Apple stock is giving out all ‘Bearish' signals. The stock price languishes below the eight, 20, 50, and 200-day moving averages.
The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator? A negative 3.23. 
The RSI (relative strength index)? At 29.89, the stock is in the oversold territory. This usually triggers a rebound but the lack of buying pressure and the negative MACD do not support it currently, for Apple stock.
Translation: Wall Street isn&#8217;t feeling the love for Apple right now.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Morgan Stanley Sounds The Alarm On Apple's AI Delay</h2>
And now, Morgan Stanley is turning up the heat, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44273437">slashing its price target</a> from $275 to $252. The <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apples-ai-strategy-is-showing-troubling-cracks-150559429.html">reason</a>? 
Apple's AI ambitions are running late. The much-anticipated upgrade to Siri — expected to be a game-changer for iPhone upgrades — is now delayed, throwing a wrench into Apple's iPhone sales projections for 2025 and 2026.
The firm is now forecasting flat iPhone shipments in 2025 and a modest 6% growth in 2026, with revenue and EPS projections trailing consensus estimates.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI Setback Threatens Apple's iPhone Sales Outlook</h2>
AI was supposed to be Apple's golden ticket to an iPhone supercycle, but the delay in rolling out Apple Intelligence has left consumers unimpressed. According to Morgan Stanley, half of iPhone owners who skipped the iPhone 16 cited the delayed AI rollout as a reason. 
And Apple's biggest rival, Samsung, isn't waiting around — its latest devices, packed with Google's Gemini AI, are already hitting the market.
Beyond the AI hiccup, Apple is also grappling with a $2 billion tariff-related cost headache in 2025, adding to its list of woes. 
While a redesigned iPhone 17 could offer some relief, the reality is that Apple's AI execution is looking more like a stumble than a sprint.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Apple Recover From Its AI Stumble?</h2>
Apple has seen stumbles before &#8211; AirPods and Apple Watch both started slow before becoming massive hits. 
But investors hoping for a quick turnaround might need some patience. The AI race isn't over yet, but for now, Apple is playing catch-up while its stock takes a hit.

Trader Notes: Crypto analyst Kevin <a href="https://x.com/Kev_Capital_TA/status/1899641945879916576">explained</a> that Bitcoin is currently back-testing key technical levels, including the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement, macro trend lines and the 200-week SMA &amp; EMA, while the 3-day RSI is at historical lows. 
If BTC holds its levels and macro conditions improve, he believes this could be the last chance to buy Dogecoin at a relatively cheap price with a strong risk-reward setup.
Crypto trader Wizz remains bullish, <a href="https://x.com/CryptoWizardd/status/1899546767135277563">stating</a> that DOGE is his biggest bag and predicting the meme coin could hit $1 or beyond this cycle.
Trader Tardigrade sees DOGE mirroring its previous bottom pattern, highlighting the RSI entering the oversold zone, a second lower low forming while RSI remains stable and a similar setup preceded past bull runs. 
"If history repeats, an upcoming Bull Run is ahead," he stated.

Shares of oil and gas companies are trading higher after Canada's Energy Minister threatened to restrict crude oil exports to the US over tariffs. Also, oil is trading higher following a draw in US crude oil inventories.

On Wednesday, JP Morgan analyst Mark Strouse shared his insights on the clean energy sector during <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">a recap of fourth-quarter earnings</a>.
The analyst writes that power demand remains strong, particularly in utility-scale projects, with growing backlogs across all companies in this subsector.
While utility-scale challenges like transformer availability and financing have mostly stabilized, project-specific issues are projected to persist in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color" rel="noreferrer noopener">the near term, adds the analyst</a>.
Strouse says that the U.S. residential solar sector remains weak due to high interest rates, financing challenges, and lower growth projections from major installers.
The analyst expects clarity on potential changes to the Inflation Reduction Act to be a key near-term catalyst, with increasing Republican support in the House of Representatives.
Strouse writes that until policy clarity improves, he will continue to favor companies with strong U.S. manufacturing exposure, diversified markets, and long-term cash flow visibility.
This includes NEXTracker (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXT#NASDAQ">NXT</a>), GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>), First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) and HASI (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HASI#NYSE">HASI</a>), adds the analyst.
GEV: Strouse writes that while AI-related headlines may introduce short-term stock volatility, he notes the ongoing rise in gas power prices and customer demand for turbines will provide confidence in the company's future performance.
Additionally, the strong position of GEV's Electrification backlog supports the view that the company can achieve significant earnings growth over the next four years, regardless of hyperscaler capex plans.
GEV is a U.S. Equity Analyst Focus List pick. The analyst kept the price forecast at $436<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/gev/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> with an Overweight rating</a>.
FSLR: The analyst anticipates the company will see a strong rebound in bookings during FY25, increasing visibility into FY27 and beyond, potentially at higher pricing if new tariffs or FEOC regulations are introduced.
The analyst kept the price forecast at $268, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/fslr/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with an Overweight rating</a>.
NXT: Strouse says that the company&#8217;s scale, margin resilience, strong balance sheet, and geographic diversification make it a safe bet for investors in the current market.
The analyst maintained the price forecast of $61 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/nxt/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and an Overweight rating</a>.
HASI: The analyst says that his estimates remain largely unchanged and updated the price forecast from $39 to $42 to reflect a ~30bps decline in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hasi/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a risk-free rate since the last update</a>.
