Top 10 Stocks to Watch: June 2025
Last month, we pondered the possibility of a retest to the downside in May, which did not occur. We also thought that if buying pressure continued, it could take us to the $6,000 level, which did occur. The first week of May saw price briefly consolidate, followed by strong buying pressure to $5,993.50. The last week of
May presented a head fake, with a quick move down to $5,756.50 followed by a return to $6,008. As of this writing, price has pulled back, sitting just over $5,900.
Since mid-April price has risen significantly, and the possibility of sellers regaining some control seems to be mounting. If we see a sell-off as we move into June, look for sellers to target the $5,700 level. If that level is achieved, it would be a new low since mid-May.
That said, with price action setting a recent near-term high of $6,008, which last occurred in February, buyers continue to retain control. If buying pressure continues into June, look for buyers to target $6,100, followed by new all-time highs.
To capture the bulk of the volatility of earnings announcements, earnings trades are often executed either the day before or on the day of the earnings announcement. However, earnings trades can also be placed days or weeks before an earnings event, which could lead to early profit taking.
Alternatively, placing a trade shortly after an earnings announcement can be a strategic choice to circumvent the binary nature of the event. Evaluate each trade in a way that allows you to execute the position that matches your strategy.
If you're considering a trade going into an earnings event, one approach is to initiate the position in the monthly options contract that follows the earnings event.
This strategy offers flexibility. Should you need to defend your position — perhaps because of unexpected market movements — you have the choice to “roll” it out to the subsequent monthly options. Rolling out the position in this way enables you to extend its duration and potentially collect more premium, providing a buffer against market volatility.
