These Are The TWO Stocks I'm Watching for Monday...

What's up, everyone? All right, in
today's episode, I'm going to break down
my day trading watch list for Monday
morning and the game plan for the week
ahead. As we come into the new month,
it's an opportunity to look back at what
we did in July that worked and what we
did that didn't work so well, so we can
make some adjustments for the month
ahead. Now, July did finish really well.
On Friday, we had FCUV, which squeezed
up nearly 1,000%. This was a really
impressive move and what was most
impressive is that it held its level
really well. So, if we jump on the
screen share, we can start breaking it
down. Here's FCUV and it closed
basically after hours at the highs. So,
now this is going to go right into
continuation, I would expect on Monday
morning. My only issue with it is that
the price is higher. And well, that's
not my only issue. The other issue with
it is if we look at the chart, well, we
just look at the 5-minute chart to begin
with. On the 5-minute chart, you can see
here, whoa, look at that. Look at that.
Look at some of these red candles. There
were a few really big red candles. So,
essentially what happened was it
squeezed up on Friday morning right here
and we got this fantastic initial
squeeze up to about $10 a share, which
is where I actually made the bulk of my
profit. Then it pulled back, squeezed
up, gave us one more push into the open
here, I traded that. Then it pulled back
and then rallies up here. And from that
point forward, this was very choppy,
range-bound, coming up, coming back
down. And so, each time it started to
come up, it would slam back down.
On the one hand, you would think, oh,
does that mean the company was selling
shares or does that mean short sellers
were hitting this really hard to the
short side? Maybe, but it was never able
to really roll over. So, if the insiders
or the company was selling, they weren't
selling below VWAP, they would sell as
it pulled away, but then as it came back
down, they would stop selling. So, they
weren't pushing it lower. On the other
hand, if the company was selling, often
what happens is that short sellers will
see that weakness, long traders will
give up, and it will just sort of fade
lower. So, something was holding this up
quite well, and then into after hours it
pops up, but it isn't able to pull away
over 18. So, it breaks to a new high of
day, but then it comes all the way back
down to 12. Then it comes back up again,
a new high, but it doesn't pull away.
Comes back down again.
So, kind of interesting price action. It
It couldn't quite pull away, but it also
wasn't dying either. So, now this is
going to be the stock that we're going
to watch going into Monday.
But, as I said, while it may squeeze at
4:00 a.m. on Monday morning, just
because of course, you know, traders are
going to look at this as a stock that
was holding up after hours on Friday, um
you have the issue of the price being a
little bit higher, $18,000 a share.
Sounds a little bit more difficult to
manage risk. We do have these jackknife
candles from Friday, which communicate
that, you know, something was going on
that was creating last selling. That
will probably continue. I don't see why
it wouldn't. So, jackknives plus higher
price, that can get pretty risky.
And look, the stock is up almost 1,000%.
The company may take this opportunity to
sell some shares on the open market. I'd
be surprised if they didn't. So, if you
look at BAM SEC,
we can look at the SEC filings on this,
FCUV. Um so, the last earnings statement
was from March 31st of 2026. And so,
what I often will do is I'll check these
earnings statements just to see how much
cash that cash they have on their
balance sheet. So, this showed $6
million on the balance sheet balance
sheet as of the end of March. Okay,
well, then how much of money are they
spending? If they're not spending that
much money, then that $6 million could
last a long time, right? You or me, $6
million dollars in in cash in checking
account would last for you know forever.
I mean that's a huge amount of money.
But let's see how much the company
spending. So their revenue was basically
nothing. Okay, so they're bringing in no
revenue. So what are their expenses?
Lost from operations for the first 3
months were 1.2 million. Okay, so they
had a net loss of 1.2 million. So
they're losing money, but they're not
losing like 8 10 million dollars a
quarter. So this amount of loss
um I mean based on their balance sheet
and the cash they have on hand, it
doesn't appear that they necessarily
need to raise money right away.
