Markets trudged higher once again on Monday, but not without some struggle. That’s as the Fed is on the calendar for this week, alongside a slew of earnings reports. With that in mind, let’s look at a few top stock trades.

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

I have a friend who worked several decades on the trading floors in Chicago. Although referring to the S&P 500 futures, he has a saying that goes something like, “They look so bad, ya gotta buy ‘em!”

That’s the first thing that came into my head on Sunday night looking at a chart of Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD) over the past week.

After rallying for five-straight days, Bitcoin finally closed above its 50-day moving average coming into Monday’s session. Now ripping higher on its sixth-straight daily gain, Bitcoin is knocking on the door to $40,000.

Last week, I said Bitcoin had to hold the $28,000 to $29,000 area, but I was leery that it would. It looked like crap — it looked so bad that I guess it was a buy.

Let’s see how Bitcoin does with the June high, near $41,350. Above that could put the 200-day moving average in play. On the downside, though, let’s see that the 10-day and 50-day moving averages act as support on the eventual dip.

Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 2: Microstrategy (MSTR)

Let’s take a look at a few of the Bitcoin plays on the equity side, starting with Microstrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR). This company has pushed hard into the space, accumulating a ton of Bitcoin

Here is a monthly chart for MSTR stock, showing the volatility it’s experienced this year. It also shows that the stock continues to bounce off the 10-month moving average.

Currently, we’re looking at an inside month for Microstrategy. If we get an inside-and-up — where MSTR stock takes out the July high in August, assuming the July high is below the June high — then we could see a strong rotation higher.

I personally would prefer that setup vs. a monthly-up rotation, where the July high takes out the June high in the next few days. Either way, we could be looking at a rotation that sends MSTR stock back to $800-plus.

On the downside, however, keep an eye on the mid-$400s — as well as the 10-month moving average.

Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 3: Riot Blockchain (RIOT)

Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ:RIOT) is also popping up all over our scanners.

I hate to be overly simplistic, but oftentimes those are the best approaches. On the upside, keep an eye on $40. If Bitcoin prices continue higher, so too will Riot, but this level has been notable all year long.

On the downside, though, I desperately want to see the 10-day, 21-day and 50-day moving averages combine to act as support. Back below the 200-day moving average and who knows, Riot may retest the lows. It would also likely mean Bitcoin is in a bad spot, too.

Top Trades for Tomorrow No. 4: Hasbro (HAS)

Hasbro (NYSE:HAS) is jumping after reporting earnings before the open.

All year long, Hasbro has struggled with the $100 level, which the stock is bursting through right now. I want to see $100 become support, as do all of the investors that stuck with this one.

If HAS stock loses $100, it puts the 50-week moving average in play. Below that, and $90 is on the table.

However, on the upside, let’s see if Hasbro stock can push up to $109.50, the pre-coronavirus high from 2020. Above that could open up the $120 to $121.50 area.

Top Trades for Tomorrow No. 5: General Electric (GE)

General Electric (NYSE:GE) will report earnings on Tuesday morning, with bulls hoping they get good enough news to justify bidding this one higher.

Here is a monthly chart — I like to zoom out. Notice how GE stock is holding the 10-month and 50-month moving averages. It’s also holding the $12.25 level. I want to continue seeing that after General Electric reports earnings.

Below could put $10 and the 21-month moving average in play.

On the upside, though, let’s see if shares can take out the $14.40 level. Above that could put $16.75 in play.
