Today, I joined my friend Patrick on Chart Request Live, discussing all the ticker symbols from the chat.

Click here to watch the replay.

One major topic we discussed at the end of the show was crypto and some equity vehicles to gain exposure to it.

One that stood out was MicroStrategy $MSTR, which continues to show impressive relative strength.

As you can see, MSTR is consolidating above its prior cycle peak as it flirts with new all-time highs.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues...

Chinese equities are surging like never before in history.

The iShares China Large-Cap ETF $FXI rallied over 18%, marking its best week ever.

We call this a "momentum thrust". Such extreme readings often precede rallies and tend to occur at the beginning of new bull cycles.

Here's the FXI chart with the 1-week rate of change in the lower pane:

There is a growing list of opportunities, as well as plenty of vehicles and various methods we can use to gain exposure and add leverage to this theme.

It has been a great week in Chicago for the Portfolio Accelerator so far!

The entire All Star Charts team and friends are gathered, analyzing charts, having insightful discussions, identifying trade opportunities and delving into trading psychology.

A main theme from this morning's discussion was the importance of setting aside our home-country bias.

One country in particular that stands out is the MSCI Argentina ETF $ARGT.

Let’s take a look at the chart:...

Gold has been getting a lot of attention lately as it presses against its highest levels in history.

This is an exciting time to be a gold enthusiast.

Just look at what the price is doing.

The bottom line here is that it’s...
