The 2025 stock market continues to surge higher.

Despite the month-to-month comments from tariff wary reporters, scholars, economists, and major CEOs.

  • The market isn’t worried about Trump’s August 1 tariff deadline, after the multiple postponements already this year.
  • The incoming trade deals (especially between China and the U.S. for NVDA chips) are inspiring bullish momentum.
  • U.S. inflation is still low and the labor market is strong.

And to no surprise, the AI sector continues to soak up all of this bullish momentum.

The #1 stock in the market, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) ran to new all-time highs again yesterday, July 29.

It’s understandable to think that you might have missed the boat when it comes to these AI opportunities.

But in truth, there are new AI stocks spiking to insane heights due to this larger NVDA momentum.

Already this week …

  • On Monday a $2 stock spiked 440%* after announcing that it secured $50 million to start an AI defense platform.
  • On Tuesday a $1 stock spiked 130%* after announcing an additional $1 million contract for AI energy systems.

My millionaire students and I load up on these cheap shares and ride the percent gain for profits.

You’re just in time to capitalize on the market’s newest AI stock spikes!

Watch my video below for the next setup:

2 AI Stock Spikes This Week

These small-cap AI stocks are perfect for short term gains.

  • The shares are cheap.
  • The spikes are massive.
  • But they don’t last forever …

I usually get in and out within a few minutes when I see one of my patterns in the price action.

That limits my exposure to risk. And I don’t have to constantly check my phone to obsess over my positions.

When I’m not looking at my computer, my account sits safely in cash.

Let’s look at some example price action …

Monday’s 440%* AI stock spike, VisionWave Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV), surged on day one after announcing that it secured $50 million to start an AI defense platform.

But on day two it dropped 35%.

Now, the stock still has a low float, it’s in a hot sector, and the price is consolidating: It could definitely squeeze higher from this level. 

But I’m not going to hold shares through a 35% drop to find out …

At this point, I’m looking for a breakout past Monday’s highs. Look at the VWAV chart below, every candle represents one trading minute:

On Tuesday, ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: STAI) spiked 130%* after Friday evening’s announcement of an additional $1 million contract for AI energy systems.

The stock’s float is a little higher than VWAV’s, but it’s still low compared to the rest of the market.

This is another AI stock that could squeeze to new highs this week.

The Next AI Trade Setup

We could see these two stocks spike higher …

We could also see another +100% run from an AI stock that has yet to announce news …

Here’s the key when it comes to these plays:

Don’t believe in the long-term position. Instead, use popular patterns to take the meat of the move.

I’ve seen countless AI stocks that spike and crash.

They all offer solid trade setups that we can use to make gains. But traders who overstay their welcome are sure to sink under water.

Look for this specific setup on the next AI stock spike!

In this hot 2025 market, there’s always another play to make around the corner.

Cheers

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 .
