Robinhood Markets: #PowerStocks Series Pick Of The Week (August 2026)

Did you notice that US President Donald Trump has been pretty coy and quiet about the war with Iran lately? Ever since the peace deal with Iran expired last week. He hasn't added more chaos to the fragile situation, although he had promised tougher sanctions on Iran (not that Iran hasn't been hit with extremely draconian sanctions already). And the world is watching. Will Iran cave in? I don't think so. Not after what it has gone through, and with support from several big, powerful nations. Despite all the chaos from the war in Iran, this week's #PowerStocks pick is unfazed. Its uptrend is fresh, beginning in Apr 2026. And there's likely much more to come. But before I analyze this week's stock pick, let's review last week's #PowerStocks pick: RPM (RPM).

Review Of Last Week's Pick Of The Week

RPM (RPM) was last week's #PowerStocks pick. The company manufactures and sells construction solutions such as coatings, sealants, and building materials. It's also 1 of the largest companies in its industry, enjoying a market capitalization of over $14b. Despite its enormous market capitalization, its shares have been exploding higher continually. After rising over 11% in 1 week, its shares began pulling back. And I'd identified its support area where I'd anticipated its shares to rise from there. Did the shares of RPM rise? Head over to my Telegram Channel to find out! Speaking of Telegram, my team and I will never ask you for your hard-earned money for "investments". I know and understand that the allure of high returns without effort is highly attractive. It breaks my heart when I hear of people falling for impersonation scams.

Why Is Swing Trading Robinhood Markets (HOOD) Worth It?

 

Source: robinhood.com

Robinhood Markets (HOOD) is a brokerage firm that supports stock, options, cryptocurrency trading, and more. The company is well-loved for its low fees, ease of use, and its wide variety of cryptocurrency services, including staking and earning rewards from its partner blockchains. With a market capitalization of nearly $100b, Robinhood Markets is the world's 45th-largest finance company. Unlike many large companies whose shares exhibit lethargic price movement, its shares are highly active, consistently surging. After surging 18.1% in a week, a pullback could emerge soon. When that happens, it could be the perfect moment to buy its shares and capture its next explosive upmove. What's my game plan? Where's a favorable price area to buy its shares at? Continue reading to get the details.

Performance Of US Stock Market vs Robinhood Markets (HOOD)

The very 1st thing I want to know is the trend of Robinhood Markets' shares. Knowing the trend of its shares allows me to determine whether I'd look for a buying or shorting opportunity because following its price trend will sharply increase my chances of profitability. Looking at the chart above, its shares are in a strong and powerful uptrend. Hence, I'd like to find an opportunity to buy its shares. What's next? I'll compare the performance of its shares against the S&P 500. Why? I want my hard-earned money to work hard for me. A stronger-performing stock is likely to continue bringing a larger-than-market return. So, I'll have a look at the comparison chart above again. While the S&P 500 has risen 3.1% over the past 3 months, the shares of Robinhood Markets have risen nearly 42.4%! That's more than a 13x outperformance! I'm excited. I can't wait to buy its shares for an explosive swing trade. Should I do just that now?

How Explosive Is Robinhood Markets (HOOD)?

No, I shouldn't rush to buy its shares without a deeper analysis. Since I plan to buy its shares and capitalize on its next upmove rather than accompanying it when it pulls back, my holding period will be around a week or 2. Therefore, I want its shares to have the ability to explode upwards. Have the shares of Robinhood Markets been able to explode upwards consistently? Marking out the explosive upmoves for the past 11 months has left me stunned. There are 33 explosive upmoves, with each measuring between 6.2% and 42.7% in just days! You read that right. There's no typo. I got more excited when I discovered the size of Robinhood Markets. This company enjoys a large market capitalization of nearly $100b! This ranks Robinhood Markets among the world's largest finance companies. Additionally, I appreciate that Robinhood Markets enjoys an enormous market capitalization, as this provides an extra layer of security against manipulation. I don't wish to lose my hard-earned money to manipulation that could be easily prevented! Here comes the golden question: Is it time to buy the shares of Robinhood Markets for an explosive swing trade?

Key Price Levels

Timing is crucial for many things in life. This includes stock trading and investing. Buying an explosive stock at the wrong time can result in significant losses and emotional distress. This will cause you to lose confidence, and you'll doubt yourself even when a fantastic trading opportunity arises straight from under your nose! Is there a way to tell whether the time to buy the shares of Robinhood Markets is here? Fortunately, yes! You can do so by uncovering its key price levels (also known as support and resistance zones). And that's what I've done in the chart above. After rising 18.1% in a week, a pullback could come soon. When the pullback comes, I anticipate its shares will pull back to the support zone around $104 before rising. Thus, I would like to wait for the scenario above and a bounce off $104 before buying its shares to catch its next explosive upmove. Here's a pro tip: Instead of staring at your screen, consider setting a price alert on your broker's platform to be notified so that you can spend precious time with your loved ones.

Which Instrument Should You Consider Using?

  Do you ever wonder about the instrument used to trade explosive stocks? With 3 main trading instruments available - stocks, contract-for-difference (CFD), and options, you wonder which suits you best. Since stocks (as an instrument) is easy to understand, I shall focus on CFD and options. Here are the main similarities and differences: CFD works like a mirror to stocks. When a stock rises $1, its CFD rises $1. However, due to its unique pricing mechanism, your options price doesn't rise by the same amount. In fact, depending on the market conditions, the price of your options contract may even drop! Your CFD broker will charge you a finance fee for lending you money for your trade. However, no lending is required for options, so there is no finance charge. Because there's a finance charge by your CFD broker, CFD is not the ideal instrument for mid to long-term trades. On the other hand, options allow you to implement different strategies across time horizons. Both CFDs and options are leveraged instruments because they allow you to control a larger market position with a smaller amount of capital. While CFDs do not have an expiration date, options traders must pay attention to the expiration date of their options contracts. You must be thinking, "What's the beauty of trading options?" Options are like smartphones. You can choose to use a smartphone for its basic or advanced functions.

And options don't have to be all about Math and dry!

It can be made easy to understand through real-life analogies.

In the same way, you can implement basic and/or highly advanced strategies depending on your level of comfort. Options allow you to be versatile in adapting to the shifting market conditions and capturing opportunities in the process. Are you a CFD or options trader? I'm glad to be fluent in both.
