Furthermore, Apple’s stock price is approaching a significant technical level. As a percentage of the Nasdaq 100 index’s value. However, in the past, the stock price has risen above this level and then fallen.
Investors anticipate future Apple
Investors anticipate that consumers will continue to pay top money for iPhones, MacBooks. And services like Apple TV and Apple Music, as the world’s most valuable firm surpassed the milestone.

The answer is based on how one evaluates Apple’s capacity to maintain its 15-year run of extraordinary growth.
