3 Wild Robinhood Penny Stocks to Watch in April 2025

Robinhood traders love chasing hype — and right now, we’re seeing a perfect storm of volatility, low floats, and emotional trading setups.

Whether it’s media manipulation, sketchy filings, or a “Trump pump,” this market is tailor-made for penny stock spikers… and crashes.

That’s why discipline, planning, and fast exits are everything. Don’t chase these names — trade them with a strategy.

Check out my full Robinhood penny stock watchlist here!

Here are three low-float movers to watch this month…

1. MicroAlgo Inc. (NASDAQ: MLGO) — This Short Squeeze Refuses to Die

MLGO is a supernova in every sense of the word. It spiked 910%* in February, collapsed, then surged another 500%* in March — all while issuing more shares.

It’s still at the top of my AI penny stock watchlist!

Normally, dilution kills momentum. But when shorts get too aggressive in a crowded name like this, it can actually be rocket fuel. We’ve seen this pattern before: overextended junk squeezes again, and again, until the music stops.

Why it’s on my radar:

  • Multiple short squeezes in a low-float name
  • Parent company WIMI just upped its stake to 67%
  • Volume + volatility = prime trader bait

What I’m watching: Any signs of panic dips or VWAP reclaim setups with volume — but I won’t hold this overnight. This stock has proven it can drop just as fast as it spikes.

2. American Rebel Holdings (NASDAQ: AREB) — The Mar-a-Lago Momentum Play

AREB exploded over 100%* intraday on April 2 after a reverse split, a beer brand promo, and a televised Mar-a-Lago investor push. That’s the kind of media + hype mix that Robinhood traders eat up.

The float is now under 500K — which means even small buying pressure can cause halts, gaps, and chaos.

Why it’s in play:

  • 1-for-25 reverse split reduced float dramatically
  • Media appearances + political branding = retail bait
  • Classic low-float breakout structure

What I’m watching: Morning spikes, halts, and big round number resistance levels ($5, $10). This is a trade, not an investment — never get stuck in the fade.

3. Newsmax (NYSE: NMAX) — The Trump-Linked Meme IPO Gone Mad

NMAX made history in its first two sessions — up over 2,200%* before crashing 77% in one day. The IPO was limited, sold to 30,000 retail investors, and loaded with meme stock fuel: Trump ties, low float, and extreme hype.

With ad revenue tied to political cycles and a CEO holding 81% voting control, this isn’t a fundamentally sound play — it’s a trader’s dream or nightmare, depending on how you manage risk.

Why it’s a must-watch:

  • IPO pop turned meme mania, now in deep pullback
  • Political buzz + retail cult following = wild volatility
  • One of the most volatile IPOs ever

What I’m watching: If volume returns, we could see a dead cat bounce. But I won’t believe any hype — this is pure momentum, and risk must be tight.

Final Thoughts

This isn’t investing — this is war.

Robinhood stocks like MLGO, AREB, and NMAX are weapons of mass destruction for unprepared traders. But for those who know what to look for, they’re also opportunities to bank small, safe wins.

Stick to a plan. Cut losses fast. Take singles. Avoid holding overnight. Don’t fall for social media pumps.

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 .
