After a brutal two days of action — where the $Nasdaq Composite Index(.IXIC.US)$ fell 757 points or almost 5% — stocks stabilized a bit on Thursday. With that in mind, let's look at a few top stock trades going into Friday.
Top stock trades for today No. 1: Meta Platforms
Facebook — sorry,  $Meta Platforms(FB.US)$ — enjoyed some strong gains yesterday, but it's being rejected by a cluster of key moving averages.

If it can take out yesterday's high, that will put Meta back above the 21-day, 50-day and 200-day moving averages. If it can't regain these levels, the stock remains vulnerable. 
Back above $340 could put last month's high in play near $352. That's also where Meta finds the 61.8% retracement of the current range.
On the downside, however, a break of $322 could open the door to more selling pressure.
Top stock trades for today No. 2: SoFi Technologies
I have liked  $SoFi Technologies(SOFI.US)$ stock in the past and the share price has now melted back below the $15 area.

In fact, SoFi looked just below the prior $13.56 level, as well as the $13.14 level — the latter being last year's low. In any regard, the stock is bouncing nicely from these marks and is doing so with some bullish divergence on the RSI.
On the upside, though, bulls need to see SoFi reclaim the 10-day and 21-day moving averages to have a sustained bounce. If it can do that and clear $15, then the $16.50 level is in play, followed by the December high up at $17.91 and/or the 200-day and 50-day moving averages.
Top stock trades for today No. 3: Walgreens Boots Alliance
$Walgreens Boots Alliance(WBA.US)$ shares pulled back on Thursday after reporting earnings. However, the stock had buyers down at the 10-day moving average and near $52.50.

Bouncing now, let's see if the stock can continue to hold the 10-day. If it can, shares may push back up toward the pre-earnings levels just shy of $55.
Above this week's high and the $56 to $57 area is on deck.
Top trades for today No. 4: Beyond Meat
$Beyond Meat(BYND.US)$ has been an interesting trade. Shares were under strong pressure coming into November, trading in a painful downward channel.

Once the company reported earnings though, the stock began trading even worse, breaking below channel support and watching that trend become resistance.
Even on Wednesday, the stock rallied as much as 9.3% on positive news, but finished lower by 3%. That's an 11.5% fade from the session high! It put BYND stock at a new 52-week low, too.
In any regard, the stock jumped almost 15% on a mixed day in the markets and reclaiming prior channel support in the process, along with the 10-day and 21-day moving averages. If it can continue higher, let's see if we can get a test of the declining 50-day moving average. Above that and prior channel resistance is in play.
On the downside, though, I don't want to see Beyond Meat stock lose the $62 level. If it does, the low near $58 is back on the table.
