately $210 to $219, marking one of the best daily performances relative to the S&P 500 since the previous year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). By August 7, Apple shares continued their upward momentum, breaking above the 200-day moving average at $221 and reaching their highest level since the so-called "Liberation Day." Market observers noted the breakout above the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) as a significant technical milestone, with some investors benefiting from June 2026 call options. Despite the rally, analysts remarked that Apple's trading pattern remains consistent with its historical performance, maintaining a steady approach to market movements. The stock's strong performance positioned it as one of the top gainers in the S&P 500 during this period.
