4 Breakout Magnificent Seven Stocks To Watch

Aside from being AI giants on the IBD Breakout Stocks Index, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Nvidia stock have another thing in common: testing support at key moving averages.

While taking a breather and pulling back in recent days, Nvidia stock continues to test support at its 50-day line. On Wednesday, Nvidiais briefly cleared, then fell right back below its 21-day exponential moving average. The stock closed the session 4% below the 476.09 double-bottom buy point it cleared last month.

After bouncing off its 21-day line, Apple stock popped up over 2% Tuesday to clear a 192.93 handle entry. On Wednesday, AAPL stock has slipped just below that entry. The iPhone maker remains on pace for a sixth straight up week as its relative strength line trends higher. The stock has endured choppy action since the end of July.

Microsoft stock also recently retook its 21-day line and climbed back into buy range. The IBD Long-Term Leader is now testing both of those benchmarks. Parroting MSFT, Amazon stock cotninues to test its own buy zone after retaking its 21-day line earlier.

Since the Magnificent Seven stocks account for around half the weighting of the Nasdaq, any strengthening or weakening of Amazon, Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft has a significant impact on the tech-heavy index.
