Have you heard about the rally in the bond market?

After a severe multi-year drawdown, bonds have carved out a massive basing pattern and are putting the finishing touches on a primary trend reversal.

More importantly, interest rate-sensitive stocks are following suit and rallying higher as rates come down.

The sector with the highest correlation to bonds, Real Estate, is also putting the finishing touches on a bearish-to-bullish reversal.

With the market under pressure in recent weeks, Real Estate's relative strength and resilience stands out in a big way.

This once left-for-dead group of stocks is now the sector leader over the trailing month and quarter.

The only responsible thing for us to do is dive beneath the surface and find the strongest individual names to use as vehicles to play this trend.

Before we do that, let's set the stage.

Here is a look at those multi-year bases in bonds and real estate. Notice how they look the same:

If these...

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.

I love it when a group of people dislike a stock for reasons that have nothing to do with the stock itself.

In some cases it's because they don't like the CEO, or they don't like the politics of the players involved, or they think the stock is some kind of fraud.

In the case of Palantir, you're getting all 3 of these.

We love it when a stock hitting new 52-week highs makes people sad.

That built-in short-squeeze scenario is just added fuel to the fire to send stocks much higher, much faster.

Here is PLTR hitting new multi-year highs this week:

I was in the city this week hanging out with my pals Josh Brown, Michael Batnick and Joe Fahmy.

For some perspective, 10 years ago in March of 2014, the 4 of us went out one night to support some other friends of ours at a charity event. I met my future wife that night. 

These 3 guys mean a lot to me. But don't let my love for them fool you. When they say something dumb, I'm going to call them out on it!

Stocks aren’t the only risk assets falling this week.

Rebar, Corn, and Cotton are posting multi-year lows. Dr.Copper is slipping below four bucks. And our short cattle trades are working.  

But as most commodities slide, one area (aside from precious metals) is finding its feet.

Notice the CRB Index is carving out a two-year base while our equal-weight index hits its lowest level since early 2021:

The disparity between the two indexes comes down to their construction. 

We weigh 33 commodities equally for our index, so rebar futures carry the same weight as crude oil. 

On the other hand, crude comprises almost a quarter of the CRB Index.

These stark contrasts reveal two pertinent themes: broadening weakness among commodities and emerging relative strength from energy.

Our index captures the failed breakouts and fresh breakdowns in grains, livestock, and base and industrial metals.

Perhaps Dr.Copper had it right all along.

Our Hall of Famers list is composed of the 150 largest US-based stocks.

These stocks range from 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 ServiceNow, Palantir, and MercadoLibre.

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. Click here to check it out.

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:

We filter out any laggards that are down -5% or more relative to the S&P 500 over the trailing month.

Then, we sort the...

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 this one, 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...

It's fashionable in certain circles to talk about having a Canadian escape plan if shit gets too weird here in the United States.

I'm not one of those. Though I love Canada, having grown up across the border in Buffalo, NY.

There were many times in my younger days, while spending a day across the border, where I'd find myself short on cash and I'd have to hit an ATM to get some loonies! And most often, those ATMs were run by CIBC.

So maybe I should attempt to earn back some of those ATM fees (plus interest!).

In today’s Daily Digest, we’ll review the following:

1. New position in XRT.
2. No adjustments are needed today.
3. No exits since the last report.
4. Current status of open campaigns.

Let’s dig in!

Bitcoin's back above all that broken support with a vengeance.

And what better time to do it when everyone's panicking and the futures market has been absolutely decimated.

As we walked through in this week's video, a great deal of the longs in the derivative markets have completely thrown in the towel.

They've given up, and they don't want anything to do with crypto anymore.

Now, the market is up and recovering rather nicely.

Seems like a hell of a bear trap to me...

Here's this week's crypto roundup. It's an opportunity for us to take a step back, set aside the distractions, and delve into the key charts shaping the crypto complex.
