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.

Here's this week's list:

Markets fluctuate to a relentless beat driven by fear, greed, and an incessant newsfeed.

Sometimes, they trend. 

But, more often than not, they churn sideways.

Unsurprisingly, “sideways” best describes most markets today.

The S&P 500, the Nasdaq 100, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have gone nowhere in three months. 

Regardless, one uptrend remains intact…

The coordinated rise in the US dollar and interest rates.

Check out the overlay chart of the 10-year US Treasury yield $TNX and the US Dollar Index $DXY with a 21-day rolling correlation in the lower pane:

US yields and the dollar have been in near-perfect harmony since the Fed began raising interest rates last year.

Sure, they briefly fell out of step. But the two found their groove in early July.

Happy New Year to those who celebrate Rosh Hashanah!

The market took a nosedive today.

And there's potential for continued weakness next week.

The markets are telling us it still wants sideways for longer.

We know this script, and we know it's been working. So we're going to keep chopping this wood until the markets tell us to get more directionally aggressive.

We had a resting GTC order filled at our profit target in the Paid-to-Play portfolio today:

The largest insider buy on today’s list comes in a Form 4 filing by Biotechnology Value Fund LP.

The hedge fund revealed a purchase of roughly $14.8 million in Olema Pharmaceuticals $OLMA.

That was a big day for the market yesterday, but it still felt slow or weak up until noon.

We have potential to see 455 on $SPY if we continue to hold 447.

We just saw a $50 Billion Tech IPO successfully issued into public markets.

Remember those?

But before we get into growth stocks, let's just put the overall market into perspective.

It was nice to get away from the screens for a few days, while we were out at Future Proof in California. But not much has changed now that I'm back home.

Here's a shot of us during my panel discussion at the Conference:

The market tracked higher most of the day, with $SPY closing that 449.17 gap I mentioned this morning.

Energy stocks and commodities remain front and center.

Our equity plays are running toward our upside objectives. Natural gas is attracting a bid. And bulls are eyeing $100 crude.

With that as our backdrop, we reviewed the energy space on yesterday’s "What the FICC?" episode.

And it appears the next leg higher for crude and its crew has commenced…

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 the price is rising. That’s good enough for us.
