Breaking into price discovery matters for a stock carrying a $4.1 trillion valuation because institutional portfolios are sized accordingly. When a mega-cap clears a 52-week high, funds that benchmark to price levels or use technical triggers get a signal to add rather than wait, compounding buying pressure beyond what the initial move suggests.