I mean again, if your stock's up a
thousand percent,
uh you know, you could argue what better
time to sell a few shares on the open
market. And if we look at the volume on
Friday, it traded with a hundred million
shares of volume. Even if they sold, I
mean if even if they just sold a million
shares at $10 a share at the open market
right on the market, they would they'd
raise $10 million. $10 million on the
balance sheet, right? Boom. The float
goes from 600,000 shares to 1.6 million.
You sell 2 million shares at $10 is $20
million. Now you start selling four or
five million shares. Okay, you know that
they're raising more money and maybe
they did. I mean we had a hundred
million shares of volume. So when
GameStop was doing their secondary
offerings, they would sell at the rate
of about 15% of the volume. So for every
million shares, they'd be selling
150,000 shares. So for a 10 or a 100
million share day, they would have sold
15 million shares. That's the way the
game GameStop was doing it. So now what
I'll tell you is that when that was
occurring,
you could see on the level two just this
constant selling pressure. The stock
just could not go up. And as soon as
they stopped selling, it was like, you
know, the ceiling was lifted and the
stock pulled away.
This I mean kind of had that effect a
little bit, you know, up around these
areas where every time it would come up
there, it would reject back down.
Um
you know, but on the other hand,
something was also holding it up. And in
the case of GameStop, that was probably
retail traders.
Um were there retail traders that were
confident enough to buy this, you know,
off of those dips to 12? And I I I
wouldn't typically think so, but in this
case, um
I I really don't know. So, at the end of
the day,
yes, there is a risk of an offering.
That's always a risk um with these types
of companies that they could sell shares
on the open market. Um you know, this is
a company if we look back here. So,
so go back. We'll look at their filings.
Um so, they have filed um prospectus
pricing info. They've done um offerings
in the past. They've sold I believe they
have warrants that they've um sold to
institutional investors. So, those have
various strike prices where they could
be exercised. So, you know,
this is a company that has done um you
know, offerings in the past. This was a
private placement $4 million.
Um right warrants at $3.58 per share.
You know, so I mean, these are these are
things that um
we we should be aware of. Um if we look
at some of the other stocks from the
week, um let's see. So,
we had uh now let me just look at my
metrics. So, look at my metrics here.
Boom All right. So, this is um
Uh
let's see. So, we're going to do
Let me tag IRA account. So, it's my IRA,
not the small account challenge.
Um so, IRA just for July.
Uh
$324,000.
So, on Monday, we had ED
BL. So, ED BL. ED BL. I'm just wondering
ED BL if they did uh an offering this
week. Uh I remember they um
the they definitely sold off quite a
bit. So, this was the big move, and then
look at how it came back down. So, you
could see why short sellers probably did
quite well on that. Came all the way
back down. So, did ED BL do an offering?
That was what I was curious about. Um
so,
No, I actually don't see the offering.
They had the news with Walmart, but
um that didn't end up um
resulting in an offering. So, then on
Wednesday we had
Oh, well, we had NUE. I think that was
actually on Thursday, but NUE, this one
did announce an offering. So, they did a
$3.4 million offering. And look, the
stock made this rally, and then the next
day they announced the offering, comes
all the way down. But, you know, the
thing with these offerings is that often
um while the stock is moving up, they're
selling. And so, the news comes out
later, but the effect uh
on the market in a way was here, and
then more people are bearish as the news
comes out that they have impacted on
this offering. So, this was N
U um
WE, and then we had NCRA during the
week. This one had popped up and then
sold off. Can't remember if they did an
offering.
And then let's see, what did we have on
So, that was N U Oh, then we had uh PN,
right? This one had popped up, held up
pretty well. Jersey Mike's, that IPO.
Um I traded that. Wasn't super super
exciting.
Uploaded that for members for the live
archives. INLF. Let's see, did INLF Some
of these uh foreign-listed securities
also did uh offerings, which was
interesting. Um
I don't remember if this was one of
them, but uh all of that is to say that
this is a risk that you have these
stocks that rally up, but the company
sells shares on the open market, and
then pushes the price back down.
