Despite what you may have heard from the major cable networks, many stocks aren’t going down. In fact, many fit our definition of “strength.”
Out of all the fresh highs coming in, these three bellwethers take the cake…

If bond markets aren’t stressing, why should we be?
They’re the largest markets in the world. That’s why we constantly monitor credit spreads for signs of structural weakness and elevated risk.
But, as of now, we’re not seeing the slightest hint of impending catastrophe.
Despite the doom-and-gloom headlines popping up in your inbox and financial media talking heads spinning an imminent recession…
Credit spreads around the world are sending a clear message: “Relax.”

Is the dollar going to finally bounce?
I have no idea, but the euro will likely answer that question in the coming days.

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 The Hall of Famers, The 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 regular basis.

Is the dollar going to finally bounce?
As I pointed out last week, if there was ever a place or time – it’s’ now! But that doesn’t mean it’ll happen….
One thing is certain: The markets don’t care what I think. This includes the US dollar.
But when I look at a chart of the EUR/USD, the largest component of the US Dollar Index $DXY, it’s running into a logical level of resistance.
How the euro reacts to current levels will set the tone for the dollar in the coming weeks and months.

Welcome to Under the Hood, where we’ll cover all the action for the week ended January 6, 2023. This report is published bi-weekly and rotated with The Minor Leaguers.
What we do here is analyze the most popular stocks during the week and find opportunities to either join in and ride these momentum names higher, or fade the crowd and bet against them.
We use a variety of sources to generate the list of most popular names.
There are so many new data sources available that all we need to do is organize and curate them in a way that shows us exactly what we want: a list of stocks that are seeing an unusual increase in investor interest.
Click here for a behind-the-scenes look at our process.
Whether we’re measuring increasing interest based on large institutional purchases, unusual options activity, or simply our proprietary lists of trending tickers, there’s a lot of overlap.
