$QQQ dropped yesterday to its 21-day moving average, and $SPY fell to its eight-day moving average at 407.50.

I was looking at $MRK yesterday in the live trading room, and I wish I bought it as it's up this morning.

Welcome to the 2 to 100 Club.

As many of you know, something we've been working on internally is using various bottom-up tools and scans to complement our top-down approach. It's really been working for us!

One way we're doing this is by identifying 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.

It's a very sloppy market.

Either we're digesting to head higher or we're going to head lower right here.

Recessionary fears run high.

Everyone is talking about an imminent economic downturn and the next stock market crash.

You hear it on the news and in the streets – talk of the banking crisis, the Fed, inflation, and China pervades the narrative. Even my doctor assured me the world is headed for dark times during a routine appointment earlier this week.

Bearish sentiment is obviously alive and well. 

But, as a chartist, I prefer to visualize these rumblings...

The morning of Good Friday I popped into Fox Business to chat about markets with Maria Bartiromo.

The last time I was on with her, back in October, we discussed how stocks were still in the early stages of a new bull market.

Now that we've seen the S&P500 rally 15% with the Nasdaq100 up 22%, people are starting to believe.

It's been broad based appreciation in stock prices since that October morning.

Every US Sector is positive and many are up over 20%, just since October alone. The numbers are even better when you anchor back to when the new 52-week lows list peaked in June.

Historically, during bull markets you see more and more stocks going up and making new highs. In bull markets you see more sectors participating to the upside and more countries around the world breaking out.

This is exactly what's been happening for about 10 months now.

All these uptrends you're seeing in most stocks is not a new phenomenon.

Cathie Wood’s ARK Investment Management is on our list today, as it filed a 13G for Roku Inc $ROKU.

The asset manager reported a small increase of 0.06% in its ownership.

We've got the March CPI data coming out at 8:30 a.m. ET.

I have no idea which way the market will swing.

Dividend Aristocrats are easily some of the most desirable investments on Wall Street. These are the names that have increased dividends for at least 25 years, providing steadily increasing income to long-term-minded shareholders.

As you can imagine, the companies making up this prestigious list are some of the most recognizable brands in the world. Coca-Cola, Walmart, and Johnson & Johnson are just a few of the household names making the cut.

Here at All Star Charts, we like to stay ahead of the curve. That's why we're turning our attention to the future aristocrats. In an effort to seek out the next generation of the cream-of-the-crop dividend plays, we're curating a list of stocks that have raised their payouts every year for five to nine years.

We call them the Young Aristocrats, and the idea is that these are "stocks that pay you to make money." Imagine if years of consistent dividend growth and high momentum and relative strength had a baby, leaving you with the best of the emerging dividend giants that are outperforming the averages.

Slim pickings in this market.

There are trades out there.

But we aren't getting enough follow-through.

One thing I learned years ago is that you need bulls for there to be a bull market.

In other words, as bull markets progress, stocks stop falling in price, and continue to appreciate despite all the negativity.

This is the beginning of the acceptance phase. It's perfectly normal.

There's nothing like price to change sentiment.

And that's exactly what we have in the current environment.
