Trend Signal Now: Top Down Trade of the Week

Saturday, December 20, 2025

Welcome to The Strazza Letter, a free note with market insights from me, All Star Charts Chief Market Strategist Steve Strazza.

Welcome back for another Top Down Trade of the Week.

This is a classic leadership scan.

We start with the best sectors, then drill into the subgroups. We pick one, and then take a look at the top stocks in it.

Today's standout is Financials, which climbed one spot to break into the top three of our sector rankings.

Financials are among the most critically important sectors in the stock market. Price action continues to look constructive, particularly among large-cap names.

This group acts as a key barometer of market health. When Financials are doing well, it typically reflects that risk-on behavior remains firmly in place.

Here's a look at our overall industry rankings, which show Banks stocks pushing into the top 20.

Banking stocks have been among the strongest performers globally this year.

From U.S., to European, and even Japanese and Canadian banks, they all continue to lead the sector higher with no signs of slowing down.

Here are the Top 10 names in the Banks subsector, ranked by relative strength.

Our team at ASC runs top-down scans like this every day. If you want full access to all our research and trade ideas, JOIN ASC PREMIUM TODAY, RISK-FREE.
