We've built a proprietary scan that notifies us whenever a cryptocurrency exceeds a certain market-cap threshold for the first time. When there's an up and coming cryptocurrency, we're the first one to know about it.

This scan flags breakthrough cryptocurrencies, allowing us to capitalize on lucrative opportunities before they become mainstream.

In today's Daily Digest, we'll review:

1. New position in XRT today.
2. No adjustments are needed today.
3. Exited XLV at profit target.
4. Current status of open campaigns.

Let's dig in!

The most significant insider transaction comes in a Form 4 filing by Blue Star Exploration Corp. and director Jerry Jones, owner of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.

Blue Star and Jones revealed a roughly $100 million purchase in Comstock Resources Inc $CRK.

One of my favorite setups is when you have a major "top" formation, that doesn't actually turn into a reversal pattern and top for the market.

A recent example was in shares of Disney.

If you guys recall, this one looked like a major top, sentiment was down in the dumps, and we were buyers at 80.

Here we are with Disney at 120 and hitting new 52-week highs.

I gotta tell you, this setup in Energy looks exactly like that.

Look at this chart below - it's got all the hallmarks of a top:

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.

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

Pop the champagne!

Gold reached new all-time highs. 

Now, whether we consider the shiny yellow rock a viable investment is another story.

You know I’m bullish…  

Yet I can’t overlook silver's lack of participation.

We're getting into Squeeze Season.

The stock market (as measured by the indexes) continues to trek higher, speculative fervor keeps building (as measured by what's happening in crypto), and these forces are combining to make it a dangerous environment to be caught short in.

And if you're short a name that already has a high short interest? Look out!

So naturally, today's trade is a play on punishing the stubborn shorts in a particular stock that look like they are on the verge of getting epically squeezed.

In today's Flow Show on Stock Market TV, me and Strazza get into why we love buying short-dated calls in Carvana $CVNA:

In today's Daily Digest, we'll review:

2. No adjustments are needed today.

Yet I can’t overlook silver’s lack of participation.

I think of silver as gold’s rambunctious cousin — lots of fun until someone gets hurt — and someone always gets hurt!

Perhaps trading silver isn’t your cup of tea. I don’t blame you.

But silver rallies possess an infectious exuberance. Its rowdy antics and monstrous daily ranges magnetize investors as they attempt to skirt silver’s flame without burning to a crisp. 

Unfortunately, silver isn’t bringing the heat. It has yet to break out, and the silver-to-gold ratio is trending lower.

A similar scenario unfolded last spring when gold ran up against its former all-time highs:

That was the highest weekly close for the US Dollar Index since early November.

The trend has been higher for the US Dollar throughout the entire 1st quarter of 2024.

Remember, the Dollar bottomed towards the end of December in 2023.

So how much higher can the Dollar go?

The largest insider buy on today’s list comes in Form 4 filings by the chairman of the board and one director of Liberty Latin America Ltd $LILA.

The two board members made purchases of LILA shares for a combined amount of $7 million.

What we're seeing happening in Bitcoin right now is demand trying to absorb the overwhelming amount of supply that there is up at these prices.

We know from prior attempts a couple of years ago that just below 70,000, there is more selling pressure than buying pressure.

It's just math, there has been more supply than demand at these prices.

Here's what Bitcoin looks like over time:
