According to The Kobeissi Letter, hedge funds’ long/short ratio on Magnificent 7 stocks has dropped to approximately 2.5x, marking the lowest level on record. This bearish positioning contrasts with the 3.0x ratio seen at the end of the 2022 bear market, indicating a significant shift in institutional sentiment. For traders, this highlights increased caution among institutional investors toward leading tech stocks, which could impact price volatility and short-term momentum strategies.
