Small-Caps Could Be Next

June 17, 2025

If there’s one area of the market that still hasn’t woken up like it should, it’s small-caps.

Nobody wants them right now. The hate is real.

Bearish sentiment is building fast, and short interest in the Russell 2000 $IWM is at 18-month highs.

Investors are pressing their bets, leaning hard against these stocks. But when the crowd gets this aggressive, the unwind is rarely quiet.

Small-caps matter. They’re a real proxy for market breadth — covering everything from regional banks and biotechs to industrials and other under-the-radar names. And when they move, it usually means something bigger is brewing.

Look at the Russell 2000 vs. Russell 1000 ratio sitting right on long-term support.

 

If small-caps are about to enter a fresh period of outperformance, this would be a logical place for it to start.

Notice how every major bull run this century has seen small-caps leading — at least in the short term.

The Short Report (06-17-2025)

June 17, 2025

From the Desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza and Ricardo Sarraf @nullcharts

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...

🚨 Report: The Bitcoin Hitchhikers

June 17, 2025

Did you catch what happened with SRM Entertainment $SRM yesterday?

This little-known toy company just secured a $100 million investment from a private investor — and they’re using the funds to buy Tron $TRX, the cryptocurrency, effectively turning the company into a crypto treasury vehicle.

As part of the shift, they’re renaming the company to “Tron Inc.”, bringing on Tron founder Justin Sun as an advisor, and working with Dominari Securities, a brokerage firm reportedly linked to Eric Trump.

In other words, Tron is going public, using SRM as a backdoor listing, and positioning itself as a kind of “MicroStrategy 2.0”, but for TRX instead of Bitcoin.

And the market noticed.

SRM stock exploded over +530% on the day.

This is part of a growing trend:

  • Struggling small-cap companies pivoting to crypto in a last-ditch attempt to revive shareholder value.
  • Turning their corporate treasuries into speculative crypto bets.
  • Tapping into the retail FOMO around digital assets.

Is this sustainable?

Almost certainly not.

Throwin' Darts at Bullish Charts

June 16, 2025

I was joking with Patrick earlier, and I told him I buy every ticker he texts me these days. 

“Buy first. Ask questions later.” 

But I was just alluding to the fact that it seems like every bullish chart pattern is working out here. 

I talk to my friends about what I’m seeing and trading throughout the day, and many of us have been on the speculative growth train. 

It’s insane how well these junky stocks are working. And it’s a longer list of them every day. 

I know almost for a fact that a good deal of these are probably zeros over the long run. That doesn’t matter. 

What matters is that they are working now

It’s the kind of market to take shots on the crazy stuff. And we have been doing it more and more because we keep being rewarded.  

It’s...

The Minor Leaguers (06-16-2025)

June 16, 2025

From the Desk of Steve Strazza @Sstrazza

Welcome to The Minor Leaguers.

We've had some great trades come out of this small-cap-focused column since we launched it back in 2020 and started rotating it with our flagship bottom-up scan, Under the Hood.

For the first year or so, we focused only on Russell 2000 stocks with a market cap between $1 and $2B.

That was fun, but we wanted to branch out a bit and allow some new stocks to find their way onto our list.

We expanded our universe to include some mid-caps.

Nowadays, to make the cut for our Minor Leaguers list, a company must have a market cap between $1 and $4B.

And it doesn't have to be a Russell component — it can be any US-listed equity. With participation expanding around the globe, we want all those ADRs in our universe.

The same price and liquidity filters are applied. Then, as always, we sort by proximity to new...

Space Stocks To The Moon

June 16, 2025

Every bull market has its squeezers — those pockets where certain stocks rip and shorts get absolutely smoked.

It’s all part of the game when traders are willing to take on risk.

Look at areas like quantum tech, new nuclear, or lately, space stocks.

These groups are prime spots where squeezes are either brewing or already in motion.

Over the past couple weeks, names in the Procure Space ETF $UFO have been catching our attention.

Here’s a cool visual we put together to break it down:

 

Names like $RKLB, $PL, $RDW, and $ASTS are standing out as leaders — showing strong relative strength and momentum as they distance themselves from the pack.

We’re seeing these show up in our Freshly Squeezed scan too — one of our favorite weekly reports.

 

This scan hunts for names with the right fuel and the right spark for explosive upside:
