Our proprietary technical scanner sweeps the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 each trading day, weighing dozens of indicators to surface the stocks showing the strongest confluence of buy signals. Below are the five names that stood out on 24 August 2026, ranked by their bull-signal count.
1. Robinhood Markets (HOOD) – 16 technical buy signals
Price: $108.13 | Daily change: +13.7%
View the full technical analysis of Robinhood Markets
Robinhood leads today’s scanner with an impressive 16 bull signals against just 3 bear signals, and the price action tells its own story: the stock surged more than 13% in a single session. The catalyst appears rooted in a broader crypto-driven rally, with Bitcoin posting meaningful gains and dragging fintech names along with it. Robinhood’s CEO noted that prediction markets have become the platform’s fastest-growing business line ever, adding a fresh growth narrative beyond traditional retail brokerage.
Regulatory developments from Washington also appear to have played a role. Updated White House crypto policy announcements sent Bitcoin and related equities sharply higher on 21 August, with Robinhood among the standout beneficiaries. Treasury-related news from earlier in the week had already begun lifting crypto-adjacent stocks, setting the stage for Friday’s acceleration.
It is worth noting that not all observers are bullish on a longer-term basis — prominent market strategist Tom Lee recently advised caution on the stock for 2026 — so technicals should be read alongside a careful assessment of fundamentals. The signal count is strong, but the volatility here is equally notable, with the stock having traded as low as $94.51 just days before today’s print.
2. Mosaic Company (MOS) – 15 technical buy signals
Price: $24.41 | Daily change: +4.54%
View the full technical analysis of Mosaic Company
The Mosaic Company, a leading global producer of potash and phosphate fertilizers, claims second place with 15 bull signals. The stock has had a difficult year, at times trading near multi-year lows, yet today’s 4.5% gain and the improved technical picture suggest some stabilisation may be underway. Bear signals remain elevated at 7, reflecting a backdrop that is still mixed rather than uniformly positive.
On the analyst side, sentiment has been gradually turning more constructive. Freedom Broker issued a double upgrade earlier in the year, pointing to a recovery in sulfur supply as a key margin relief factor. William Blair has also expressed a bullish view on the materials sector more broadly, and Mosaic has been named as a stock with meaningful upside potential relative to its relatively modest dividend payout ratio.
Operationally, Mosaic has demonstrated resilience in volumes — phosphate sales earlier in the year reached their highest level in five years — even as surging input costs for sulfur and ammonia have weighed on margins. The company has also trimmed its capital expenditure guidance, which could be read as a prudent move to preserve cash. Investors should weigh the improving technical signals against these ongoing cost headwinds before drawing conclusions.
3. Strategy Inc – Class A (MSTR) – 14 technical buy signals
Price: $119.25 | Daily change: +6.1%
View the full technical analysis of Strategy Inc
Strategy Inc — formerly known as MicroStrategy — registers 14 bull signals and just a single bear signal, making it the cleanest technical picture in today’s list by that measure. The stock gained 6.1% on the session, broadly in line with the ongoing Bitcoin rally. As a company whose balance sheet is deeply intertwined with its Bitcoin holdings, MSTR tends to amplify moves in the underlying cryptocurrency, both to the upside and the downside.
Recent corporate activity has been active. The company continues to deploy capital into Bitcoin purchases, though some of its most recent acquisitions have been on the smaller end relative to prior tranches. Strategy has been utilising preferred equity instruments to fund purchases, a financing approach that has attracted scrutiny from some quarters — notably economist Peter Schiff, who has publicly questioned the sustainability of dividend commitments on those instruments.
Despite the debate around its capital structure, some analysts have outlined scenarios in which the stock could appreciate significantly over a multi-year horizon if Bitcoin continues on an upward trajectory. That said, this is a highly speculative name with an unusually direct linkage to crypto asset prices. The technical signals are bullish today, but investors should approach with a clear understanding of the embedded volatility and leverage.
4. Coinbase Global (COIN) – 13 technical buy signals
Price: $186.49 | Daily change: +8.2%
View the full technical analysis of Coinbase Global
Coinbase ties Corteva on 13 bull signals but ranks fourth on account of a slightly higher bear-signal count of 3. The stock has gained 8.2% today, recovering ground lost over a difficult stretch that had seen it trading close to its 52-week lows earlier in the month. The current rebound has been fuelled by a combination of Washington policy momentum and sector-wide optimism around digital assets.
A White House crypto summit and renewed legislative activity in Congress appear to have been key near-term drivers. Separately, Coinbase has been expanding its international footprint, securing regulatory permission from Abu Dhabi’s financial regulator to pursue tokenisation services — a development that some analysts suggest could represent meaningful long-term upside for the platform’s addressable market.
Coinbase’s derivatives subsidiary Deribit is also preparing to launch perpetual contracts on equities including MSTR, HOOD and others, signalling an ambition to broaden its product suite. It is notable, however, that the company’s own CEO has suggested the stock’s most recent Washington-driven surge may be partially disconnected from the underlying legislative detail. As with other crypto-adjacent names on today’s list, investors should treat the technical signals as one input among many.
5. Corteva (CTVA) – 13 technical buy signals
Price: $81.79 | Daily change: +2.93%
View the full technical analysis of Corteva
Corteva rounds out today’s top five with 13 bull signals and 4 bear signals, and a more measured daily gain of 2.93%. As a global agricultural science and solutions company — supplying seeds, crop protection products and digital farming tools — Corteva operates in a different corner of the market from the crypto-driven names higher up this list, which gives today’s selection a degree of sector diversity worth noting.
Fundamental momentum has been building. Corteva raised its full-year 2026 outlook after a strong first half, and Bank of America lifted its price objective on the stock earlier in the year, reflecting growing confidence in the company’s earnings trajectory. Goldman Sachs has also highlighted the stock as potentially undervalued, and the company has been named among leading agriculture-focused investment ideas by several research houses.
An upcoming corporate split has attracted attention and appears to be progressing on schedule, which could serve as a catalyst for further re-rating. Corteva’s relatively steadier business model, compared with the more volatile names on this list, may appeal to investors seeking agricultural sector exposure with a degree of earnings visibility. The technical picture today, with 13 signals in favour, supports the idea that the stock is in a constructive phase, though the bear-signal count warrants monitoring.
