3 Penny Stocks Under $1 to Watch in July

I don’t trade penny stocks under $1 because I think they’re the next Apple. I trade them because they move.

These are high-risk, high-volatility setups — most will go to zero. But if you know what to look for, a well-timed trade can turn a small account into a growing one.

Here are three sub-$1 stocks I’m watching this month — not because they’re safe, but because they’re in play.

If you want to know what else I’m looking for — check out my free webinar here!

Bit Origin Ltd. (NASDAQ: BTOG)

Setup: Crypto hype meets Nasdaq compliance bounce

Why it matters: This is a classic “problem turned potential” setup. BTOG just regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum equity requirement after nearly six months of delisting risk. The market liked the news — the stock exploded 58% in premarket on July 11 and traded over 50 million shares that day.

Earnings are expected soon, and volatility is already off the charts. Price swung from $0.19 to $0.37 in a single day. I’m not buying the company — I’m watching the chart for panic dips and intraday breakouts.

Plan: I’ll be watching this one for morning dip buys or late-day spikes if volume holds. Big moves happen fast here — don’t chase.

Argo Blockchain PLC (NASDAQ: ARBK)

Setup: Oversold crypto miner + institutional exit = squeeze risk

Why it matters: ARBK surged 20% to $0.33 after J.P. Morgan disclosed it trimmed its stake — and traders bought the news. That’s not a bullish fundamental story, but it shows how sentiment alone can drive this kind of penny stock.

The sentiment is there — and it’s making crypto penny stocks go nuts.

Crypto remains volatile, and with Bitcoin hovering near key levels, miners like ARBK can become fast-moving sympathy plays. The stock is 80% off its highs and still has short squeeze potential.

Plan: No news? No trade. If crypto rallies or this one hits scanners again, I’ll be ready. Watch $0.35 as a potential resistance zone — but don’t force it.

More Breaking News

Tilray Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY)

Setup: Cannabis rescheduling rumors + deep oversold bounce

Why it matters: TLRY ripped 17% after news broke that cannabis could be reclassified as a Schedule III drug under U.S. federal law. That’s the kind of political catalyst this sector lives and dies by — and it gave traders a reason to jump back into a stock that’s down nearly 99% from its highs.

Tilray’s been a falling knife for years, but the potential for short-term spikes is still there. It’s one of the best-known cannabis stocks. The float is massive, but so is the short interest — nearly 20%.

Plan: I’ll be watching for continuation this week. If the cannabis narrative heats up, TLRY could see another squeeze. Use small size, tight risk. This isn’t a hold — it’s a trade.

Final Thoughts

These stocks are cheap for a reason. I’m not investing in them — I’m trading their volatility. Stick to your setups. React to the price action. And cut losses quickly.

These supernovas happen faster than most traders realize. If you aren’t prepared, you miss the move. If you chase, you almost never come out ahead.

We see multiple supernovas every month. Study the chart. Learn the catalyst. And get your mind locked in for the next explosive move.

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
