Top Biotech Penny Stocks to Watch — July 21, 2021
Has summer trading hit biotech penny stocks?
While we saw some crazy spikers in both OTCs and listed stocks in the past weeks, this week’s a little quieter…
But it’s normal for the market to slow down in the summer. Traders go on vacation, and this year people are eager to get out and travel as more states and countries open up.
That’s why adapting to the market is crucial. You don’t have to trade every day.
Slow market days are a perfect opportunity to study and grow your knowledge account. Prepare now for when volume and spikers come back. You never know when the market will shift and you’ll have to adapt again.
Stop wasting your time and money trading sub-par setups. That just leads to frustration and unnecessary losses. And being in the wrong trade can cost you an opportunity when a better trade presents itself.
And today’s watchlist has a great lesson for traders who hold and hope. Find out what happens when bad news hits one of these sketchy biotechs…
Here are the top biotech penny stocks I’m watching this week and why…
Nobody is ever “weak” for taking profits into strength, that’s actually how you can make millions within a few years. And if any investment is destined to “go to the moon” you can easily buy back in along the way without having to risk disastrous losses that too many people have!

Now, let’s get to the top biotech penny stocks to watch this week…
Biotech Penny Stocks #1: CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: CYDY)
CYDY is a biotech that develops therapeutic antibodies.
On July 19 the company announced management will host a webcast on July 22 at 4 p.m Eastern to discuss its cancer and COVID-19 trials.
The stock had its first green day after the announcement. The next day it gapped up and continued higher. It’s also a former runner. I’ll watch for dip-buy opportunities into any big panics and a reaction to the webcast discussion.
Biotech Penny Stocks #2: NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: NRBO)
NRBO develops therapies for COVID-19, diabetic neuropathy, and neurodegenerative diseases.
The most recent news is from July 12 when the company announced shareholders elected two new board members.
In after-hours on July 19, the stock spiked with no news. The next day it gapped up and climbed up 80% on high volume. It’s a low float stock with fewer than seven million shares. It could be the target of a short squeeze. I’ll watch for a potential morning panic dip-buy opportunity.
Biotech Penny Stocks #3: Sesen Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: SESN)
SESN develops targeted fusion protein therapies to treat cancer patients.
On July 20 the company announced, “The first patient has been enrolled in China in the clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of Vicineum in patients with BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
“The milestone comes only four months after the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Vicineum was approved by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), which triggered a $3M milestone payment from Qilu Pharmaceutical, the first of $23M in potential milestone payments to Sesen Bio.”
Read the full press release here.
The stock didn’t have much of a reaction to the news. That could be because of dilution.
SEC filings show a shelf offering with up to $30.4 million worth of shares that can be sold into the market. On July 14, the company added another $100 million worth of stock to the offering.
This is another stock I’ll watch for potential panic dip-buy opportunities.
Biotech Penny Stocks #4: Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAGX)
JAGX develops drugs to treat gastrointestinal disorders.
The stock’s a former runner, going from under $1 to a high of $4.50 in January. But it’s been in a downtrend since.
On July 19 the company and its subsidiary announced the close of the Dragon SPAC financing. JAGX’s subsidiary, Napo EU, will merge with the SPAC in approximately 80 days.
Read the full press release here.
The stock had two green days following the news. I’d like to see more volume come in for the stock to have a big move. It likely has a ton of bag holders from its run earlier in the year.
Biotech Penny Stocks #5: Ardelyx, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARDX)
Since this is a watchlist and not a buy list, I have to mention ARDX. The company develops potential drug treatments for kidney and cardiorenal diseases.
In after-hours on July 19, the company announced the FDA responded to its new drug application for the control of serum phosphorus in adult patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis.
The press release notes, “the FDA has identified deficiencies that preclude discussion of labeling and post-marketing requirements/commitments at this time.” And, “while the FDA has not provided specific details regarding the deficiencies, the FDA noted that a key issue is the size of the treatment effect and its clinical relevance.”
The stock plunged 75% by the next morning. This is a great example of what can happen if you hold these sketchy biotechs long term. Bad news can hit your account hard.
Biotech Penny Stocks #6: Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. (OTCPK: CELZ)
CELZ develops stem cell treatments for various disorders.
It returns to the watchlist from last week since it continues to be a favorite among traders on the Reddit penny stock page.
But the company also released news on July 20 — it launched its second regenerative immunology product, MyeloCelz™.
Read the full press release here.
It has a huge float and needs a ton of volume for a big move. That’s why it’s a speculative watch for a breakout over 4 cents. I’d like to see it trade more volume.
Biotech Penny Stocks #7: Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: XERS)
XERS develops ready-to-use injectable drugs.
The company announced it entered an exclusive rights agreement for commercializing its treatment for severe hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes mellitus on July 19.
Read the full press release here.
It’s another stock that didn’t react to the news. I’ll watch for high volume to come in and one of my patterns to present itself before I plan a trade for this one.
Biotech Penny Stocks #8: Calithera Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: CALA)
CALA develops small molecule drugs to treat cancer tumors.
It has an ugly long-term chart, but SEC filings show institutions recently bought shares.
I’ll watch this one for a news catalyst, high volume, and one of my patterns.
Biotech Penny Stocks #9: NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMEX: NBY)
NBY develops eye and wound care products and offers KN95 masks.
Mask stocks ran in 2020. And with the new COVID-19 variant making the news, we could see these stocks run again.
On July 19, the company announced a partnership to commercialize its prescription eye care treatment, Avenova.
The stock had a green day after the news but then consolidated. Again, I’ll watch for more volume to come in and a potential breakout over 71 cents.
Biotech Penny Stocks #10: ZIVO Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZIVO)
ZIVO sells natural bioactive ingredients from algae cultures to supplement and medical food manufacturers.
On July 20, StocksToTrade’s Breaking News Chat alerted news that the company received a patent.**
The stock’s trading near its 52-week lows and it trades low volume. It’s another one I’ll watch for more volume to come in before I plan a trade.

