As a whole, the Power Gauge is "bearish" on the Magnificent Seven... This mega-cap group includes Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), and Tesla (TSLA).

The Market's 'Canary' Looks Bleak By Marc Chaikin, founder, Chaikin Analytics As a whole, the Power Gauge is "bearish" on the Magnificent Seven... This mega-cap group includes Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), and Tesla (TSLA). To be clear, I'm not saying that all these stocks get an individual "bearish" rating. Only two of them get a negative grade right now. That doesn't mean all the others are doing massively better, though... In fact, not a single Magnificent Seven stock gets a "bullish" or better rating today. You see, we can track this group of stocks in the Power Gauge with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven Fund (MAGS). And MAGS is struggling. As I said, the Power Gauge gives it a "bearish" rating right now. The fund is also down about 10% so far this year. Now, it's tempting to think this might not affect your portfolio much – especially if you don't own shares of MAGS. But that's not the case...

And tonight, he's issuing his biggest warning yet. The recent sell-off is likely just the start... which is why he's urging you to make ONE critical move with your money. Find the full details here (includes two free recommendations). Bigger Than Oil (New Critical Asset up 69X) Oil is soaring... stocks are in the red... and the war in Iran is ramping up. But American military suppliers are already warning of a new crisis, which is already beginning to bite. It could deliver the biggest gains of your life, says one legendary insider, but only if you move fast. Everything you need to know is here. Dark Clouds Are Gathering Over the Markets Earlier this month, I warned about a potential market correction. As I told Chaikin PowerFeed readers...   Keep in mind that the Magnificent Seven collectively represent about one-third of the total weight of the S&P 500 [Index]. So if these stocks struggle... there's a good chance the S&P 500 does, too. And in late January, my colleague Joe Austin sounded caution on the performance of the Magnificent Seven as a whole. As he noted, the group was already stumbling. And unless these stocks regained their strength, they could be the "canary in the coal mine" for the broader market. When that essay from Joe was published, the Power Gauge had recently changed its tune on MAGS. It downgraded the fund to "neutral" for the first time since the "Liberation Day" sell-off last year. Of course, we know that the downward trend for MAGS continued. Since Joe's PowerFeed essay on January 23, the fund is down nearly 11%. Put simply, folks... the "canary" of the markets isn't looking good. To make matters worse, we don't know how long the war with Iran could continue to drag on. And the turmoil adds to the risk of a heavy downturn for the markets. This chaos is a perfect recipe for a severe financial storm. The Canary Tells Investors That It's Time to Act As regular readers know, we use the State Street SPDR S&P 500 Fund (SPY) and the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) to measure the broad S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index, respectively. Since the start of 2026, SPY is down by roughly 4%. And QQQ is down by nearly 5%. SPY also earns a "neutral" rating in the Power Gauge right now. And QQQ's grade is "bearish." When we look closer, the ratings breakdown for each fund's holdings is also concerning... In SPY, 153 stocks in the fund are "bearish" or worse. That compares with 78 "bullish" or better ones. And in QQQ, only 16 stocks get a positive grade compared with 37 that get a negative rating. In both funds, the number of "bearish" or worse stocks heavily outweighs the number of "bullish" or better ones. Put simply, it's not hard to see what the Magnificent Seven canary is warning us about... There are dark clouds gathering over the market today. As such, you need to be prepared – and have a plan for a financial "hurricane." Here at Chaikin Analytics, we use the Power Gauge to navigate dangerous conditions – or any market conditions.
