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.

We get to talk to a lot of traders and investors every single day. I like to listen.

In the first chart, we have what seems to be the consensus view. Investors fear that we're going to complete this top in the S&P500 sending prices down even lower.

Do you agree? We break 4100 and down we go?

Or could it be like the second chart, and all this support holds?

A few weeks ago, we pointed out widening crack spreads and what they meant for oil refining stocks. You can read more here, as we explain how wider crack spreads support higher prices for this particular area of the market.

Three weeks later, crack spreads have widened to their highest level in more than a decade.

This post is not about crack spreads, though. It’s about energy and how everything in the space is working these days. 

Bullish rotation continues to be the theme for energy.

This week, gasoline was the standout, booking a 10% gain and breaking out of a massive base to new all-time highs.

Let’s take a look at the breakout in gasoline futures and discuss what it means for crude oil.

Here’s a chart of gasoline futures:

Gasoline futures have consolidated just below a key extension level...

Our weight of the evidence dashboard argues for caution, as risk outweighs opportunity. This is echoed by our Risk Off - Risk On indicators, which never showed a decisive move toward Risk On assets as stocks moved off their lows in March. Assessing the situation through the lens of various intra- and inter-market relationships, our range-o-meter shows a move toward Risk Off leadership over the past month. Risk Off assets are gaining strength, Risk On assets are stumbling. Where things go from here remains to be seen. None of us can predict the future. But we can identify whether we are in a higher risk or lower risk environment and adjust our portfolios accordingly. One of the best things I heard at last week’s CMT symposium came from Frank Teixeira: “The market gives you a lot of information if you are willing to listen for it.”

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 10, 2021, high, which is when new 52-week highs peaked for...

The first trade in our Paid-to-Play portfolio is:

In the All Star Charts recent Monthly Charts Strategy Session, JC highlighted a bunch of stocks that have held levels that feel significant.

And since we've seen a lot of damage to bullish charts in recent weeks, the best bets on the board right now appear in stocks that have held up better than the rest.

One mining stock that held up well after hot money ran for the exits is Newmont Corporation $NEM.

This is the video recording of our May 6, 2022, All Star Charts Crypto Weekly Strategy Session.

The largest insider transaction on today's list comes to us in a Form 4 filing by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway $BRK.A.

Buffett continues to grow his position in Occidental Petroleum $OXY. He just revealed an additional purchase that brings his total ownership to 226 million shares, representing a 12.15% interest.

While most uptrends have come under pressure in 2022, the US dollar has remained as strong as any.

This dollar strength, particularly at the index level, is nothing new. We've been discussing it.

It's been taking place all year, driven by the major pairs such as the euro, the yen, and the pound.

However, something new is the burgeoning strength beneath the surface, even outside of the big developed market currencies. We've been seeing dollar internals improve drastically in recent weeks.

And now we're seeing momentum accelerate for the US Dollar Index $DXY. Today, DXY is on track for its largest single-day gain since the pandemic crash more than two years ago.

All of the evidence suggests this dollar strength is the real deal.

Let's talk about what it means and how we want to position for it.

Here's the US Dollar Index ripping to its highest level in almost 20 years:
