5 Trades To Consider Today On This Trend Signal

Volatility is back in a big way as markets continue to bounce wildly in the face of trade wars, economic uncertainty, souring consumer sentiment and lingering inflation.

For traders, this can actually be a very profitable time. Even in this brutal correction, you can find winning stocks if you use the right trading signals.

Five stocks are flashing buy signals on the relative strength index (RSI) and moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) indicators.

To be successful at short-term trading, you'll need to understand trend following and momentum strategies, which study the actions of individual traders more than the underlying companies themselves.

Today, we'll look at five stocks showing technical strength amidst this brutal correction. Using momentum indicators like moving averages, the RSI and MACD indicator, we'll find uptrending stocks near levels of support that could present buying opportunities for short-term traders.

Waste Management Inc. 

Companies that handle waste management are always popular for investors when markets turn down, so why not look into the one named Waste Management? Waste Management Inc. WM is the most prominent firm for refuse, trash and recycling disposal, with a market cap of over $91 billion and more than 61,000 full-time employees.

While stocks like WM are usually long-term investments designed to outperform in bear markets, this one might also have some promise in the short term. WM shares recently pulled back to $220 from $234 but bounced higher at the 50-day moving average, indicating a possible support level. The stock price also trades above the 10-day and 20-day moving averages, lending more evidence to the uptrend remaining in place. The MACD also appears to be heading toward a bullish crossover, and the RSI sits comfortably at 54. WM also has a Benzinga Edge Momentum score of 77.14, which is far from the highest on our list, but yet another signal that this stock has more upside potential ahead.

Howmet Aerospace Inc.

Howmet Aerospace HWM has another appealing chart showing strong technical signals for more upward momentum. While not as well-known as aerospace companies like Lockheed Martin or Boeing, Howmet is still a massive firm with a $52 billion market cap and nearly 24,000 full-time employees. The company primarily produces jet engine components, fastening systems and airframe structures.

Howmet has one of the highest Benzinga Edge Momentum scores at 96.01, and it’s not difficult to see why when looking at the daily chart. Since the start of 2025, HWM shares have hugged the 50-day moving average as a support level and the two previous encounters saw the stock bounce higher in the coming days. The 50-day and 200-day moving averages both confirm the uptrend, in addition to the bullish MACD crossover and an RSI signal well below overbought levels. 

Life Time Group Holdings Inc. 

Life Time Group LTH is a health and wellness brand with 170 fitness centers across the United States and Canada. The company specializes in lifestyle experiences through physical activities, classes and family-oriented environments. The firm's clubs contain tennis, basketball, and pickleball courts, as well as traditional gym equipment, spas, pools and a bistro for healthy food.

The LTH hourly chart seems to be showing an opportunity for a short-term gain. The stock has spent the last week in a choppy decline, but the RSI recently dipped below 30, triggering an oversold signal. Another bullish signal may be forming as the 5-day moving average appears on a path to cross the 10-day moving average. On the daily chart, the 50-day MA is acting as support and remains elevated above the 200-day MA; hence, the LTH shares carry a Benzinga Edge Momentum score of 96.09, the highest of any stock on our list today.

Clearway Energy Inc. 

Clean energy enthusiasm has certainly dampened moving from the Biden administration to the Trump administration, but many clean energy stocks continue to soar as the rest of the market stumbles. Clearway Energy CWEN is one of those companies, and its stock is up over 20% since the first week of 2025.

CWEN may have more runway to the upside as one of the most significant bullish signals was recently triggered on the daily chart- the 50-day MA crossed over the 200-day MA. A bullish crossover always catches the eye of short-term traders. CWEN's Benzinga Edge Momentum score is a strong 84.19. However, traders must watch the RSI, as this recent upswing has brought it close to 70, where the traditional overbought signal kicks in.

Zim Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. 

Zim Integrated Shipping ZIM is a cargo transportation firm based in Israel. It has a $1.86 billion market cap and owns a fleet of ships with access to all major global trading routes. ZIM isn't a company where analysts or market pundits are very high in the long term (hence its consensus Sell rating), but a critical buying signal was just triggered on the short-term chart.

ZIM shares recently hit oversold on the RSI, and historically. This has been a good profit opportunity for shrewd traders. Before this week, the most recent instance of an RSI oversold signal occurred on January 21; the stock price rose from $16.24 to $21.80 in less than a month. Another oversold signal struck back in March 2024, and by the start of June, the stock had doubled from $10 to $20. ZIM shares have earned a Benzinga Edge Momentum score of 78.36, so watch this company for more evidence of a momentum reversal.
