Analysis window (EST): 2026-01-02 13:30 to 19:00. Note: The uploaded data covers only this partial intraday window (not full 30 days). Commentary below emphasizes this 30–minute action and visible supply/demand zones; longer-term levels would be refined with full daily history.
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis:
– Semiconductors (ASML, MU, TSM): Broad, steady bid into the close/after-hours. MU pushed from 317.0s to 319s with healthy prints, TSM stair-stepped 319.6→320.3 with a test of 320.9, and ASML ticked higher AH. This looks like continuation momentum with dips being bought late day.
– Industrials/Aerospace (URI, TDG, FIX, FTAI): Strong late-day strength and volume. URI finished on the highs (846.99) with an outsized 15:30 bar; FTAI had expanding volume and a clean close, then printed 211.40 AH; FIX and TDG both grinded higher. Pattern: institutional accumulation into the weekend.
– Biotech/Pharma (AXSM, PEPG, ZURA, ACET, APVO, ASRT, LPCN, CODX): Mixed breadth but several momentum standouts. AXSM trended all session on rising volume, closing near HOD; PEPG showed a high-volume 15:30 surge and followed with a 7.41 AH print; ZURA showed steady accumulation and stepped up AH; others (APVO, LPCN) faded late.
– Communications/IoT/Networking (ONDS, LPTH): ONDS showed rising tape and an AH push to 11.03 on notable volume; LPTH crept higher AH. These look like early-stage continuation setups if bids persist above round numbers.
– Small/Micro-cap momentum (GRDX, NBY, RVYL, PAVM): Positive tilts with higher lows and late-day upticks; GRDX and RVYL showed orderly ramps; PAVM ticked up AH.
– Software (ONTF): Exceptionally tight 7.96–8.00 shelf—classic coil under a round number; a trigger over 8.00 could open a quick breakout.
– Materials/ETFs (PLTZ): Drifted lower into the close—no bid.
– China Internet (BIDU): Flat/sideways AH—no signal.
Noticeable patterns:
– Broad risk-on in semis (MU, TSM, ASML) and capital goods/industrial (URI, FTAI, TDG, FIX).
– Late-day push with after-hours follow-through on several names (FTAI, ONDS, PEPG, ZURA), which often precedes 1–3 day momentum continuation.
– Several small caps coiling just below round-number pivots (ONTF ~8, ONDS ~11).
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days):
Likely to rise (momentum continuation candidates):
– MU, TSM (semis strength; steady higher closes/AH).
– AXSM (strong trend day, volume expansion).
– URI (closed on highs with strong 15:30 bar).
– FTAI (expanding volume, AH print through day’s range).
– ONDS (round-number pivot with AH strength).
– PEPG (high-volume surge and AH continuation).
Strongest bullish signals: AXSM, MU, URI, FTAI.
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing plans)
Note: Support/resistance derived from the 30-minute structure and nearby round numbers; targets align with those levels and ~recent intraday range.
1) MU
– Supports: 318.59; 317.70; 317.02.
– Resistances: 319.41; 320.00; 321.00.
– 30-min outlook: Holding above 318.6 favors a push through 319.41 → 320. If 319.4 converts to support, look for 321 follow-through. Lose 318.6 and a quick tag of 317.7/317.0 is likely.
– 1–3 day targets: 319.90 → 321.00 → 322.50.
– Entry: Pullback 318.60–318.90 or breakout ≥319.45 after a tight flag.
– Stop: 317.40 (beneath S2); tighter traders can use 318.20 on a breakout add.
2) TSM
– Supports: 320.12; 319.76; 319.63.
– Resistances: 320.70; 320.91; 322.00.
– 30-min outlook: Above 320.1, look for a retest of 320.7/320.9 and potential trend extension. Below 319.6 risks a quick liquidity sweep before buyers reassert.
– 1–3 day targets: 321.50 → 322.50 → 324.00.
– Entry: Pullback 320.10–320.20; alt: break ≥320.92 with volume.
– Stop: 319.50 (below S3 and session shelf).
3) AXSM
– Supports: 177.74; 176.99; 176.52.
– Resistances: 178.88 (HOD); 179.50; 180.00.
– 30-min outlook: Strong trend day—consolidation over 178.0 should resolve higher. Hold 177.7 and a clean break over 178.9 targets 179.5–180. A loss of 176.9 likely retests 176.5 before buyers try again.
– 1–3 day targets: 179.50 → 180.50 → 182.00.
– Entry: 177.70–178.00 pullback or break ≥178.90 after a two-bar pause.
– Stop: 176.40 (below S3/LOD zone).
4) URI
– Supports: 845.06; 844.47; 842.85.
– Resistances: 847.15; 850.00; 853.00–855.00 zone.
– 30-min outlook: Closing on HOD with strong late bar—continuation favored if 845–846 holds. Through 847.2 opens a fast test of 850; acceptance above 850 sets up 853–855.
– 1–3 day targets: 849.50 → 852.50 → 856.00.
– Entry: 845.0–845.8 retest; add on break ≥847.20 with rising volume.
– Stop: 842.40 (beneath S3/wick shelf).
5) FTAI
– Supports: 209.42; 208.78; 208.21.
– Resistances: 210.39–210.62; 211.40; 212.50.
– 30-min outlook: Buyers defended every dip; AH print at 211.40 signals demand. Above 210.6, expect 211.4 → 212.5. Lose 208.8 and momentum pauses into 208.2.
– 1–3 day targets: 211.40 → 212.50 → 214.00.
– Entry: 209.40–209.80 higher-low retest or reclaim ≥210.60.
– Stop: 208.10 (below S3).
6) ONDS
– Supports: 10.98; 10.97; 10.96.
– Resistances: 11.03; 11.10; 11.25.
– 30-min outlook: Coiling under 11 with AH push to 11.03 on volume—classic round-number pivot. Hold 10.97–10.99 and break 11.03 for a squeeze toward 11.10/11.25.
– 1–3 day targets: 11.10 → 11.25 → 11.50.
– Entry: 10.98–10.99 bid with tight risk, or break ≥11.04.
– Stop: 10.90 (below shelf).
7) PEPG
– Supports: 7.15; 7.13; 7.10.
– Resistances: 7.31; 7.41 (AH); 7.50.
– 30-min outlook: Big 15:30 volume burst with AH continuation—momentum setup. Above 7.31, a push to 7.41/7.50 is likely; failure back below 7.13 would likely reset.
– 1–3 day targets: 7.41 → 7.50 → 7.75.
– Entry: 7.16–7.20 higher-low retest; alt: break ≥7.32 with volume confirmation.
– Stop: 7.05 (beneath base).
Additional quick notes on watchlist behavior:
– ASML, TDG, FIX: constructive higher closes; continuation possible but thinner AH liquidity—prefer pullback entries near intraday supports.
– ZURA: steady accumulation; over 5.73 can extend toward 5.90–6.10 with risk defined below 5.55.
– ONTF: ultra-tight 7.96–8.00 shelf; trigger ≥8.00 with stops 7.93–7.95; targets 8.10/8.25.
Risk management: For all setups, size so that stops reflect nearby structural levels; momentum continuation tends to move ~one recent intraday range over 1–3 days when breadth is supportive (as it appeared in semis/industrials today).
