On Tuesday, the S&P 500 fell for the sixth time in seven sessions while the Nasdaq notched its fifth decline in a row. On Wednesday, though, both indices finished in the green. That being said, let’s look at a few top stock trades as we have a lull in earnings.

Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 1: Tesla (TSLA)

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is on almost every stock trader’s radar almost every day. It’s too big of a growth name to ignore and whether you like Tesla or not, its $757 billion market capitalization is hard to ignore.

The stock had been riding its 10-day moving average higher, generally giving bulls a gentle dip after a decent rally. Surprisingly, Tesla finished in the green on Monday, but not before dropping over 4% from the open and bouncing off the 21-day moving average and a prior resistance zone near $700.

Now back over the 10-day and trying to extend its gains, bulls need to see Tesla clear the $760 area. If it can do that, it quickly puts the $781 level in play, then $800-plus.

However, a move below $735 puts the downside levels back in play. That includes $727, the 21-day moving average, this week’s low near $709, then $700.

Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 2: AMC Entertainment (AMC)

Alongside GameStop (NYSE:GME), AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is perhaps one of the most watched stocks when it comes to the “Reddit short-squeeze” trades.

Shares were looking pretty good as the stock rode the 10-day moving average higher and pushed through the key $48 level. However, AMC stock couldn’t sustain momentum over $50, and its pullback on Tuesday should have been met with support.

That’s as it dipped back to the 10-day moving average and the $48 breakout level. That’s not what happened, though, with shares gapping lower on Wednesday. Luckily, the 21-day moving average stepped in as support. However, $48 is again acting as resistance.

Overall, at least the roadmap forward is simple.

Over $48 and AMC stock can be a long candidate, with the recent high at $52.79 as the first upside target and the 61.8% retracement near $56 as the next target.

On the downside, though, watch this week’s low and the 21-day moving average. A move below these measures that isn’t reclaimed could put $40 and the 50-day moving average in play.

Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 3: Target (TGT)

Yesterday I noted that Target (NYSE:TGT) wasn’t looking all that healthy, despite being an excellent company.

The stock remains trapped below its 10-day and 21-day moving averages as active resistance, while it lost the 50-day moving average as support last month.

From here, we really need to see the stock hold up over $240 and the 21-week moving average. Should it lose these levels and close below $240, more selling pressure could come into play.

On the upside, I’m mostly focused on the September high at $247.70 and the 21-day moving average. If Target can close above these marks, perhaps it can squeeze up to the 50-day moving average.

For aggressive short-sellers, they could consider a short in Target — especially on a break of $240 — while using the $247.70 mark and the 21-day moving average as their stop-loss.

Top Trades for Tomorrow No. 4: Weber (WEBR)

Weber (NYSE:WEBR) jumped more than 7% after reporting earnings, and by the looks of the chart, this newly-public company hasn’t had the easiest run. That said, there are a few important developments on the chart.

First, after closing below the August low at $14.13 on Tuesday, Weber reclaimed that level today and even held it on a dip. That was a great long opportunity for bulls that were watching this name.

As it reclaimed $14.13, longs could use a stop-loss just below this week’s low.

Second, Weber is powering back up through the “Day One Low.” Now, WEBR stock has to contend with the 10-day and 21-day moving averages. However, as long as it’s above this week’s low at $13.91, bulls can justify a long position.

Above $16 could put the 61.8% retracement in play.
