Short sellers are getting squeezed, and it’s plain to see.

They’ve been caught offside and are being forced to cover their positions.

They’re feeling the pain, and that’s exactly when we like to strike with our Freshly Squeezed strategy.

Here's our latest scan: 

As you can see, Phathom Pharma $PHAT, Applied Digital $APLD, and LZ Technology $TZMH are at the top of the leaderboard. 

Over the last 10 trading sessions, they've rallied 110.9%, 85.3%, and 66.9%, respectively.

Our long Sezzle $SEZL trade has also been ripping higher. The stock is up over 50% since we got long last month.

We also have tables sorted by short interest and days-to-cover.

Now, let's discuss today's setup and why we...

We got some nice feedback on our top-down scan from last weekend so I think we’ll make it a regular thing.

This is a clear and simple leadership scan, which is why I like it so much. 

We are drilling down to a trade idea following the traditional top down approach. It doesn’t get any better than that. 

We start with the best sectors, then drill into the subgroups. We pick one, and then take a look at the top stocks in it. 

This week, Materials is the big standout—jumping two spots in our sector rankings. It’s no surprise. Commodities are on a tear and participation is expanding. This means we should expect more materials stocks to start working. And we’re already seeing it. 

Upon digging deeper, we found Metals & Mining stocks have been doing a lot of the heavy lifting for the sector....

Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.

We've also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut. 

These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.

It's got all the big names and more–but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.

The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.

We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.

Let's dive in and take a look at some of the most important...

We just hosted a live breakdown of all the major commodity futures, including Copper, Gold, Cocoa, Crude, and more. 

From what’s breaking out, what’s lagging, and how we’re positioning.

If you trade commodities, this is must-see TV.

📺 Watch the full replay below 👇

We’ve talked at length about Gold’s breakout. 

But everyone has forgotten about Copper and other industrial metals.

Copper isn’t just some industrial input. It’s the backbone of the modern economy.

The price has gone nowhere for decades. But over that time, it has carved out a massive accumulation pattern that looks ready to explode higher.

This is a trade we’ve been preparing for, and it may finally be here.

We love our bottoms-up scans here at All Star Charts. We tend to get really creative when making new universes as we want to be sure they will deliver us the best opportunities the market has to offer.

However, when it comes to this one, it couldn't be any simpler!

With the goal of finding more bullish setups, we have decided to expand one of our favorite scans and broaden our regular coverage of the largest US stocks.

Welcome to The Junior Hall of Famers.

This scan is composed of the next 150 largest stocks by market cap, those that come after the top 150 and are thus covered by the Hall of Famers universe. Many of these names will someday graduate and join our original Hall Of Famers list. The idea here is to catch these big trends as early on as possible.

There is no need to overcomplicate things. Market cap is a quality filter at the end of the day. It only grows if price is rising. That's good enough for us.

The bottom line is it is a bull market. We...

The analyst team is serving up all kinds of scans these days. Technical scans, fundamental scans, sentiment scans, a little bit of everything. These guys are really having a blast. 

But they are just trying to make the most out of this bull market. They know how this works.

So, we’ve been scanning for speculative growth, international leadership, mega trends, rotation extremes, fading analysts and short-sellers,… we’ve even been running scans on warrants.

We’re going to keep sharing more and more of them each week.

But the scan of the week has to be the Matt Warder-inspired Metals, Mining & Minerals Leaderboard.

Matt has become a dear friend of All Star Charts over the years and was just with us a few weeks ago out in New Orleans. We are truly blessed as Matt has some of the deepest knowledge of natural resource stocks of anyone in the business, with a focus on minerals. 

When he came on the Morning Show the other day, he dropped as much alpha in 30 minutes as any guest ever has. We must...

Welcome to The 2 to 100 Club.

In this scan, we look to identify the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega cap status (over $200B).

Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.

But the scan doesn't just end there.

We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.

Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, and myriad others – would have been on this list at some point during their journey to becoming the market behemoths they are today.

When you look at the stocks in our table, you'll notice we're only focused on Technology and Growth industry groups such as Software, Semiconductors, Online...

Have you ever heard of the Nokkie-Stokkie?

It’s forex trader lingo for the Norwegian Krone/Swedish Krona… and right now this obscure cross is setting up for a classic failed breakdown.

After undercutting key support in early May, it’s snapping back toward this level now. And with each passing day, it’s looking more and more like a bear trap.

We’re not just writing about this unheard-of FX pair to amuse you. Believe it or not, the currency pair carries valuable insights.

It’s one of our most trusted intermarket energy whisperers.

So it's no surprise the scoop-n-score setup in the NOK/SEK looks almost identical to the one in Crude Oil Futures:

Crude is working on its own bear trap — carving out a tactical reversal pattern just below a shelf of former support.

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...

Welcome to The Minor Leaguers.

We've had some great trades come out of this small-cap-focused column since we launched it back in 2020 and started rotating it with our flagship bottom-up scan, Under the Hood.

For the first year or so, we focused only on Russell 2000 stocks with a market cap between $1 and $2B.

That was fun, but we wanted to branch out a bit and allow some new stocks to find their way onto our list.

We expanded our universe to include some mid-caps.

Nowadays, to make the cut for our Minor Leaguers list, a company must have a market cap between $1 and $4B.

And it doesn't have to be a Russell component — it can be any US-listed equity. With participation expanding around the globe, we want all those ADRs in our universe.

The same price and liquidity filters are applied. Then, as always, we sort by proximity to new...

One thing I’m looking to do more of here at ASC is share some of the scans we’re running internally each week.

Our roots are in top down technical analysis. We do it better than anyone. And we share a lot of it, but we don’t share enough.

We’re literally running hundreds of ad-hoc scans each week. And we’re going to start giving one away every weekend.

This one is a clear and simple leadership scan, which is why I like it so much. This is the textbook top down approach. It doesn’t get any better.

We start with the best sectors, drill into the best subgroups, pick one, and then find the top stocks.

This week, Industrials stand out as a clear leader—second only to Tech, up nearly 9% in May, and the first sector to complete the V-shaped recovery and retest all-time highs.

Within Industrials, the...

The nuclear energy trade just got a massive jolt of energy.

Last Friday, Uranium stocks exploded higher after President Donald Trump signed executive orders to revitalize U.S. nuclear energy production.

The result? The VanEck Uranium & Nuclear Energy ETF $NLR had its best single-day performance since 2008.

But this move isn’t just about headlines. It's also about the strong fundamentals and technicals behind it.

The AI revolution is massively increasing global power demand, and everyone is turning to nuclear energy to scale their operations.

Top tech firms know this, and they’re investing heavily in small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced nuclear infrastructure to power their data centers and server farms.

Meanwhile, geopolitical instability and the global push for energy security have made Uranium and nuclear development mission-critical for many countries.

That’s the story, and the market’s listening.

The VanEck Uranium & Nuclear Energy ETF holds the best names in the space, from heavyweights like Cameco $CCJ (~7%) and Constellation Energy $CEG (~8.7%) to fast-growing...
