The AI sector keeps delivering tradeable volatility — and I’m not talking about blue chips like NVDA or MSFT. I’m talking about the under-the-radar, low-float penny stocks that love to spike on news, PR hype, or sheer momentum.
April’s already off to a wild start thanks to a fresh round of DeepSeek hype and some explosive earnings surprises. Here are three AI penny stocks I’m watching closely…

Before you send in your orders, take note: I have NO plans to trade these stocks unless they fit my preferred setups. This is only a watchlist.
The best traders watch more than they trade. That’s what I’m trying to model here. Pay attention to the work that goes in, not the picks that come out.
Let’s get to the picks…
MicroAlgo Inc. (NASDAQ: MLGO) — The 500%* Single Day Squeezer
MicroAlgo Inc. (NASDAQ: MLGO) is back on my radar after another jaw-dropping short squeeze.
On March 24, MLGO spiked more than 500%* intraday. The company had just announced a plan to issue new shares — normally a bearish catalyst — but instead, it baited in short sellers and squeezed them out hard.
This wasn’t a fluke. Just a month earlier, MLGO ran from under $2 to over $11 — a 910%* move — before crashing back down. Then it squeezed again. That tells me something bigger is going on here.
Why I like it: The short-selling crowd is overcrowded right now. Everyone’s betting against these low-float junk stocks, and when too many shorts pile in, you get violent squeezes. MLGO is a textbook example. No news? Doesn’t matter. Price action tells the story.
Just look at Regencell Bioscience (NASDAQ: RGC) — it squeezed for eight straight days last month. MLGO could easily do the same if momentum holds.
Look at this 5-minute chart of $TNON early today, $4 to $6 with no chop, no consolidation, just pure upswing/squeezing shorts like the bitter lemons they are…then $MLGO did the same exact thing, spiking 50%+ midday, watch my new video on this: https://t.co/IRkjH9VqKx AND GET… pic.twitter.com/dQHbxgZHXm

Chart this one and study the pattern. It’s not about believing the hype — it’s about understanding how traders react to it.
MySize Inc. (NASDAQ: MYSZ) — AI Growth Meets Revenue Surprise
MySize Inc. (NASDAQ: MYSZ) just delivered a surprise 26% move higher on March 28, fueled by stronger-than-expected earnings and renewed interest from traders. Volume topped $2.89 million — and that kind of activity in a low-float AI penny stock always gets my attention.
This isn’t just random hype. The company reported full-year 2024 financials showing 18% year-over-year revenue growth and a 123% increase in cash. That’s the kind of real data that can trigger a breakout.
What’s even more impressive? A 37% reduction in net losses year-over-year — a rare sign of improving fundamentals in a penny stock stock.
They’re expanding integrations with Shopify, Magento, and even Salesforce — that’s real traction. This is what I call a sleeper setup. The financials are improving, cash is building, and the market hasn’t caught on yet.
Why I’m watching: The float is tiny, under 10 million shares. With a little news or volume, this thing can move fast. And with AI still being the hottest sector in the market, retail-facing platforms like MySize could grab trader attention in a flash.
If momentum kicks in, I’ll look for a first green day setup with strong volume confirmation. For now, it’s on watch.

UP Fintech Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ: TIGR) — DeepSeek Hype Fueling This China AI Play
Tiger Brokers (NASDAQ: TIGR) just integrated DeepSeek-R1 into their AI analysis tool, TigerGPT. That might sound like a niche update… but it’s a signal.
DeepSeek is the Chinese AI startup making waves with a low-cost model said to rival GPT-4. While U.S. traders can’t invest directly in DeepSeek, Chinese-linked names like TIGR are benefiting from the speculation.
Catalyst to watch: DeepSeek’s rise is creating sympathy momentum across Chinese AI stocks — we saw HOLO spike on nothing but a press release claiming integration. TIGR’s DeepSeek-powered TigerGPT just got regulatory approval in Hong Kong and is now free for all users.
That’s a strong fundamental catalyst in a hot theme, and it’s backed by real usage growth: over 1.17 million TigerGPT conversations to date, with weekly interactions over 18,000.
TIGR has a history of big multi-day runs. Watch for unusual volume or social media chatter to trigger the next leg.

Can I Buy DeepSeek Stock?
You can’t buy DeepSeek stock yet. DeepSeek AI is a Chinese AI startup, not a publicly-traded company. That means there is no stock symbol or ticker symbol available for purchase on any stock exchange.
Is DeepSeek Publicly Traded?
As of early 2025, DeepSeek AI is a private company owned by Chinese hedge fund High-Flyer, which was founded by Liang Wenfeng. This means that investors cannot buy DeepSeek AI stock through popular trading platforms or traditional share trading apps.
When Will DeepSeek Have an IPO?
There is no official timeline for a DeepSeek AI IPO, and the company has not announced any plans to go public. As a Chinese AI startup, it may face regulatory challenges if it decides to list on a U.S. exchange like the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Given the ongoing technology arms race between the U.S. and China, any potential DeepSeek AI IPO would likely be closely scrutinized by governments on both sides.
If DeepSeek AI does eventually pursue a public listing, it could follow a path similar to Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA), which first debuted in the U.S. before later exploring listings in China. However, until official news emerges, investors should remain cautious about speculation surrounding a DeepSeek IPO.
Final Thoughts
This AI wave isn’t over. If anything, it’s just getting started. From low-float squeezer setups like MLGO, to sleeper fundamentals plays like MYSZ, to China AI sympathy pumps like TIGR — there’s a ton of opportunity for prepared traders.
But remember: these are penny stocks. Don’t fall in love with the story. React to the price action, trade the setup, and always cut losses quickly.
This is a market tailor-made for traders who are prepared. AI penny stocks thrive on volatility, but it’s up to you to capitalize on it. Stick to your plan, manage your risk, and don’t let FOMO drive your decisions.
These opportunities are fast and unpredictable, but with the right strategy, you can make them work for you.
