Are These Premarket Penny Stocks On Your List Today?
When looking for penny stocks to add to your watch list, what are some of the criteria you require? Some traders might focus on penny stocks with news. Others may look for simple momentum trends. There’s no right or wrong answer to this question as long as you’ve got a plan in place when it comes time to trade. Today we’re going to discuss premarket hours. This can be an exciting time in the stock market and one where you’ll see a lot of big swings from certain small cap stocks.
However, unless you’re planning on just trading before the market opens, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, what you see during premarket might not be what you get when the market actually opens. We see things like “gap up” and “gap down” trends. This is where certain penny stocks might trade much higher than their previous close (gap up) or much lower than the previous close (gap down). However, just because penny stocks are gapping up or gapping down, it doesn’t mean that will become the defined trend at the opening bell.
You’ve got to take the psychology of trading into consideration. This gap up is a huge opportunity for previous holders to cash in on their investment. If they were able to buy a penny stock for $0.50 a share “yesterday” and “today” it’s trading at $1.50, who wouldn’t be enticed to take a 200% profit? Once the sell-off ensues, the earlier bull trend usually doesn’t persist much longer.

Not all penny stocks that gap up will breakdown, however. Many actually “gap and go” meaning they continue running much higher at the opening bell. There’s plenty of technical and fundamental analysis that goes into deciding whether or not to buy penny stocks like these. With this in mind, are any of these names at the top of your list today?
