Brief Overview

Welcome back to this week’s Stocks to Watch!

What an insane week to kick off April with tariff news causing panic selling across the markets. While we wait for markets to find the capitulation bottom there are plenty of names going on sale, and we love a good stock sale! With the markets in such a volatile state, we’ll be on the lookout for the best setups in the hysteria and bring them to the forefront for our members. Events like this don’t happen often and you won’t want to miss a single alert!

Looking back at last week…

Monday
Investors were on alert to start the week as markets braced for President Trump’s much-anticipated “Liberation Day” tariff announcement. With uncertainty looming, the S&P and Nasdaq closed out their worst month since late 2022, driven by recession concerns and growing trade tensions.

Tuesday
Markets stayed relatively flat as investors waited for more details on the coming tariffs. Speculation ran high, especially around the scope of duties on key imports like vehicles and electronics. Traders stayed on the sidelines, not wanting to get caught off guard.

Wednesday
President Trump unveiled broad new tariffs: a 10% baseline on all imports, plus targeted hikes—34% on goods from China, 20% on the EU, and 25% on imported vehicles and parts. The administration called it a necessary move to rebalance trade, but markets quickly priced in the risks of retaliation.

Thursday
Stocks took a sharp hit after the tariff announcement. The S&P 500 fell 4.9%, erasing $2.5 trillion in value, while the Nasdaq dropped 5.9%—its worst day in years. Tech and industrials led the losses, with investors growing more concerned about supply chain disruptions and weakening global demand.

Friday
China retaliated with tariffs of its own, triggering another wave of selling. The Dow plunged over 2,200 points, the S&P slid 6%, and the Nasdaq officially entered bear market territory. Escalating trade conflict is fueling fears of a deeper economic slowdown.

Looking ahead…
This was one of the most volatile weeks for markets in recent memory. The sweeping tariffs and swift retaliation have shaken investor confidence, and concerns about global growth are rising. With policy uncertainty now front and center, markets could remain choppy as the situation develops.

Market Brief

S&P 500 ETF (Ticker: SPY) – Daily Chart

Opened last week at: $549.83
Hit a weekly high of: $570.79 (after hours) on Wednesday 4/2
Hit the low of the week of: $502.21 (after hours) on Friday 4/4
Closed the week at: $505.28

Last Week…
Insane volatility last week as SPY opened the week with a gap down to the $550 level before recovering to the $567.50 area before the “Liberation Day” announcement. SPY was crushed by the tariff news falling to a low of $502.21 on Friday and closing the week just over $505. It’s important to remember that markets will be incredibly volatile and the landscape could change in either direction as tariff news is released. Stay frosty!

Bullish Perspective
Bulls will want to see the last of the weak hands shake out to start buying the blood. If the $500 psych level turns out to be the bottom bulls will want to see SPY reclaim $525 for possible confirmation of a sturdy bounce. If $525 reclaims and holds look for possible targets at $537 – 547 – 550 and beyond if SPY catches momentum and buyers return.

Bearish Perspective
Bears would like to see tariff news continue to play into market fear. Look for the $500 psych level to break to the downside for a move to test deeper support at $494.50. If things get really bad, we could see big slips to targets at $478.50 – $466.50 – 458.80.

Weekly Stocks to Watch

As always, we’ll be heavily focused on our news feeds & scanners for prime opportunities throughout the week.

Hims & Hers Health Inc. (Ticker: HIMS)

Interesting if $25 demand level holds for potential moves back up towards $30 – 33.5 near term bounce targets. Keep this simple, if $25 is not holding, would expect to see moves into $23.97 and under that, would think HIMS price action would bring this to the lower $20s, continuing the downtrend. Bears are in control right now, but it’s yet to be seen how $25 reacts.

Celsius Holdings Inc. (Ticker: CELH)

Green last week, despite the market wide selling. Look for potential continuation based off that strength. Look for short term support $35 – 34 range to hold. Look for a breakout over $37.5 to trigger move into $40 – 42. Theres a high short interest here so if price is hitting these targets, theres potential for a squeeze into $45 volume profile as shorts cover. If support of $34 fails to hold CELH weakness could retreat the ticker towards $30 and kill any short term momentum.

