A recent survey of options trading in the S&P 500's most active stocks suggests the 'Magnificent Seven' tech giants—Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, and AMD—may drive the index to new highs this earnings season.

If these stocks perform well, it could lead to a major shift in market leadership, as some have lagged behind recently.
