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.
Monitoring the Relative Trends in Silver Miners
From the desk of Louis Sykes @haumicharts
Whenever we want to gauge animal spirits in the precious metals space, we resort to our trusty intermarket ratios.
Two weeks ago in our Gold report, we covered the notable bounce we were witnessing in the Silver/Gold ratio, pointing to brewing risk appetite within this space. And this week, we outlined a bullish trade in the iShares Silver ETF off the back of this recent momentum.
But when we take this relationship one step further, we see a similar situation in the relationship between Silver and Gold mining stocks.
Classic Bull Market Behavior in Credit
Credit spreads have tightened a good deal since October.
I can’t help but think this is just more classic bull market behavior.
As the major US equity indices have been rallying into year end, we’ve seen confirmation out of a number of credit ratios we track to gauge risk appetite within fixed income markets. Specifically, the the iShares High Yield Corporate Bond ETF $HYG is trading at 52-week highs relative to the iShares 3-7yr Treasury Bond ETF $IEI.
International Hall of Famers (12-08-2023)
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
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 stocks from around the world.
Germany Hits New All-time Highs
[Options Premium] Calling All Degens!
The speculative juices are returning to the cryptocurrency space, and the bulls are starting to reemerge from the shadows as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many of the smaller (MOAR!) speculative names are starting some eye-popping gains.
As equities traders, we don’t have a proper spot ETF to play anything in the crypto space, but the closest thing we have is Microstrategy $MSTR.
So we’re going to use this vehicle to make a speculative bet on a potential upside-down waterfall move in Bitcoin. [Read more…]
Junior Hall of Famers (12-07-2023)
From the Desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
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 our latest project, 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 want as many vehicles and options to express our bullish thesis as possible. This is a good way to do just that.
Let’s dive right in and check out what these future big boys are up to.
December Strategy Session: 3 Key Takeaways
From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza
We held our December Monthly Strategy Session last night. Premium Members can access and rewatch it here.
Non-members can get a quick recap of the call simply by reading this post each month.
By focusing on long-term, monthly charts, the idea is to take a step back and put things into the context of their structural trends. This is easily one of our most valuable exercises as it forces us to put aside the day-to-day noise and simply examine markets from a “big-picture” point of view.
With that as our backdrop, let’s dive right in and discuss three of the most important charts and/or themes from this month’s call.
