In last week's letter, we outlined a handful of key bullish developments leading us to forecast a high probability of an upward resolution from this consolidation.

Alleviation of the selling in futures and renewed spot demand pointed to a high probability of Bitcoin resolving higher out of this multi-month trading range.

As of the writing of this note, we've seen this take place, with Bitcoin taking out resistance at 46,000.

More aggressive long positions are now warranted.

We are almost done with the first quarter of the calendar year and the last quarter of our financial year. There are certain sectors that are peeping out from beneath the surface and hence attracting attention. Is this a theme we may see play out in the quarter going forward? Most likely. Most sectors have remained sideways or subdued in their move and they are finally picking a side!

Today we are here to discuss one such sector and some interesting setups that one could take advantage of.

Let's see what's on the roster sheet today.

We mentioned this in the recently concluded conference call, and we'll say it again- Bouncebacks are here! From within the price bouncebacks that we're seeing certain sectors are displaying more strength. One such sector is the Industrials. We're talking about the Industrial Manufacturing sector, so don't go looking for the US sector XLI.

BUT, if you did, you wouldn't be entirely wrong. The Industrials sector (XLI) in the US is picking up pace as we speak. So this is one of those times where you see similar themes play out across different geographies. Fun when that happens, isn't it?...

It's Saturday Morning Chartoons time. 

This is the weekly post that aggregates all the charts we put together throughout the week and organizes them all into one, easy to flip through deck.

You can find the whole list of trades here.

Cyclical stocks are all the craze.

If you're doing well this year, it's because you own these stocks. If you're not, it's because you don't own these stocks.

Whether we're talking about energy, agricultural inputs, or industrial metals, these are the kinds of industry groups that are showing relative strength.

And, to be clear, this is nothing new. This theme has been in place for over a year now.

The only new development is that we're seeing upside momentum in these names pick up. As a result, the gap between these winners and the rest of the market has widened to historic levels.

The reason why many of these groups are working is simple. They make their money by selling various commodities, and the prices of those commodities continue to rise at an extraordinary pace.

As such, these "value stocks" are now growing their earnings and revenue at levels that make SAAS companies wish they were in the commodity business.

For much of my career, I've listened to investors clamor over...

Our Hall of Famers list is composed of the 150 largest US-based stocks.

These stocks range from the mega-cap growth behemoths like Apple and Microsoft – with market caps in excess of $2T – to some of the new-age large-cap disruptors such as Moderna, Square, and Snap.

It has all the big names and more.

It doesn’t include ADRs or any stock not domiciled in the US. But don’t worry; we developed a separate universe for that which you can check out here.

The Hall of Famers is simple.

We take our list of 150 names and then apply our technical filters so the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Let’s dive right in and check out what these big boys are up to.

Here’s this week’s list:

And here’s how we arrived at it:

• We filtered out any stocks that are below their May 10th 2021 high, which is when new 52-week highs peaked...

There is still one week to go before it ends, but Q1 2022 has been a remarkable quarter in many respects. If this year has taught us anything, it’s that a lot could change between now and when the closing bell rings next Thursday. But as it stands now, this will be the first down quarter for stocks since Q1 2020 and it will go down as the worst quarter for bonds in a very long time. Both stocks and bonds falling by more than just a marginal amount makes this a particularly forgettable quarter for investors in passive 60/40-type portfolios. There has been no place for them to hide. Not strength to offset weakness. Recent weak quarters for balanced portfolios saw strength in bonds offsetting weakness in stocks. Recent weak quarters for bonds have coincided with strength in stocks. The only somewhat similar experience in the past quarter century was Q3 2008 - bonds were down but only modestly. Two takeaways: First, this helps explain some of the dour mood among investors. Second, quarterly rebalancing this time around will have otherwise passive investors sell what has been weak (stocks) and buying what has been even weaker (bonds...

The ASC team, as always, threw out a bunch of actionable ideas in their most recent Mid-Monthly Conference Call. As you might expect, there's still a lot to like in the energy space. But it might have surprised you to see some bullish setups in some chinese and marijuana space names. I know it did me!

But one name in the Precious Metals sector piqued my interest and when I chatted with Steve Strazza about it this morning, he was pretty excited about it.