Rocket Companies Inc. (Ticker: RKT)

Rocketed last week on strong volume while the market sold off. Noticed RKT hit the Trading Room Scanners nearly every day this past week as price action climbed from lows of $11.60 to a weekly high of $15.77. Maybe we see continuation as RKT printed a very strong looking weekly candle. Must know that there is a lot of resistance at $15.9 level. A clear breakout over $16 could lead to a test to $18 – 20 – 21. Use short term support $15 – 14.25.

3M Co. (Ticker: MMM)

Clobbered last week, head and shoulders played out to the downside. However MMM is now testing previous breakout zone and is at a zone of confluence. Look for support on MMM at $125. Use this as entry zone for a strong risk:reward to target a bounce back into $130 – 135 for short term swing $140 may even hit if we see bulls step back up. If MMM slips below $124.75 would expect to see a test of $120 – 117 in a bearish continuation setting, and if the sell off is really serious, potentially deeper red moves back into $110-105. Key to see how $125 reacts within the next weeks.

Agilent Technologies Inc. (Ticker: A)

Flushed hard to support near $100. This ticker has not seen these lows since 2023 and there was strong buying pressure there then, so if theres a bounce, would look to time it around the $100 zone and target bounce into $110 – 120. However, when looking at the monthly chart, there’s a super solid set of 3 full body red candles in a row. If $100 doesn’t hold the last bit of support is at $96.8 would think it tests this. Under that would not want to hold and $90 is the next probable stop due to the strong selling pressure. Don’t fight the downtrend, but $100 zone could be a huge value zone for buying opportunities, based on price action of the chart.

Tesla Inc. (Ticker: TSLA)

Holding relatively well last week with the market chaos. This could be a great opportunity for bounce if the fear subsides and we see buyers flood back in. Key support zone is currently 220-235. Sub 240 could be a great entry opportunity for a move back to the upside targets at 250 – 260 – 270 – 275 – 285 – 290 or more if buyers really come back. If 220 fails, then a move down to test the 210/200 area is very possible in the short term, which would hopefully set up for a capitulation bounce, maybe even sub 200.

Amazon (Ticker: AMZN)

Following this name for a possible bounce play after the heavy selling it endured last week, even if it’s just a dead cat bounce type play. Which would mean eyeball upside targets at 177 – 183 – 188 – 190 – 200 or more if buyers are able to retake control. In this market, you don’t have to marry the idea, but just take advantage of the volatility and take profits when they are there. Under 165 this could be back testing 150 – 145 quickly, setting up for a capitulation play.

Apple Inc. (Ticker: AAPL)

Will be on the lookout for any China/USA tariff news as this would likely be a big mover based on any potential deals being made there. Trading well below the moving averages, this could revert to mean just on a dead cat bounce at the least. Look for 170/180s to provide support in this goliath. If buyers re-take control, look for targets at 194 – 200 – 206 – 210 – 215 – 220 or more depending on macro sentiment throughout the week(s) to come. If selling pressure is not done yet, 170 break could give way to 165 – 160 ultimately 150s where a capitulation setup could be possible.

Take-Two Interactive. (Ticker: TTWO)

Keeping an eye on TTWO as it currently sits atop the 100EMA on the daily chart ($194.50). There is the possibility of a slip to support at $192.50 but we’ll be on the lookout for a bounce in this zone. Look for targets at the $200 psych level – 208 – 213 – 216.50 and possibly ATH at 220.93 if TTWO heats up. If the 100EMA fails to hold and TTWO slides under 192.50 support we could see a breakdown to 200EMA at around $181 and beyond to $177 if selling continues.

Last Week’s Continued Watch

Ideas from last week’s Watchlist that are still relevant this week

Caesars Entertainment Inc. (Ticker: CZR) “Maybe the sell off isn’t over and if $25 falls a bleed into the lower $20s and potentially the teens. CZR did dip under $10 into the 6s in the 2022 covid crash.“
