Sevens Report: Small-Cap Rally May Accelerate in 2026

/in , /by

Tyler Richey says improving macro trends could fuel further gains in smaller stocks.

Most and least shorted REIT stocks with up to $2B market cap as of mid-Feb

Small-cap stocks are off to a strong start in 2026, significantly outperforming large-cap benchmarks. While the S&P 500 has hovered slightly in negative territory year to date, small-cap indexes have posted solid gains, reflecting renewed investor appetite for risk.

According to Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, the rally in smaller companies could intensify as the year progresses. With inflation trending lower, interest-rate cuts looming, and economic conditions remaining relatively stable, the macro backdrop appears increasingly supportive for small caps.

Improving financial conditions tend to benefit smaller firms disproportionately, as they are often more sensitive to borrowing costs and domestic economic growth. If expectations for monetary easing materialize, that could further strengthen the rotation into the segment.

As positioning shifts and macro conditions evolve, Sevens Report suggests small caps could remain an area of focus for investors seeking performance beyond mega-cap stocks.

Sevens Report: U.S.-Iran Talks Leave Geopolitical Risks Elevated

/in , /by

Tyler Richey says stalled negotiations keep markets on edge despite open channels.

Oil markets are on edge over elevated risks of a U.S. military strike against Iran this weekend

Geopolitical risks remain largely unchanged following the latest U.S.-Iran discussions, according to Sevens Report Research. Co-editor Tyler Richey said the talks failed to deliver progress on the core issues facing both sides, leaving tensions at roughly the same level as before the meetings.

Richey noted that while the lack of breakthroughs is disappointing, the fact that negotiations did not collapse entirely still matters for markets. Open communication channels reduce the odds of an immediate escalation, but they do not eliminate near-term risks.

With tensions still elevated, Richey said the possibility of military action cannot be dismissed, particularly over a short time horizon. That uncertainty helps explain why many traders are reluctant to hold short positions heading into the weekend, when headline risk is highest.

He added that newly announced sanctions are best viewed as incremental pressure designed to accelerate negotiations rather than a signal of imminent conflict. For now, Sevens Report believes geopolitical uncertainty will remain a background risk factor rather than a dominant market driver unless energy supplies are directly threatened.

The Natural-Gas Market Is Primed For Volatility In The Near Term Says Sevens Report

/in , /by

Warmer weather could easily serve as a catalyst for a significant price drop in natural gas says Tyler Richey.

Natural-gas prices extend their rally, but analysts warn of volatility tied to this week’s contract expiration

The natural-gas market is primed for more volatility in the near term, “with multiple dollar price swings” possible as icy and snowy weather continues to pound the eastern part of the U.S. and as below-average temperatures are expected to linger this week, said Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research. “But the prospects of warmer weather in early February could easily serve as a catalyst for a significant price drop in natural gas, with its futures market traditionally one of the most volatile in the entire commodity complex,” he said.

Bearish Bitcoin Forecasts Flag $70K as Key Support Level

/in , /by

Analysts warn of a potential drop to $55K–$57K in a severe macro downturn.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction 2025 2026 2027 – 2030

The most cautious credible forecasts see Bitcoin falling to the $70K–$75K range if key support fails, with a worst-case scenario targeting $55K–$57K during a major macro sell-off. Analysts including Tyler Richey of Sevens Report and 10X Research identify these zones as critical downside markers. Veteran trader Peter Brandt assigns about a 25% chance to such a pullback but notes that a sharp correction could ultimately lay the groundwork for a stronger bullish recovery.

Tyler Richey Quoted in Troymedia.com as Oil Oversupply Pressures Grow

/in , /by

OPEC+ blinks as oil oversupply pressures grow

The World Bank Group forecasts that excess global oil supply could average four million bpd by 2026. That kind of surplus has consequences. U.S. benchmark West Texas oil prices “could fall as low as the mid-US$30s within a year if the sizable physical market surplus expected in 2026 becomes reality,” said Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research.

Sevens Report’s Tyler Richey Quoted in AInvest.com

Dow Theory’s warning sign continues to flash

FedEx Earnings to Provide Clues on Stock Market Rally’s Fate

While the Dow Theory’s warning sign continues to flash, some strategists argue that it has little merit in the digital age, missing out on the significant role of vertically integrated retailers like Amazon and Walmart that handle their own shipping and delivery. Nevertheless, the Sevens Report’s Tyler Richey suggests that the Dow Theory should be used in conjunction with other indicators to get a full picture of the economy.

Sevens Report Analysts Weigh Bitcoin Risks Amid Bullish Momentum

Some see corrections as healthy for long-term growth

Bitcoin’s Resilience: Why Bearish Predictions Fail to Dampen Institutional Adoption and Real-World Growth

Skeptics often lean on traditional economic models that overlook Bitcoin’s unique traits: its fixed supply, programmability, and role as a hedge against fiat devaluation.

Tyler Richey of The Sevens Report and veteran trader Peter Brandt have both issued bearish targets, though framed more as risk assessments than certainties.

Brandt, for instance, assigns only a 25% probability to a pullback toward $55,000–$57,000. He notes that such corrections, while sharp, could ultimately strengthen Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory.

AI Euphoria Driving Market Bubble? Sevens Report Co-Editor Warns

Tyler Richey compares tech rally to Looney Tunes—gravity may come next

US stocks soar to new highs as fears of bubble bursting rise

As U.S. stocks soar to record highs, Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, warns the market may be approaching a bursting point.

“Every market bubble in modern history has had a narrative,” said Richey. “In 2000, it was the internet. In 2008, real estate. In 2025, it’s AI.” With NVIDIA’s market cap jumping $1.933 trillion since April, Richey likens the chip sector’s run to the Road Runner, while the S&P 500 plays Wile E. Coyote—suspended in midair, just before the fall.

He pointed to:

  • Multidecade extremes in relative strength

  • Technical imbalances across sectors

  • Bearish sentiment divergence despite index highs

“A downward force that the broader stock market could very well be on the brink of facing itself,” Richey warned.

The valuation is flawed by earnings per share

The valuation is flawed by earnings per share: Sevens Report Co-Editor, Tyler Richey Quoted in S&P Global

S&P 500 valuations stumble on tariff uncertainty

While the forward P/E ratio is widely viewed as the best measure of a stock or index’s fair value, the valuation is flawed by earnings per share and assumptions of fair market multiples from Wall Street analysts, portfolio managers and strategists, said Tyler Richey, a co-editor with Sevens Report Research.

“So effectively, both sets of proverbial goal posts are constantly being moved amid earnings estimate revisions and shifting geopolitical and macroeconomic landscapes impacting multiples,” Richey said. “Specifically, when volatility picks up meaningfully, it is very challenging to recalculate multiples based on fluid fundamental changes impacting the markets.”

More S&P 500 stocks are trading below their 200-day MAs than their 50-day MAs

The primary negative influences on copper: Tyler Richey, editor of Sevens Report Technicals Quoted in MarketWatch

More S&P 500 stocks trade below 200-day moving average than 50-day moving average

“The fact that more S&P 500 stocks are trading below their 200-day MAs than their 50-day MAs continues to support the case that the rally off the April 2025 lows remains a countertrend move in an otherwise still downward-trending market,” Tyler Richey, editor of Sevens Report Technicals, wrote in a Monday note.

Using the 2022 bear market as a guide, a test of the 50% level in the percentage of S&P 500 companies that are trading above their 200-day moving average “should not come as a surprise ahead of another washout as initial attempts to find a bottom in this bear market commence,” Richey wrote.
