Markets are panicking. Headlines are screaming recession. Big money is pulling back. And what does that mean for us?
Opportunity.
If you’re trading penny stocks — especially if you’re dialed into day trading — this is exactly the kind of chaos that can work in your favor.
This is one of the best environments we’ve had for short-term trading in years.
We’re not here for the safe blue-chip bounce or macro predictions. We’re here to take advantage of volatility, liquidity, and patterns that repeat again and again.
And last week was a perfect example…
The Week That Was: Squeezes, Algos, and Insane Moves
Let’s start with the squeeze of the week: American Rebel Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: AREB).
This was my top short squeeze idea in Thursday’s Squeeze Master Pro Report. The plan was simple:
- Entry: $5.35
- Target: $7+
- Stop: $4.99
And what happened?
Right on cue, AREB tapped $5.35 in premarket on Friday — and within minutes it blew past $7. It ultimately ran to $20.89*.
This trade was built around real-time short interest data (not the delayed junk so many of you are still relying on), a textbook consolidation pattern, and a known squeezy ticker.
You could’ve traded the squeeze entry. You could’ve taken the Oracle signal. Either way — AREB was a monster.
These setups don’t just happen randomly. They follow patterns, and they come when the market is scared.
This Week’s Penny Stock Watchlist
Now let’s talk about the names I’m watching this week — all with the potential to move big if they hit the right levels.
- American Rebel Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: AREB) – Yes, we’re going back to the well. After Friday’s incredible move, I’d love to see a red-to-green setup on Monday. Gap it down, then rip it back through Friday’s close. That could ignite a secondary squeeze.
- Chanson International Holding (NASDAQ: CHSN) – This one hit my dip and rip algo late Friday after hours. Entry was around $0.22, and it pushed to $0.38. It broke Oracle resistance of $0.39 on Monday, and is rising again into the close. Keep this one close.
- Antelope Enterprise Holdings Ltd (NASDAQ: AEHL) – Classic junky dilution play with a squeezy chart. I’m watching for a breakout over $3.75.
- CXApp Inc (NASDAQ: CXAI) – Boring, yes. But it closed strong Friday. For the slower traders who like grinders, this one’s holding trend. Key level: $1.40.
- Impact Biomedical Inc (AMEX: IBO) – The dollar cross has been a brick wall, but if it gets through, this one has legs. That $1 breakout could be huge.
All five are showing potential — and when you combine them with my tools like Squeeze Master, Oracle, and Two Minute Trader, the edge just compounds.

Real Talk: Trading in a Panic
In my latest blog, I talked about something that too many traders get wrong — win-rate obsession.
Look, I get it. Winning feels good. But if you’re just racking up tiny wins and taking big losses…you’re losing money.
Instead, focus on this:
- Take small losses
- Find high reward setups
- Stick to tight risk management
- And trade setups that make sense in this market
Right now, that means squeezes, dip and rips, and red-to-green setups on junk names.
The market can be down 1,000 points and these plays still work. Just look at ICCT, RSLS, and IBO last week. Every one of them moved when the indexes were red.
This is the beauty of penny stocks. You don’t need the S&P to be green. You need liquidity, volume, and the right setup.
Final Thoughts: Stay Ready
This is not the time to be passive. This is the time to hammer your process.
Whether you’re trading from 4AM to 8PM — or preparing for the day 24 hours in advance — you need the right tools and the right mindset.
This week, I’m locked in on:
- AREB for a secondary squeeze
- CHSN for
- IBO on the dollar break
- And multiple setups coming straight from the algos and squeeze scans
Don’t get distracted by macro noise. Focus on what actually moves.