Uh and yet FCUV uh for right now is
still holding up pretty well. DFNS.
Well, holy smokes. DFNS over the course
of 4 days went from about $4 a share to
100 bucks. Now it's come back down. All
right, so now the price is sort of
softening, but
you know, these have been really big
moves. So I don't want to underestimate
that FCEV might have more in it.
But at the same time my sweet spot is
really between this kind of 5 and $10
range. So if we look at my metrics here
for the month of July, let's see
detailed
um
so price and volume.
So I mean between 2 and 5 and between 5
and 10. Even between 10 and 15 or 10 and
20, I really didn't do as well. So that
really says something about the sweet
spot right now. Now that's just right
now. If we look at um year to date, year
to date you will see a bit more um you
know, in the 10 to 20 range and you
know, a little bit even up in that area.
Uh sitting at about 1.8 uh million
dollars year to date. And if I just pull
up my um metrics here, I'll just go back
to the bottom of the um website. You can
always look at my verified earning
statements. Um now one of the things
you'll see here for 2026
is that I began the year with $96,000 in
my account. So 96,000 all the way up to
half a million, that was in January. And
then January from half a million up to
600,000 and then 600,000 up to 700,000,
700 up to 800 up to 900, 900 up to a
million, a million up to 1.5, 1.6. And
now for July, which will get uploaded
later today, I'll be up to about 1.8. So
uh you know, this this year I didn't
start with a big balance in my account.
I just sort of thought, you know, the
end of last year kind of cooled off, so
I took some money out. So let's just
reset to about 100 grand. And uh I've
been really pleasantly in
with um how many opportunities we've
had. I mean, June was phenomenal and
July really wasn't bad either. So, FCUV,
that's going to be the first one to keep
an eye watch for Monday morning. Now, if
we go down to um, after hour top
gainers, I always check this scan
because this shows me stocks that were
squeezing in the after hour session. And
our leader, as you can see, it's UPC.
UPC is a Chinese stock, as you could see
right here. This one we have traded in
the past and ended up squeezing up with
about 12 million shares of volume from
$3 to $8 a share. Micro pullback up to
eight, dip, pop, dip, pop, back down
right in here. This is something that
I'm sure traders are going to be
watching going into Monday because it'll
be up 100%. FCUV being up 50% after
hours is good, so that's going to be a
gapper as well, but UPC is the number
one gapper. So, on the chart for UPC,
and this is a stock that you'll see that
we have traded before. This was news
that came out, or this was at the uh,
end of June, we had this pop here from
$3 up to like 20 bucks, and then sold
off hard. So, my issue with trading it
here is that I always feel like these
pops are on the back side of this big
move. Now, you know,
if we look at the levels, we've got a
resistance level at eight, then you've
got a window up to 10.51, and then
you've got another window up to, well,
this is a gap up to 10.51, and then this
is a window up to 17.96, and then you've
got the 200 moving average right about
here. Um,
you know, but
we just have the issue that this is a
stock that, as you can see, uh, really
did sell off pretty hard after that move
in June. So, uh, let's see. So, China
UPC makes Nasdaq top gainer on
acquisition news. Um,
I'm just looking to see, uh, we'll just
check the BMCC on this one.
Right. So,
So they have the acquisition news. We
knew about that.
And then closing the acquisition.
Okay. So
The company's issued to to to
Interesting.
I was just seeing if
um
there was any
type of offering in this area, but I
don't actually see it.
So they announced the acquisition there,
and then they completed the acquisition.
So, you know, the announcement of the
acquisition gave that big pop, and then
the market kind of softened, and then
completing and closing it has given
another pop. I don't know. I'm not sure
what's realistic, but probably since
we're up around eight, we've got room to
1051, which would be filling this gap
right here uh in this area. Uh so maybe
up to 1051 would be something to keep an
eye on. So UPC is worth watching. SGLY,
this was up 16% in after hours. Uh it's
a nice price range here, but uh
relatively light volume. Um so probably
not going to be something that we can
really work with. VIVK, this one had
news um with Tesla. Um
I believe this was the one that had news
with Tesla
uh a week or two ago.
