While the price and volume components are in place for H&S tops on AAPL, NYA and many broad indices, we would note for the record that a H&S pattern only becomes actionable if and when the neckline is broken. But an important heads up (so to speak) nonetheless....

Where's the "Pattern Police"?
AAPL is not in a Head & Shoulders top pattern. For one thing, left shoulder marks the 1st peak of the formation. Therefore, there has to be a distinct decline from that 1st peak in order to form the left shoulder. The Neckline is then established by connecting the low of that 1st decline with the low of the decline from the Head.
If anything, this is more fitting as a Broadening Wedge breakout.

Someone cut the left jugular and AAPL is bleeding.

Diogenes would have added "NYMO" to this chart also. Funny guy!

Not "would have", always do add "NYMO" to an AAPL chart and most every other chart for that matter.
In this particular instance, the NYMO ticked up on the close of 4/24 (as did the NAMO), giving a clear read that, with AAPL and the NAZ Comp down five days in a row, breadth had turned bullish going into AAPL's earnings announcement. No wonder there was such an explosion in the stock. AAPL was at 560 on the close of 4/24. The next day it closed up nearly 8.5 percent and given that that was three standard deviations of a winning NYMO signal on AAPL some traders would automatically take that profit.
Other traders might take the top of the gap, the low of 4/25, as a stop and take 46 points of profit out of the stock at 606. Or another trader might still be holding the 24 points of profits from 4/24 and looking for another move to the upside. Sell signals are individual.Add "NYMO" to an AAPL chart? No $hit! That's where the the money is made.

Yeah! If NYMO didnt turn "bullish" 2 days before AAPL announcement, AAPL would have tanked to 500$. You are living up to what I said above.
Does the EPS they announce, millions of phones and pads also depend on "breadth turning bullish" 2 days ago?