Conclusion
Biotech penny stocks are stocks of small, developmental companies. These companies are usually desperate for cash. They need it to continue developing products and for testing and trials. Trade them with caution…
They’re known to be extremely volatile. They can have huge price swings. One minute they’re flying high on positive news — the next they’re down due to bad trial results, side effects, or stock dilution.
If you’re prepared to take advantage of the price swings, these stocks can offer great trading opportunities…

Hey Everyone,
As many of you already know I grew up in a middle class family and didn't have many luxuries. But through trading I was able to change my circumstances --not just for me -- but for my parents as well. I now want to help you and thousands of other people from all around the world achieve similar results!
Which is why I've launched my Trading Challenge. I’m extremely determined to create a millionaire trader out of one my students and hopefully it will be you.
So when you get a chance make sure you check it out.
PS: Don’t forget to check out my 30 Day Bootcamp, it will teach you everything you need to know about trading.
What is your opinion on ECOR?
Tim, what are your thoughts on $ATOS? Thanks!
Get in my http://tim.ly/sykesmc Trading Challenge for Q&A.
Hey, tim. Nice post!it’s really amazing and complete. My personal opinion on biotech is that they usually goes up, since it’s a raising niche. It’s hard too choose too, there are lot of good companies out there.
Stocks don’t always go up so be sure to lock in profits along the way. As for the actual companies, expect the worst and you’ll never be disappointed.
Hi Tim,
I love receiving this email each week and find it to be valuable information. I am new to penny stocks but I was wondering if you believe a person that also has a full time job can do well in the penny stock market? It seems that you have to be able to move fast when buying or selling, and I’m not sure if waiting until after work each day would suffice. Your opinion is appreciated.
You definitely need to find a strategy that works around your schedule. Can it be done? Yes. Will it be more of a challenge? Yes. You don’t have to sit in front of your computer every minute of the trading day, but you will need to find some time during trading hours. Preferably the first and last hour of the trading day. If you’re not able to do that at first, that’s ok. Focus on studying for now. The market will still be there when you’re ready.
So this list, based upon the Q&A goes back 6 months? And that’s useful how?
This list gets updated once a week. Yes, the post stays the same. But the list is new. Look at the charts. Do better.
Knowledge supports growth & development.
I respect that you have guts enough to put out a watch list. I’ve been doing a trial with your lists and not much yet, but appreciate your articulation of choices. When I start to win with pennys again I’ll join. Thx
We’d all be rich if every stock on a watchlist panned out. The point is to watch and learn. Remember, my favorite pattern is morning panics. Sometimes I’m waiting for the big crack rather than expecting it to keep going up. Trade safely and ALWAYS follow rule #1!
Thanks Tim
Could you profile the following?
TMDI-Titan Medical
BIOL-Biolase
If/when they’re in play. Right now, TMDI is 52% off its 52-week high with terrible volume. BIOL is also 50%+ off its highs with terrible volume. Focus big % gainers with news and volume!
Thanks Tim always helpful
Tim like what u give me on my watchlist m still keeping my head of above water just breaking even most of the time but that not my problem an maybe u can put me in my place i m found my starting to be a little greedy instead of making 50 buck here an 100 dollars there if u know what i mean an take what i can make an run with what i have i want to make more then 50 buck here an 100 dollars there m looking a head of making two or three hundreds at a time an i still have not learn my lesson this is wen i loose my ass an a third of my cash if possible help or any suggestion that can put me back on track or puy my self in my place
Focus on the process instead of the money. What are you learning from the trades you take? If something isn’t working, try something different. And if you need to size down or paper trade for a while, DO IT!
Thanks
I’m still working on grasping those concepts into my trading. It would be awesome if you were to visit Rochester, NY and host a bit of a weekend camp tutoring for those who are hearing-impaired/deaf who wishes to learn more about trading. Would you consider that?
how often is this blog for the Biotech penny stock update?
Every Wednesday.
Thank you Mr Sykes : your service and compass, evokes the term :
‘Greatness in humanity is often associated with those that do what others either ….won’t, or can’t.’ Keep up this great work.

Thanks Tim for showing me the ropes and becoming clear what needs to be done and hopefully become the next millionaire.
I’m chasing your every move, Tim.
BIOTECH STOCKS CAN PROVIDE LOT OF OPPORTUNITY IF TRADED WITH PRECAUTIONS AND STUDY. AT THIS MOMENT SOME STOCKS HAVE MOVED UPWARDS.
Thank you for your watch list. Gives me research targets and hope to profit from them soon. I’m retired, starting small and just began trading last week.
I have been getting you picks for 2 weeks now and I can’t wait for more. I have a lot of material to go through as you know but am trading some and things are working. It’s hard to sell a pick that is going up but I did today and just about hit the high. It just hard to sell. I have to get disciplined. Thank you for you information.
Hi, Tim, thanks for sharing this knowledge. But still, there is one question left. WHY? Why all that breakouts and volume happened on January 15? Looks odd, as for me. Very, very odd.
Join my http://tim.ly/sykesmc Trading Challenge for Q&A!
They are the future market for biotech but one have to be careful when trading them. They sound very good!
I have been trading penny stocks for several years now. I did notice the street has sell on everyone of your picks to watch. I didn’t think the street even gave their 2 c on penny stocks. I love trading them but I am not that good yet. I did turn 11000 into 49000 since may of 2020. Buy far my best. I am going to pay attention and try to learn. Thank you
thanks a lot. God bless you