Was it VIV
Um
No, maybe I'm thinking of
uh VIVX.
Let's see.
VIVX. No, VIVTX. Mm. Well, I'm not sure.
In any case, um this one's only up about
13% in after hours trading. So
not a huge gap. And and this now gets
into gappers that were a bit smaller.
So probably not as interesting. Um you
know, I I something that I was
mentioning uh
yesterday um
I'm recording this on Saturday, but uh,
something I was mentioning on Friday was
that we've been
kind of in a market where it hasn't been
super clear what catalysts are going to
work really well. You know, I don't know
why FCUV worked as well as it did. Um,
you know, but then like MSS, which you
know, has a a very low float, has lots
of room to the 200, didn't work very
well. You know, it's it's kind of a
little bit hard to understand why some
of them end up making such big moves and
others struggle. Um, and so that's made
it difficult to predict when a stock
first hits a scanner that oh, this is
one I should be super aggressive on. By
the time you're like, okay, it's moving,
then you're like, do I get super
aggressive when it's already up 120%?
Well, in the case of FCUV,
you know, if you didn't get super
aggressive until $8 a share, you still
had room all the way up to 18, which,
you know, was there was still a lot of
potential on it. So, DFNS, you could
argue the same thing. If you didn't get
aggressive on this, you know, early on,
I mean, there were certainly
opportunities later to step up to the
plate. But one of the things that you
will notice about these is that as they
go higher in price, look it down here,
the volume declining.
Because once they get higher in price,
there it's just fewer traders that have
the cash in their accounts to trade, you
know, this kind of stock. So, um,
my approach right now is, you know, once
a stock is holding up, you know, at 60%
or 100% on the day, once it's holding
that level, it's not doing that
immediate round trip. Then I'm like,
okay, it's holding up here, you know,
let's watch this for, you know, the bull
flag and the move higher. Sometimes it's
a more extended pullback and then it
curls, other times it's a very small
pullback and then it it pulls away. But
the holding, you know, at least 50% of
that initial gain is what I'm paying
attention to. And so when we have stocks
that pop up and then, you know, go all
the way back down, yeah, I I pretty much
immediately I'm like, "Nope, that's not
going to work. I forget about that one."
But and it's not to say there haven't
been some exceptions where those have
continued higher, but like CYCU,
this one on Thursday starts squeezing up
and you could see this is kind of
interesting because initially you did
have that pop up to 45 cents and then it
came down more than 50%. But then it
kind of rallied back up and right here
when it pulled away it was like, "Okay,
I guess this thing's working." And then
it dipped again a little more than you'd
expect. So this kind of kept giving
short sellers the feeling that they were
in control and that became a trap. And
then here it started to really pull away
quickly.
You know, but
it just it it it was sort of unexpected
the way that happened. I think sometimes
the unexpected ones uh can end up being
some of the bigger moves because shorts
get confident uh too early and then they
get stuck. But with FCUV on the other
hand, this one
you know, really didn't pull back all
that much. It held its levels quite
well, pushed higher, you know, dipped
down, held its levels quite well, double
bottom, pushing higher. You know, this
was sort of the biggest drop um and then
from there we really weren't able to
make another strong move uh you know,
higher. So we continue to struggle with
that area around $18 a share. Uh and I
would say that needs to hold, but yeah,
what I'm going to be looking at will be
stocks that hit the scanners, start
squeezing up the high day momentum
scanner and then are actually holding
their levels. So at the beginning of the
day I'm using my top gainer scanner just
to get a sense of what's currently up,
but like FCUV wasn't on the top gainer
scanner on Friday morning. Uh not until
it came out with breaking news, which
was at like 8 Well, the news came out uh
actually at 3:00 in the morning, but it
didn't hit certain platforms,
interestingly, until like 8:15. So some
people perceived it as breaking news at
8:15 or whatever that was, 10 past 8. So
all of a sudden FCUV comes out uh right
here and squeezing up on the scanner.
