IBD Leaderboard showcases Magnificent Seven stocks Nvidia, Meta Platforms, Microsoft and Amazon.com, as well as Shopify and new S&P 500 member Uber Technologies.
But as NVDA stock, META, AMZN and MSFT run into some turbulence, Wall Street wonders what's ahead for the Magnificent Seven stocks. Will the Santa Claus rally pick up steam or will these tech titans find lumps of coal in their stockings?
Uber stock got an early Christmas present as it continues to soar on news it will join the S&P 500 this month.
The Nasdaq and S&P 500 both faced a few days of selling pressure last week, but remain near their 52-week highs. Both indexes came off their earlier lows on Monday.
Meanwhile, Nvidia and Meta are now testing support at their 50-day moving averages as Amazon manages to bounc off its 21-day line. On Monday, MSFT stock opened the new week by slipping below that benchmark and its 366.78 buy point. Microsoft came off its lows Monday, ending the session right around the earlier buy point and its 21-day line.
Keep a close eye on how these AI stocks and others handle support and resistance at their moving averages and recent buy zones. That will continue to reveal if any pauses or pullbacks represent a healthy rest ahead of a bullish holiday season, or signs of trouble heading into the new year.
