This week’s biotech penny stocks are moving on a mixed bag of catalysts… And as I cautioned last week, a lot of these big percent gainers aren’t holding their highs. We’re just not seeing as many multi-day runners in this sector right now. You MUST be ready to trade like a sniper. Plan your trades and protect your account by cutting losses quickly. These stocks are even sketchier than ever... Don’t be stubborn — that can lead to huge losses or account blow-ups. Prepare for the trading battlefield with your watchlist, trading plan, discipline, and the right mindset... Here are the top biotech penny stocks I’m watching this week and why. https://twitter.com/timothysykes/status/1422333128891408386 Top Biotech Penny Stocks to Watch These are the top stocks on my watchlist. ‘Watch’ is the key word here.

Now, let’s get to the top biotech penny stocks to watch this week… Biotech Penny Stocks #1: Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIXT) LIXT is a drug discovery company. It uses biomarker technology to identify targets responsible for serious diseases. On August 3 the company announced a preclinical study that showed its lead compound “was reported to enhance the effectiveness of elements of standard therapy in models of small cell lung cancer.” Read the full press release here. StocksToTrade’s Breaking News Chat alerted the news right before the market open.** The stock gapped up from $2.80 to $3.30 and spiked 30%, making a high of $4.12. (Past performance is not indicative of future results.) But the stock didn’t hold its gains and made a low of $2.63. I’ll watch this one for a dip buy into a big panic. Biotech Penny Stocks #2: Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCQB: IPIX) IPIX develops therapies for inflammatory diseases and cancer. The stock returns to the watchlist from last week. It was on watch for a breakout over 30 cents. The stock broke out on July 28 and is consolidating. (Past performance is not indicative of future results.) On August 2 the company provided an update on antiviral research for its potential COVID-19 treatment in development under FDA Fast Track designation. I’ll watch for it to potentially continue higher if it breaks out over $0.375. Biotech Penny Stocks #3: Enzolytics Inc. (OTCPK: ENZC) ENZC develops infectious disease treatments. The latest news on the company is from July 29. The company reported progress toward completing clinical trials for its potential HIV therapy. On August 2, the stock was pumped and promoted on social media. It’s a former supernova and it had its first green day. It was closing strong so I bought 155,000 shares at $0.1825 to hold overnight. The promoters didn’t do as good of a job as I thought … The next day the stock panicked at the open. But I sold quickly and took a single, selling at $0.191 for a profit of $1,318.* Let’s see if the promoters can pump this one back up. Biotech Penny Stocks #4: Altamira Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: CYTO) CYTO’s a biotech that develops potential treatments for ear, nose, and throat disorders. On August 3 the company announced it launched a website specifically for its nasal spray that may help protect against airborne viruses and allergens. The stock spiked almost 80 cents a share after the news. It has a history of huge spikes but also fails to hold its gains. I’ll watch for a dip-buy opportunity. Biotech Penny Stocks #5: Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OTLK) OTLK develops potential treatments for eye diseases and vision loss. On August 3 the company announced positive Phase 3 data for its potential treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration. President and CEO C. Russell Trenary III said, “We are delighted with the compelling results observed in NORSE TWO, which represent a significant and potentially transformational milepost for patients suffering from wet AMD. We plan on bringing the first ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab to market, if approved.” Read the full press release here. HC Wainwright also upgraded the stock's price target to $6. It gapped up from $2.26 to $3 and made a high of $3.27. It traded high volume but couldn’t hold its gains. It’s a former multi-day runner. I’ll watch it for a potential bounce to the upside. Biotech Penny Stocks #6: Xenetic Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: XBIO) XBIO develops treatments that target tumors. It’s another stock returning from last week. It was on watch for a short squeeze after the stock made a big move on news but closed near its lows. The stock squeezed above $5 on July 29. (Past performance isn’t indicative of future results.) The stock’s consolidating. I’ll watch for it to break out or break down before planning a trade. It has a low float of roughly eight million shares, so it could have a volatile move. Biotech Penny Stocks #7: Galmed Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: GLMD) GLMD develops liver disease treatments. On August 2 the company announced, “the FDA agreed with its plan to use Aramchol meglumine (in lieu of Aramchol free acid) in its Phase 3 ARMOR study without the need to conduct additional nonclinical and clinical studies other than planned limited pharmacology studies relating to Aramchol meglumine.” Read the press release here. The stock went from $2.70 to $3.40 after the news but it didn’t hold its gains. The stock has a history of failed spikes. I’ll watch it for a dip buy into a big panic. Biotech Penny Stocks #8: IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (OTCQB: IGXT) IGXT develops oral thin film products to treat migraines and depression, as well as pain and nausea in cancer patients. The company will report second-quarter financial results on August 4 after hours. A conference call will follow at 4:30 p.m. Eastern. I’ll watch for a reaction to the earnings and one of my patterns before I plan a trade. Biotech Penny Stocks #9: Phio Pharmaceuticals Corp. (NASDAQ: PHIO) PHIO develops immuno-oncology therapies. On August 3 the stock was up 10% with no news. It has a history of volatile moves. But I’d like to see a news catalyst and more volume before I plan a trade. Biotech Penny Stocks #10: Bionomics Limited (OTCQB: BNOEF) BNOEF develops drug candidates to treat central nervous system disorders. On August 2 the company announced it plans to conduct an IPO in the U.S. of American depositary shares (ADS) on the Nasdaq. The stock had a green day after the news and the following day it gapped up. I’ll watch it for a potential breakout over 16 cents, ideally with more volume.

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...
