## What to watch
- **trigger**: AAPL Q3 earnings reaction and whether Mag 7 divergence (beats sold, misses punished harder) extends the mega-cap tech rotation

## Risks
- **risk**: Elevated Street Buy counts (42 GOOGL, 23 AAPL, 20 TSLA) have not yet repriced for multi-quarter margin pressure and AI/capex duration risk, leaving the complex open to further multiple compression after overnight drawdowns.
- **likelihood** (medium): Post-earnings slides of ~7% in GOOGL and ~14.5% in TSLA show the market is already discounting some disappointment, yet sparse Sell ratings and still-heavy Buy tallies imply consensus models lag structural search and auto-margin headwinds.
- **impact** (high): Continued de-rating across three mega-caps would amplify Mag7 and index volatility and force crowded long unwinds given their weight in passive and momentum books.
- **mitigant**: A clean AAPL print on 30 Jul or sustained Alphabet cloud outperformance could re-anchor sentiment and cap contagion.
