Traders love to chase headlines — and nothing moves faster than a good crypto pump or a Trump name-drop. Lately we’ve seen both. Three low-priced names — Hyperscale Data Inc. (AMEX: GPUS), Gryphon Digital Mining Inc. (NASDAQ: GRYP), and Webus International Limited (NASDAQ: WETO) — have all spiked on a combination of speculative crypto news, DEX launches, and political tie-ins.
Don’t chase randomness. Study the patterns. Wait for ideal setups.

Here’s what I’m watching…
The crypto sector’s heating up again — but not just because bitcoin hit another record high.
This time, the setup’s deeper. Lawmakers in Washington are pushing forward with three major crypto bills — the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. These could define the future of digital assets in the U.S. for years to come.
Halfway through 2025, we’re seeing surges in crypto-linked stocks like Coinbase (COIN), Robinhood (HOOD) and newly public Circle (CRCL). Bitcoin cracked $121,000 to start the week, and the sector’s now riding the kind of momentum traders dream of.
It’s not just about coins anymore. Regulation could reshape the entire industry — and traders are speculating on what that means for exchanges, miners, and stablecoin issuers. Combine that with Trump’s renewed tariff threats and inflation uncertainty, and we’re entering a pressure-cooker environment where volatility will spike.
At their best, every crypto stock trades like a penny stock. That’s why I watch this sector closely — not to invest in the future of blockchain, but to trade the patterns when hype meets momentum.
Here are three crypto-related stocks I’m watching — based on real news, price action, and market psychology.
GPUS spiked big on July 1 — then faded just as fast. Classic crypto news mover. The company dropped a headline about launching a U.S.-based decentralized exchange under its Ault Markets subsidiary. Traders piled in premarket, sending it up near $3 before it slammed back down to $1.49 by the close.
This is textbook summer action: fast move, fast fade.
What I’m watching for: Another spike off similar news or a chat pump. The float is relatively low and this has run before. But it needs volume and a clear breakout level. No volume = no play. No setup = no trade.
GRYP moved on July 2 after news of its merger with American Bitcoin — a Trump-adjacent Bitcoin mining firm — and plans to uplist under the new ticker ABTC. It had premarket hype, but the move was weak by comparison to GPUS. It couldn’t hold the spike and faded steadily.
This kind of slow fade is not what I want mid-morning. If it fails to hold premarket levels again, it could get ugly fast.
What I’m watching for: GRYP has re-spike potential if the Trump/Bitcoin combo headline gets recycled. Otherwise, this is a wait-and-see. If it perks above key resistance with volume, I’ll reassess. But fading action after the open is usually a red flag.
WETO ripped over 100% after announcing a $100 million equity line of credit from Ripple Strategy Holdings. Traders grabbed onto the XRP connection and ran with it.
This is a low-float name that can run when it gets attention — especially with anything crypto- or Trump-related. Now it’s pulled back, but the volatility is still there. Rumors of acquisitions and expansion into blockchain-based payments are circulating.
What I’m watching for: WETO can go up a second leg if volume comes in again. I want to see a morning spike that holds support mid-day. No clean pattern = no trade. But this kind of speculative volatility is exactly what I train my students to recognize and react to.
Don’t let hype dictate your trades. Let the chart and volume tell the story.
GPUS, GRYP, and WETO are all running off the same themes — crypto, Trump, and cheap share prices. That means they can move fast, and they can dump even faster.
Be prepared. Be patient. Wait for clean setups.

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 .
