All Star Charts Premium Articles

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...

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...

Hi everyone — Alfonso here.

If we haven’t met yet, I’ve been part of the All Star Charts team for the past four years, working alongside JC Parets and Steve Strazza.

My focus is U.S. and international equities, where I contribute daily notes and reports to help our clients stay on top of the most important trends.

One of the things I’m most passionate about is insider activity — tracking what the smart money is doing. 

I run our Hot Corner Insider, where we monitor key filings like Form 4s, 13Ds, 13Gs, and even political trades.

Every morning, we spotlight the most notable insider buys from the day before.

“I’m gobbling up COIN calls.”

It’s what I told Breakout Multiplier members I was doing during last week’s strategy session.

Today, Coinbase stock rallied 16% after Congress passed the Genius Act, providing regulatory clarity for stablecoins. 

The company also announced the launch of a stablecoin payments stack for e-commerce platforms. The news tanked blue-chip payment names, Visa and Mastercard.

And that’s just the disruptive nature of this business. 

I think Coinbase is one of the most exciting long-term growth stories out there. 

They keep doing all the right things. And now that they finally have a clear and supportive regulatory backdrop, they can execute freely. 

But that’s why I own the common stock… 

The short-dated calls I’ve been pounding the table about have nothing to...

The Singapore Dollar is roaring higher. 

After more than a decade of basing, the SGD/USD is finally punching through a key breakout level—the 61.8% retracement of its 2011–2020 decline.

This isn’t just another FX pair catching a bid. Singapore is one of the most critical currencies in global trade. The city-state controls the Strait of Malacca—a vital artery for global shipping. 

When the Singapore Dollar is strong, it's usually saying something about global trade flows, risk appetite, and Asia's relative strength on a global stage.

Singapore, plainly put, is the financial hub of Southeast Asia.

So it makes sense to see it break out as we continue to see rotation into EM, and Asia in particular– as well as weakness in the US Dollar.

Zooming out, this is a textbook rounding bottom. The long base. The range-bound price action. The upside resolution. This is classic trend reversal stuff.

And it’s not just the currency flashing a regime change.

Here are Singaporean equities overlaid with SGD:

Welcome to The 2 to 100 Club.

In this scan, we look to identify the strongest growth stocks as they climb the market-cap ladder from small- to mid- to large- and, ultimately, to mega cap status (over $200B).

Once they graduate from small-cap to mid-cap status (over $2B), they come on our radar. Likewise, when they surpass the roughly $30B mark, they roll off our list.

But the scan doesn't just end there.

We only want to look at the strongest growth industries in the market, as that is typically where these potential 50-baggers come from.

Some of the best performers in recent decades – stocks like Priceline, Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, and myriad others – would have been on this list at some point during their journey to becoming the market behemoths they are today.

When you look at the stocks in our table, you'll notice we're only focused on Technology and Growth industry groups such as Software, Semiconductors, Online...

Last night, JC jumped on the mic for the ASC Premium mid-month conference call — one of the two big ones he hosts each month.

He walked us through over 150 charts, diving into everything from sentiment and sector rotation to risk appetite. Classic top-down work, with plenty of actionable insights along the way.

Here are some of the key takeaways:

Sentiment is still a mess. The headlines are loud, dramatic, and overwhelmingly bearish. 

Journalists dressed up as economists are out there warning that this won’t end well.

Just take a look at some of the recent The Economist covers.

We’ve seen this movie before. There’s always a reason to sell,...

If there’s one area of the market that still hasn’t woken up like it should, it’s small-caps.

Nobody wants them right now. The hate is real.

Bearish sentiment is building fast, and short interest in the Russell 2000 $IWM is at 18-month highs.

Investors are pressing their bets, leaning hard against these stocks. But when the crowd gets this aggressive, the unwind is rarely quiet.

Small-caps matter. They’re a real proxy for market breadth — covering everything from regional banks and biotechs to industrials and other under-the-radar names. And when they move, it usually means something bigger is brewing.

Look at the Russell 2000 vs. Russell 1000 ratio sitting right on long-term support.

If small-caps are about to enter a fresh period of outperformance, this would be a logical place for it to start.

Notice how every major bull run this century has seen small-caps leading — at least in the short term.

When investing in the stock market, we always want to approach it as "a market of stocks."

Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks showing leadership and trending higher.

We may have to look harder to identify them depending on current market conditions. But there are always stocks that are going up.

The same can be said for weak stocks. Regardless of the environment, there are always stocks that are going down, too. 

We already have multiple scans focusing on stocks making all-time highs, such as Hall of Famers, Minor Leaguers, and the 2 to 100 Club.

We filter these universes for stocks that are exhibiting the best momentum and relative strength characteristics. 

Clearly, we spend a lot of time identifying and writing about leading stocks every week, via...

We’ve been waiting patiently for a leadership handoff in the metals market. 

It’s happening now.

Platinum and Palladium, the long-forgotten cousins of the precious metals complex, are waking up.

Just look at the charts.

I was joking with Patrick earlier, and I told him I buy every ticker he texts me these days. 

“Buy first. Ask questions later.” 

But I was just alluding to the fact that it seems like every bullish chart pattern is working out here. 

I talk to my friends about what I’m seeing and trading throughout the day, and many of us have been on the speculative growth train. 

It’s insane how well these junky stocks are working. And it’s a longer list of them every day. 

I know almost for a fact that a good deal of these are probably zeros over the long run. That doesn’t matter. 

What matters is that they are working now. 

It’s the kind of market to take shots on the crazy stuff. And we have been doing it more and more because we keep being rewarded.  

It’s...
