We've seen a big gap up in the futures this morning, and we're right at resistance at $SPX 3,800. The next level above is 3,804 to 3,811.

$SPY resistance is at 379.60. Support is at 376.35, then 374.20.

The only way anyone gets paid around here is to sell things at higher prices than where we buy them.

And not necessarily in that order.

Do you have a better way?

I've been doing this for 20 years and I have never seen any other way to profit.

You might enjoy pretending to know "why" a stock or group of stocks may be moving. But the market doesn't pay you to pretend to know why.

The market only pays us when we sell things at higher prices than where we buy them.

And this is all so funny to me, because I constantly see so many people focusing all their attention on everything BUT price.

That never made any sense to me.

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 out the International Hall of Famers.

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:

With slow but steady improvement in breadth over the past few weeks, we have more and more stocks rising to the top of our scans and making new highs.

Due to continued weakness from the largest stocks, the indexes are masking a lot of this internal strength. But that's OK; we don't have to trade the indexes or any of those issues!

We're finally re-entering an environment where we have plenty of options on the long side.

Here are some new favorites from our Inside Scoop universe...

We saw a lot of movement in the indices today.

The $SPX hit resistance near the 50-day moving average around 3,800 and reversed lower but then rallied into the close. 

The most significant insider transaction on today's list comes in a 13D from Carl Icahn.

Icahn reported a new position in the mid-cap packaging and container stock, Crown Holdings $CCK.

We have big data out at 8:30 a.m. ET this morning.

As I write, the futures are up. Let's hope they stay that way.

The market did bounce from the lows at $SPX 3,700, but it was lackluster.

In order for this market to head back up hill, the SPX would have to get above 3,750 and hold it for a move to 3,775.

Someone years back decided to convince people who are bad at math that the Nasdaq is a good representation of the stock market.

With every day passes, particularly in 2022, the market continues to prove how silly that whole thing is.

Whatever you need to do to remember it, do not EVER forget:

The NASDAQ is NOT the stock market.

This is that time again where we try to see through the fog of short-term moves and identify the long-term structure of the market. Every month, this process helps have a clear vision going into the new month. So let's dive in and look at some of these charts!

The largest insider transaction on today's list is a Form 4 filing by the chairman and CEO of American Assets Trust $AAT, Ernest Rady.

Rady reported the purchase of $1.3 million.
