top stock trades - 4 Top Stock Trades for Friday: CSCO, RIDE, KSS, DE

The market’s strong finish on Wednesday carried over to Thursday’s session, with bulls buying the open and bidding up the market all morning. That said, let’s look at a few top stock trades going into Friday.

Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 1: Cisco Systems (CSCO)

Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) started off notably lower on the day, opening with some post-earnings losses on Thursday. However, shares have rallied off the lows and erased those losses.

So far, Cisco continues to find its pre-novel coronavirus 2020 high as support, at $50.31. The stock had a huge breakout over this mark earlier in the year and continues to hold it as support.

Amid the bounce, it also reclaimed the 10-day moving average. However, while it continues to find support, Cisco also continues to struggle with the $52 to $53 area.

If it can clear that measure, last week’s high of $54.14 is in play. Above that, and perhaps we can take a trip to multi-year highs near $58.

Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 2: Lordstown Motors (RIDE)

Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ:RIDE) fell more than 15% in Thursday’s midday trading session. However, shares rallied more than 60% over the prior four days leading up to today’s action.

For now, the stock is struggling with the $11 level and the declining 50-day moving average. If it can clear this week’s high, the $12.80 measure is in play. Above $12.80 and perhaps RIDE stock can fill that small gap up toward $14.27.

If we get a real squeeze higher, the 21-week moving average and the $17 mark are possible.

On the downside, however, keep an eye on the 21-day moving average. A close below that could put a retest of the lows in play, near $6.75.

Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 3: Kohl’s (KSS)

Kohl’s (NYSE:KSS) is getting hit on earnings, sinking 10% on the day. However, it’s also catching a decent bounce from the lows.

This one is a tricky but interesting one.

It’s got several notable support measures between $50 and $54. That includes the 21-week and 200-week moving averages, as well as the pre-coronavirus 2020 high.

As much as investors won’t want to risk $4 a share, it’s not absurd to be long against $50. On a break of $50, we have a problem and it could send Kohl’s stock down to the $42.50 level and the 200-day moving average.

On the upside, though, let’s see if can get a gap-fill back toward the 50-day moving average and the $60 area. Above that puts $62 to $63 resistance in play.

If we can get a breakout to occur, the 161.8% extension at $76.50 is a reasonable longer-term target, but we need to see the stock clear its current highs for that to happen.

Top Trades for Tomorrow No. 4: Deere (DE)

Last but certainly not least given its strength over the last few quarters, we have a pre-earnings look at Deere (NYSE:DE).

This stock has been on a heck of a run, but it’s been out of favor over the last few days, declining in its last four sessions and in seven of the last nine days.

Personally, I would love to see the stock open at (and hold) the 21-week moving average and reclaim the Thursday low. That would give investors a solid low to measure against on Friday morning after it reports earnings.

On a sustained move below the 21-week moving average, we could have a test of the $325 area. On a real pullback, the $305 mark could be tested.

As for the upside, look for a move back through recent support near $366. Back above it puts the 50-day moving average in play near $375, followed by recent resistance at $386.

Above all those marks and the highs near $400 are possible.