And so I'm paying attention to the
alert, I click on the ticker, I check to
see where is it located, what's the
headline, I look at the chart, I check
the daily chart, and if the thing's
moving quickly, then I pull up the level
two, I look at the the orders that are
sitting there, is it thickly traded, is
it thinly traded, what's the spread, and
then is it starting to give me some type
of feel that this is going to continue
higher and I can jump in. And all of
that happens very quickly and just all
of a sudden like that, boom,
we've got stock taking off and it's game
time. So, the topic gainers scanner is
super helpful just for getting like big
picture what's going on. Um but when I
actually am looking for things that are
breaking out with news right now, it's
on the small cap high day momentum
scanner. And that's the one that I
really am paying close attention to uh
in those uh
pre-market trading sessions. All right,
so uh for those of you guys that want to
watch over my shoulder, let's get August
off to a good start. Let's focus on
take paying attention for First of all,
spend some time this weekend looking at
your metrics and asking yourself what
you did in August or in um July that
worked well and what didn't work so
well. So, for me, one of the things that
I can recognize is that
trading a little bit later in the
morning uh didn't pay off as well. I got
myself into a couple of um you know, bad
trades a little bit, you know, 10:00 to
11:00 and so these sort of cancel each
other out, but I just Well, actually,
that's uh year-to-date. Uh
so, actually, it's the whole year has
been that way, but this month was no
exception um last month for July. So,
last month was a little bit worse where
I had this bigger loss right there. And
so, I need to kind of remind myself to
slow down, be grateful, take the gains,
and if there's nothing during the window
that I usually trade the best, then wait
for tomorrow.
Um so, price and volume, you know, okay,
that's fine. I mean, for me, I think the
biggest thing is that my accuracy was a
little bit lower and you know, I had a
couple bigger losses, but this big loss
was also the one that I took,
um, you know, later in the morning, um,
you know, right through here, thinking
this thing would pull away, and then,
you know, stopping as it came back down.
So,
I need to, um, you know, really I I
added up here, and then I averaged down,
and then I finally stopped out here.
This is just a bad trade, all in all.
And so, I need to be paying attention to
the time of day that I'm trading. I
missed this whole move, and then finally
got in right here. This is not a good
decision.
So, um,
you know, anyways, my accuracy was a
little lower. My profit loss ratio was
one uh two to one, which was good, um,
but, you know, I did have a couple
bigger losses. So, I need to try to
tighten that up a little bit going into
August. And so, my hope and my thinking
is that, um, perhaps trading a little
bit less, but being even more aggressive
on the stocks like FCUV that are
working. FCUV was a great day, you know,
locking up $60,000 of profit. Um,
I could have absolutely made more more
money on it. I mean, there's no reason I
couldn't have made more on it. I,
you know, I I did well, but I wasn't as
aggressive as I could have been. I could
have taken more shares. So, I need to
have conviction and be more aggressive
when something, you know, really looks
good. And then when something is only
so-so, just just sit on the sidelines.
And I think that's going to result in
August being a better month. So, if you
want to watch over my shoulder and use
these scanners and the charts and the
news feed during the month of August,
the first 2 weeks, $20. It's a 2-week
trial for 20 bucks. You get to use the
software, you get to be in the chat
room, listen to my broadcast, attend the
mentor sessions, go through some of the
classes of the Warrior Pro curriculum.
That to me seems like a great way to
start the new month. So, I hope you guys
check out the 2-week trial, and I'll be
back at it first thing on Monday
morning, but let me remind you as always
that trading is risky. My results aren't
typical, and there's no guarantee you'll
find success, whether you trade with me
or you you on your own. So, please
manage your risk by practicing in a
simulator before putting real money on
the line.
With that, I'll see you guys bright and
early on Monday morning.
