Big Bases in Emerging Asia

May 17, 2025

We’re back from New Orleans, so I’m doing a lot of catching up this weekend.

When I was plowing through charts yesterday, I realized two appeal to me a lot more than the rest right now.

One of the things I always do at Portfolio Accelerator is share my best ideas for the coming months and quarters.

I’ll share some tactical opportunities and discuss the themes and areas of the market I’m interested in trading.

But I’ll also zoom out and talk about some of the fresh new uptrends I’m buying with a longer timeframe in mind.

I’ve been an Asia bull for some time now. China has already been the best idea at past conferences. BABA, BIDU, and TCEHY are currently conviction longs for this theme. 

Southeast Asia’s online retail giant, Sea Ltd $SE is another one I shared with our clients at one of last year’s events. It’s been a top international stock. It’s one of my largest long-term holdings...

(Commodities Weekly) Holding the Line 🛡️

May 17, 2025

The S&P GSCI Commodity Index just bounced from a critical level… again.

You don’t need to be a technician to see the importance of 500 on this chart. 

It was the top in 2018. It was the ceiling again in 2021. 

Since then, it’s become the most important shelf of support in the entire commodity complex.

Now, after retesting this level multiple times in the last two years, we’re once again sitting on the edge.

Polarity is like magic 🔮 

Support and resistance are not random. 

This 500-level has acted as a magnet for prices in recent years. 

If this shelf gives way, it opens the door to a much deeper reset in the commodities market.

However, for now, the level is holding steady.

Let’s talk about what this index is made of...

The S&P GSCI is primarily focused on one thing above all else: Energy.

  • Energy makes up 57.4% of the index in 2025, led by:

Down with the Dollar

May 16, 2025

The US Dollar Index $DXY continues to sit near the top of our macro checklist.

It’s been one of the more important tells of the cycle, not just for currencies—but for equities, commodities, and global risk assets.

Traditionally, the dollar moves opposite to US stocks. But as technicians, we know better than to marry intermarket correlations. These relationships ebb and flow, strengthen, weaken, invert, and sometimes go completely quiet. That’s normal.

Late last year, a big shift took place as stocks began to...

🔎 Something's Quietly Brewing in Healthcare

May 16, 2025
📊 Daily ETF Overview

 

The beauty of these rankings is their ability to pinpoint what’s moving and showing strength—giving us a chance to capitalize on the most profitable opportunities, right now.

But sometimes, the best setups take years to develop. Investors with a longer-term perspective often see their patience rewarded.

A prime example? Certain groups within healthcare, which have delivered impressive returns over time. The iShares U.S. Healthcare Providers ETF ($IHF) is a standout, with nearly +1,000% gains since the GFC lows.

However, in the past four years, it’s been flat.

 

 

While this space has been digesting those astronomical gains, the longer-term outlook looks stronger than ever.

Over the same period, while the broader market has surged by nearly +50%, $IHF has been dormant. But that could be about to change.

If $IHF breaks to new all-time highs, it would signal that this space is ready for the next leg higher—and investors could be positioned for substantial upside.

This could be the perfect moment to rediscover what’s been quietly brewing in healthcare.

Below is my weekly video for members of Macke's Retail Roundup.

If a few weeks ago we had 'The Week From Hell" as I called it, then this week was "The Best Week Ever". 

My Retail Roundup Portfolio ripping right now thanks to the changing market sentiment. And our newest position just had its second-best week as a public company.

[Options Premium] #FAAFO

May 16, 2025

I talk all the time about how the options market makers are not stupid. Options are priced the way they are, when they are, because options market makers know what they are doing. Usually.

But once in a blue moon, they can get caught sleeping. 

I think I may have found one such opportunity and I want to pounce on it today.

The Hall of Famers (05-16-2025)

May 16, 2025

From the desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

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. 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:

Retail’s Red Flag 🩸

May 16, 2025

Walmart $WMT just delivered mixed results, and the market punished the stock.

Shares slipped -0.5% on the day, marking the second consecutive negative earnings reaction for the world’s largest retailer.

It’s not that the numbers were terrible. They weren’t. 

But the guidance was a huge disappointment. 

With revenue growth flattening and consumer trends appearing somewhat fragile, investors are clearly adopting a more cautious stance.

Additionally, the stock is exhibiting signs of exhaustion. It has carved out a potential multi-month distribution pattern.

Walmart’s still a bellwether for the U.S. consumer. 

However, if this stock starts to break down, it might be indicating more about the market than just the company.

So what else did we learn from yesterday's earnings reactions? Let's dive into the details.

Here are the latest earnings reports from the S&P 500 👇

Greenoaks Capital Reports a $37.5 Million $CPNG Buy

May 16, 2025

Every day, we sift through the filings to spot where the real conviction lies — cutting through the noise to highlight the most meaningful insider moves.

Here's what stood out today:

📌 Coupang $CPNG – Greenoaks Capital Partners bought $37.50 million in the ”Amazon of South Korea.”

It’s one of the biggest insider buys we’ve seen all year. Following the purchase, the firm now holds 55.2 million shares, representing about 3.66% of Coupang’s outstanding float among institutional holders.

Steve just wrote about CPNG this weekend. Check it out here.

Junior Hall of Famers (05-15-2025)

May 15, 2025

From the Desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

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...

🔎 How Much Beta Will You Embrace?

May 15, 2025
📊 Daily ETF Overview 

Off the back of last week’s crypto rally, the Crypto Industry Innovators ETF ($ETF) closed at new highs.

As markets continue their recovery, crypto remains a critical theme to watch. We’re treating Bitcoin ($IBIT) like any of the Magnificent 7 stocks, and its performance is underscoring that it’s a legitimate vehicle for a bullish tech thesis.

But it doesn’t stop with Bitcoin. A diversified basket of crypto stocks offers even more beta—more leverage to this growing trend.

 

 

This aligns perfectly with the broader speculative growth theme, where high-beta plays like these are likely to be rewarded if risk appetite returns in any meaningful way.

If the market continues its recovery, crypto stocks stand to benefit from both the tech tailwinds and the speculative growth rebound.

The question isn’t whether to consider crypto—it’s how much beta you’re ready to embrace if risk appetite comes back to life.
