Historically, new 52-week lows are not a characteristic of an uptrend. These are things we see when the asset in question is under pressure. With the Dollar Index continuing to sell-off, what are some of the broader implications?

What will this mean for the relentless uptrend in precious metals? What will it mean for Emerging Markets stocks?

First, here's the chart of the US Dollar Index making new 52-week lows yesterday:

We haven't taken a look at the Marijuana sector in a while, so today I'm going to review where the sector stands on an absolute and relative basis...and which stocks we're buying (if any).

Normally I'd have a pun or two here, but I've decided to take the high road and focus solely on the charts this time.

First, let's start at the index level with the Alternative Harvest ETF (MJ). prices gapped below our price objective at 12.60 earlier in the year, consolidated for two months, and then gapped back above it...forming an "island reversal" bottom on the weekly chart.

Since then, prices have successfully retested support multiple times, so it would appear the bias is higher towards 22 as long as we're above 12.60.

On this week's show, I walk Howard through how to order my favorite pizza online and we discuss the price action in $TSLA and what that means for both the stock and the company.

Welcome to our latest edition of "Under The Hood." Read more about it here.

In this column, we analyze the most popular Robinhood stocks over the trailing week and find opportunities to either join in and ride these momentum names higher, or fade the crowd and bet against them.

This week we have a handful of trade ideas on the long side in a number of names that continue to exhibit impressive relative strength.

Let's dive into it. Here is this week's list of most popular stocks, measured by net increases in Robinhood accounts that hold shares.

This post is a follow-up to yesterday's "How We're Approaching New Long Setups" and our Q2 Playbook, so we'd highly recommend reading those two pieces first if you haven't already.

In this post we're going to dive into the stocks we want to be buying. 

Sometimes, the generous idea guys at All Star Charts just happen across something that immediately catches their eye and they post it up quick on twitter.

Today Steve Strazza offered this up on Virtu Financial $VIRT:

This is Virtu Financial $VIRT, a HFT which benefits from the wider bid/ask spreads and higher volumes that accompany periods of heightened volatility... price is attempting to break out above its YTD highs ~26 pic.twitter.com/1ZmRO29QwS

That base, and the low volatility in options immediately caught my attention too. These are my favorite setups: Blue skies up above coupled with low vol.

So I'm keeping it simple and swinging for the fences.

Despite new recovery highs in the US and other international markets, India has been struggling in the short-term to maintain its upward momentum.

In this post, we're outlining some things that are important for Equities in the short-term and how we're approaching stocks on the long side.

Rotation is the lifeblood of any bull market, so what better way to use our "Chart of The Week" than highlighting the rotation into cyclical sectors that's currently taking place.

Who knew I'd be turning to China for an online education?

Well, that's just what I endeavor to accomplish with a trade I'm working to enter today.

This week on Happy Hour w/ Traders, I chat with 2 of the best in the business: Brian Shannon and Joe Fahmy. We've all been friends for a decade and I still learn from both of them every single time we talk.

The way I see it, I'm having these conversations anyway, so may as well hit record so you guys can learn from them the same way that I do.

Check it out!
