Here's your chart of the day.

How can it not be?

It's the answer to the question: "What's it going to take for Bitcoin and Crypto to start doing well again?"

You see this inverse correlation?

It's fair to say I used to be a huge nerd.

In high school, I wasn't into sports, drinking, or other normal teenage shenanigans.

As strange as it may seem, I was super passionate about technical analysis. I would use my English periods and lunch times learning fixated on what these charts meant, reading countless blogs, and spending hours learning what technical analysis was on Investopedia.

It's hilarious looking back on it now, but I vividly remember my 16th birthday. I convinced my Dad to buy me a flight to Auckland, so I could go to an investing seminar held by a well-known Kiwi entrepreneur, Jamie Beaton.

What teenager wants tickets for an investing seminar for their 16th birthday?

One story you'll hear often from technicians is that technical analysis opened up finance to them in an intuitive way. No longer were they basing their decisions on arbitrary discounted cash flow models or unreliable accounting figures.

Instead, they were following the only driver that moves markets -- money flow.

As I've grown over the years, I've come to a similar conclusion.

The president and CEO of Heritage-Crystal Clean $HCCI reported a purchase of 150,000 shares, roughly equivalent to $4,000,000 worth of stock.

The only 13D on our list today was filed by Inclusive Capital Partners LP.

We debuted a new scan recently which goes by the name- All Star Momentum.

All Star Momentum is a brand new scan that guides us towards the very best stocks in the market. We have incorporated our stock universe of Nifty 500 as the base this time around. Among the 500 stocks that we follow, this scan will pump out names that are most likely to outperform the market.

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 multiple reports.

Now, we're also highlighting lagging stocks on a recurring basis.

Welcome to the Short Report.

Key Takeaway: In recent weeks, the bulls have made their presence known after hiding in the shadows for most of the year. But as they inch their way forward, they will need assurance from the market that they’re moving in the right direction. So far, any signs of positive feedback have been lacking. New lows remain greater than new highs (for 35 weeks and counting). And there is an absence of strength among global markets, although they have stopped going down. The market needs to turn it up in regards to price and participation if the bulls are to prove more than a bunch of wallflowers.

Sentiment Report Chart of the Week: How Do We Keep The Bulls On Dance Floor?

If we are going to have a party, we need to keep bulls on the dance floor. One way to do that is through improved price action. We know that it takes bulls to have a bull market, but it also takes a bull market to keep the bulls involved. When we look across various assets, we keep coming back to key levels...

There's no denying the fact that it's been a rough time being a crypto investor lately.

From our work, crypto market participants are closely approaching their maximum pain thresholds.

In real terms, losses realized on-chain reached their highest values going back to 2011. In nominal terms, Bitcoin holders realized the most amount of losses in USD terms in crypto's entire history.

We've gone from 95% of all market participants holding unrealized profits to a measly 50% in the space of a few short quarters.

This is, by most measures, one of the most severe bear markets by loss realization, capital leaving the ecosystem, and contagion among even the largest and most sophisticated of players.

Despite this destruction of wealth, it's important to be grateful for our losses.
