In the fast-paced world of penny stocks, few voices carry as much weight as Moon Market (@MoonMarket_ on X), a trader with over 117,000 followers known for spotting high-potential plays. This week, from October 11 to October 17, 2025, Moon Market focused on a handful of volatile tickers, emphasizing breakout opportunities, news-driven surges, and bounce setups. Drawing from his posts, we’ve compiled the top stocks he discussed, along with key insights into their movements and catalysts. These are high-risk penny stocks, as Moon Market himself warns—trading involves significant risk.
Here’s a rundown of the standout picks, ranked by the frequency and enthusiasm in his mentions:
1. $RANI (Rani Therapeutics Holdings)
Moon Market went all-in on $RANI this Friday, October 17, posting multiple times about its massive news. He called it potentially “the biggest news we’ve had in a while,” highlighting a collaboration worth up to $1.085 billion with Chugai Pharmaceutical for therapeutics in rare diseases and immunology, plus an oversubscribed $60.3 million financing. Shares doubled in premarket trading, reflecting the hype. With a sub-$1 price point at the time, Moon Market saw it as a prime runner, asking, “$RANI $1b news what more can we ask for?” This biotech play dominated his feed, signaling strong conviction in its upside potential.
2. $IVF (INVO Fertility, Inc.)
On Thursday, October 16, $IVF was Moon Market’s obsession, with repeated posts about its potential to “rip hard” amid White House and Trump proposals to make in vitro fertilization (IVF) more accessible. He noted insane volume and suggested bounce trades, even admitting he cut his position later. The stock surged 85% to close at $1.40, driven by news of Merck KGaA cutting IVF drug prices by 84% in exchange for tariff protections. Moon Market also flagged related plays like $FEMY and $NIVF, broadening the fertility theme. If policy momentum builds, this could remain a hot sector.
3. $COOT (Australian Oilseeds Holdings Limited)
Moon Market referenced his earlier call on $COOT from Tuesday, October 14, but amplified it mid-week as the stock exploded from under $1 to nearly $5—a 500% move. He posted about its premarket rip on October 16, noting shorts getting squeezed. The stock made headlines for surging over 200% premarket on October 15, though specific catalysts weren’t detailed in his updates—likely tied to broader market sentiment in oilseeds and commodities. Moon Market used this as a teaser for his Patreon group, emphasizing the “sky is basically the limit.” It’s a classic penny stock squeeze story.
4. $AUUD (Auddia Inc.)
Thursday, October 16, saw Moon Market spotlight $AUUD’s shift to B2B AI music discovery ahead of a proposed business combination, calling out its AI/crypto ties and high volume. He celebrated a “bangggg” move as it popped. News confirmed a surge of 13.66% on October 16 following the restructuring announcement, with an upcoming webcast at the LD Micro Conference on October 21. This tech pivot positions $AUUD as a speculative bet in AI and media.
5. $CREV (Carbon Revolution Public Limited Company)
Early Friday, October 17, Moon Market eyed $CREV as a “bounce zone” with 13 million volume and a tiny 1.81 million float, no dilution noted. The carbon fiber wheel maker didn’t have major October news, but its stock dipped 4.49% on October 16 to $3.73, potentially setting up for a rebound. Moon Market’s focus here was on technicals, making it a watch for short-term traders.
