The Magnificent Seven stocks, except for Microsoft, all ended higher Monday, as the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF rallied 1.5%.
Alphabet advanced 1.7%, just shy of last week's new highs and back out of buy range beyond a 182.49 buy point in a cup with handle.
Meta Platforms rebounded 2.5% Monday, snapping a four-day losing streak and finding much-needed support at the 50-day line. The social media giant is just below a 602.95 buy point.
