Top stock trades - 4 Top Stock Trades for Tuesday: Bitcoin, IBM, TSCO, NVAX

The selling we saw on Friday didn’t slow much on Monday, with poor breadth and plenty of dips. That said, we saw a lot of stocks flip green too, so there were some silver linings. With all of that in mind, let’s look at a few top stock trades for Tuesday.

Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 1: Bitcoin (BTC)

While stocks are getting all the talk today, don’t forget about cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD) and others are seeing some selling pressure too, with Bitcoin prices down about 2.7%.

Bitcoin has done a great job holding the 50-week moving average for a few months now. However, it opened below that measure this week and has yet to reclaim it.

It’s also into a notable support zone, which bulls need to see hold. A close below last month’s low near $28,800 and we can see further selling pressure.

On the upside, let’s see if Bitcoin can reclaim its 50-week moving average. Above that, and its 10-week and 10-month moving averages become the focus.

Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 2: IBM (IBM)

International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM) reported earnings after the close. The stock broke $143 and the 10-week moving average a few weeks ago, but it was holding the 21-week moving average as support.

However, that level is now failing as support (for the moment) with Monday’s gap-down open. It’s also losing the $137 level. So, what now?

On a post-earnings dip, I want to see the 10-month moving average hold as support, but that may be too tight of a leash. In that instance, we need to see the 50-week and 21-month moving averages hold as support.

On the upside, though, the more levels that IBM stock can reclaim, the better. Back over $143, and $150-plus is on the table.

Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 3: Tractor Supply (TSCO)

Tractor Supply (NASDAQ:TSCO) reported earnings before the open on Monday, and moved lower as a result. However, buyers stepped in near the $172 mark and are bidding it back higher.

Now shares are reclaiming the 21-week moving average. Let’s see if TSCO stock can reclaim the 10-week moving average and fill the gap at $184.46. Back above $185, and $190 could be in play. Above $190, and the obvious $200 mark becomes viable.

On the downside, however, a break of the $172 mark and this week’s low could put the 10-month moving average in play, followed by the 50-week moving average. Keep it simple folks.

Top Trades for Tomorrow No. 4: Novavax (NVAX)

For Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX), I wanted to zoom out to the monthly chart. As you’ll notice, the stock has had a volatile yet profitable run to the upside.

The stock has been holding $150, and more recently, holding the 10-month moving average. From here, I want to see if the stock can rotate over the June high at $229.50.

If it can, $240 resistance immediately comes into play, followed by the 61.8% retracement of the current range near $250. Above that, and a push toward $300 may be in the cards.

On the downside, keep an eye on the 10-month moving average. A close below it may put $150 back in play.
