Stocks are struggling for upside today amid lackluster trading ahead of the New Year's holiday tomorrow.

One name seeing unusual options volume today is Canopy Growth Corp (NYSE:CGC), as a number of weed stocks make strong moves higher. CGC shares were last seen up 8% at $20.41, putting them on pace to close above the 10-day moving average for the first time since Dec. 17. Traders seem to be betting on more short-term gains for the equity, with new positions opening at the weekly 1/3 20- and 20.50-strike call.

One winner to watch today is resTORbio Inc. (NASDAQ:TORC), as the shares rise 3.7% to $1.39 on news of a stake from Morgan Stanley. The security has given back a portion of its earlier gains, though, and is set to close the year down more than 80%.

One of the worst stocks today is Eyegate Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:EYEG), with the shares giving back some of yesterday's monster 31% gain. EYEG stock traded up to $12.89 yesterday for a sixth straight gain, but today the shares are down 18.6% at $9.93, on news of the company's direct offering of $5 million in shares at $10 per share.
