Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-10-24 from 13:30 to 19:30. Note: Only intraday 30-minute prints for this single session were provided; 30-day context isn’t available here, so the reads below emphasize today’s momentum and late-day flows as a short-term proxy.
- Tech/software and semis were broadly mixed-to-soft into the 15:30 ET hour with some late stabilizing:
- Weak/choppy: HUBS, INTU, MPWR, PI, KLAC drifted lower into 15:30 before stabilizing; VGT ETF slipped intraday to 773.68 then reclaimed 776.24 late.
- Stable/firm: ADBE, NOW, META, IBM traded tightly post-close; little directional signal.
- Standouts within tech: VICR firmed and printed a high 91.65 after regular hours; NUAI reversed a selloff and bid to 5.60 into the close; GNLX squeezed late to 8.22.
- Aerospace/Defense outperformed on relative strength and higher closes: AVAV climbed and held 382; CW, TDG, AXON held bids; RTX flat. VSEC firmed into 183.29.
- Energy/services mixed: OIH faded to 276.53, but select services/equipment printed strength: CLB trended higher to 16.91; GEOS pushed to 26.00; PTEN flat.
- Biotech/healthcare uneven: CELC and WST eased; KOD pushed up and held 18.69; GNLX broke higher late; HCA sold into the close.
- Financials stable: GS and FCNCA mostly rangebound with modest bids late; RBC firm.
Noticeable intraday patterns
– Late-day strength and after-hours continuation in selective momentum names (NUAI, GNLX, VICR, AVAV, GEOS, CLB, KOD, VSEC).
– 15:30 ET sell programs hit many large caps (HUBS, INTU, MPWR, PI), but selective small/mid-cap momentum carried through post-close.
– Energy/services divergence: broad ETF OIH weak while stock-pickers found strength in CLB, GEOS.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to continue higher based on today’s 30-minute momentum, reclaim patterns, and late-day demand:
– NUAI, GNLX, VICR, AVAV, CLB, KOD, VSEC, GEOS
Strongest bullish signals: NUAI (reclaim with rising late volume), GNLX (late breakout continuation), VICR (after-hours breakout above R), AVAV (trend up all session), GEOS (late high-of-day).
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Price targets use today’s intraday range as a proxy for near-term ATR. Entries are near demand; stops tucked below logical levels.
1) NUAI
– Rationale: Reclaimed lows (5.30) and pushed to 5.60–5.70 late on rising volume – constructive reversal.
– Support: 5.46 (VWAP/pullback zone), 5.40, 5.30 (session low).
– Resistance: 5.60, 5.70 (late high), 5.90.
– Next 2–3 day view: Prefer long on dips holding 5.40–5.46; a clean move over 5.70 opens 5.90–6.00.
– 1–3 day targets: 5.70, 5.90, 6.00.
– Entry: 5.46–5.50 on pullback or 5.71–5.74 breakout retest.
– Stop: 5.38 (tighter) or 5.28 (below session low).
–
2) GNLX
– Rationale: Late surge from 7.80 base to 8.22 AH – signs of momentum ignition.
– Support: 7.80 (base), 7.71 (session low cluster), 7.60 (psych).
– Resistance: 8.09, 8.22 (AH high), 8.40.
– Next 2–3 day view: Hold above 7.80 favors continuation; over 8.22 can trend toward 8.40–8.55.

3) VICR
– Rationale: Tight intraday action then AH pop to 91.65 – potential continuation from a higher-low structure.
– Support: 90.00–90.20, 89.88, 89.76 (session low).
– Resistance: 90.77, 91.65 (AH high), 92.50.

Notes and risk management
– The intraday ranges used here approximate near-term ATR for 1–3 day swings given limited history provided.
– If the broader tech tape (VGT) weakens again, favor the relative-strength pockets (AVAV, VSEC, GEOS, CLB) and keep tighter stops on software/semis.
– Always size positions with volatility in mind; reevaluate if supports break on expanding volume.