So what is this shiny new stock?

The biggest theme on our Hot List and Inside Scoop tables has been the strength from commodity stocks.

Since we launched the column, we’ve discussed the strength from energy stocks like Occidental Petroleum $OXY, agricultural stocks like Corteva $CTVA, and industrial metal names such as Freeport-McMoRan $FCX.

These names have all recently broken out and continue to show leadership. When the same theme continues to work, we want to continue to bet on it.

And that’s exactly what we’re doing with today’s setup.

Revolution Medicines $RVMD director Thilo Schroeder is back on our list for the third time in just two weeks with another Form 4 filing.

Following last week’s $3.4 million buy, he revealed an additional $5.5 million purchase in his latest filing.

We do a lot of intermarket analysis here at Allstarcharts.

We include all asset classes and countries in our process.

How can we not?

I mean we have the time.

This is what we do.

And so, Australian dollar vs. Japanese yen has historically been a great indicator for me to measure risk appetite. That's not just in the currency markets but, more importantly, in stocks and commodities as well.

So, take a look at what Bitcoin has been doing when compared to aussie/yen, one of my favorite intermarket relationships...

For this week's trade, we're putting on a GrowGeneration $GRWG January 7.5/15 Bullish Risk Reversal for a small net credit.

This means we’ll be selling Jan 7.5-strike puts short and using those proceeds to purchase an equal amount of Jan 15 calls

I had a chance to catch up with my friend Dave Keller this week. We talked about the overall market environment, touching specifically on market breadth and the implications of an accelerated tightening cycle by the Fed. You can check out a replay of the entire conversation here. 

At one point, Dave asked me about my perspective on one of the most important questions facing investors right now. It’s about labeling oneself as either a growth investor or a value investor, and how to operate within that framework in the current market environment.  

It’s important because it is pervasive. It’s important because it can be expensive. 

It’s important, but it’s also weird, leading investors to discount reality and operate within narratives. 

The question keeps coming up.

As it should.

"JC, do you think this bounce in Growth has legs?"

And the answer is that yes, I think it could. There are some nice trades in these beat up growth areas that have set up very nicely.

We discussed a few of these once again on Monday night.

But I believe this one really depends on your time horizon.

Can Growth outperform for a bit? Sure.

But do I think it can do that throughout the rest of the year?

No I don't.

Here's the Large-cap Growth vs Value in black, as well as the Small-cap Growth vs Value in Blue:

There’s a handful of large Form 4 purchases on today’s list.

Robert Gervis, director of Aspen Aerogels $ASPN, purchased $4.5 million of stock.

We can't help but notice that all the dinosaur coins are moving right now.

Those coins that got heavily pumped into 2017 and never recovered (think names like ZEC, DASH, XRP, XLM, ETC, etc.) have always gone through cycles of bleeding lower for months on end before getting aggressively pumped.

Just look at them over the last week or two.

When these bad boys move, they move.

There's one contrarian play we like from this rotation as a tactical long.

We debuted a new scan recently- The Outperformers.

The Outperformers is our newest scan that pinpoints the very best stocks in the market. It’s the fastest, easiest way to find quality names that are primed for major moves.

The goal is that as the market rally progresses, the sector rotation within the market will reflect in this scan. So while our Top/Down Analysis helps us with the broader view of the market, this Bottom/Up scan makes sure that we catch the slightest change in sentiment.

When investing in the stock market, we always want to approach it as a market of stocks.

Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks showing leadership and trending higher. We may have to look harder to identify them depending on current market conditions… but there are always stocks that are going up.

The same can be said for weak stocks. Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks that are going down, too. 

We already have multiple scans focusing on stocks making all-time highs, such as Hall of Famers, Minor Leaguers, and the 2 to 100 Club. We filter these universes for stocks that are exhibiting the best momentum and relative strength characteristics. 

Clearly, we spend a lot of time identifying and writing about leading stocks every week, via multiple reports. Now, we're also highlighting lagging stocks on a recurring basis.

Welcome to the Short Report.

We'll publish this column...

This one has to be the Chart of the Day.

We're looking at the outperformance of Square vs Paypal.
