Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window reviewed: 2026-01-12 from 11:30 to 19:30, 30-minute bars including after-hours)
– Note: Only intraday/after-hours for 1/12 was provided. Where “daily zones” are cited, I’m anchoring to today’s extremes and nearby round-number pivots as proxies for near-term supply/demand.
– Biotech/Pharma: Risk-on tone. Strong late-session/after-hours momentum in KRYS (trend up, closed near HOD), CGON (late breakout on volume), ELVN (trend day, held gains), IMSR and INBS (higher lows, steady AH bids). Tickers: KRYS, CGON, ELVN, IMSR, INBS, DAWN, ERAS, ZBIO, VOR.
– Defense/Aero: Broad bid and constructive closes. LHX printed AH highs vs cash, HII ramped AH, KTOS held a tight, rising AH band; AVAV and CW steady to higher. Tickers: LHX, HII, KTOS, AVAV, CW, CACI, LMT.
– Semis/AI/EDA: Range-bound but firm, no obvious distribution into the close/AH. Tickers: ASML, KLAC, SNPS, MTSI, CRDO.
– Housing/Building/Industrials: Mixed digestion. BLD/IBP resilient, URI stable, EXP flat; CVCO held higher. NAIL ETF slightly soft AH; HD and LOW flat → consolidation rather than risk-off. Tickers: BLD, IBP, URI, EXP, CVCO, NAIL, HD, LOW, HOV.
– Energy/Materials: PBF reversed AH to 33.44; BE ticked up late. Metals proxy GDXU steady. Tickers: PBF, BE, GDXU.
– High-beta tech/internet: Mixed. UPB expanded and held gains; MBX continued AH. CVNA flat; APLD faded AH. Tickers: UPB, MBX, CVNA, APLD.
Noticeable patterns
– Late-day breakouts that held into AH (KRYS, CGON, ELVN, UPB, MBX) often lead to 1–3 day continuation when first 30–60 minutes hold prior breakout levels.
– Defense complex shows persistent dip-buying; KTOS basing under 118.6 could set up a clean trigger.
– Energy (PBF) shows reversal attempts; watch for second-day confirmation above AH highs.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Likely to move higher: KRYS, CGON, ELVN, UPB, MBX, IMSR, KTUP. Secondary watch: KTOS, PBF.
– Strongest bullish signals: KRYS (trend close at highs on expanding volume); CGON (late breakout/close near highs); MBX (AH continuation above cash close).
Individual Stock Analysis (focus: names most likely to rise in 1–3 days)
KRYS
– Bias: Bullish continuation if 270 holds early.
– Key supports (near-term “daily” zones): 270.00; 268.50; 266.20 (today’s intraday low).
– Key resistances: 274.40 (HOD); 276.00; 280.00.
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Early pullback into 270–271 that holds → retest 274.4; break/hold above 274.4 opens 276 then 280. Failure of 270 likely tests 268.5 before buyers step back in.
– Price targets (1–3 day): 276; 280; stretch 284–285 (≈1–1.5x today’s range).
– Entries: 270–271 pullback buy; or 274.60 breakout-and-hold (>15–30 min) with a retest.
– Stop-loss: 268.40 (tight); or 265.90 (beneath session demand).
–
CGON
– Bias: Bullish; late breakout held.
– Supports: 53.00; 52.39; 52.05.
– Resistances: 53.93 (HOD); 54.50; 55.00.
– 30-min outlook: Hold >53.00 → grind into 53.93; sustained hold above 54 on 30-min closes targets 54.5–55. A dip to 52.4–52.6 that reclaims 53 is buyable.
– Targets: 54.40; 55.00; stretch 55.60–55.80.
– Entries: 53.05–53.20 on pullback with higher-low; or through 53.95–54.05 on expansion with volume.
– Stop-loss: 52.70 (tight); or 52.00 (structure).
–
ELVN
– Bias: Bullish; trend day, held AH.
– Supports: 24.80; 24.45; 24.14.
– Resistances: 25.11 (HOD); 25.50; 26.00.
– 30-min outlook: Above 24.80, expect consolidation then push through 25.11; holding >25 shifts path to 25.5 then 26 over 1–3 days. Lose 24.45 and momentum cools.
– Targets: 25.50; 25.90–26.00; stretch 26.40.
– Entries: 24.85–24.95 higher-low; or 25.15 breakout with a retest hold.
– Stop-loss: 24.38 (below demand); or tighter 24.60 if entering breakout.
–
UPB
– Bias: Bullish; clean range expansion that held.
– Supports: 31.28; 31.00; 30.65–30.88 zone.
– Resistances: 31.93 (HOD); 32.50; 33.00.
– 30-min outlook: Maintain >31.20–31.30 → retest 31.93; break/hold above 32 opens 32.5 then 33 in 1–3 days. A shakeout to 31.00 that reclaims 31.30 is constructive.
– Targets: 32.20; 32.80; stretch 33.20.
– Entries: 31.25–31.40 on higher-low; or 32.00 break/hold with intraday retest.
– Stop-loss: 30.85 (beneath demand shelf).
–
MBX
– Bias: Bullish; AH continuation suggests follow-through if first hour holds.
– Supports: 36.47; 36.00; 35.88.
– Resistances: 37.70 (AH high); 38.50; 39.00.
– 30-min outlook: Opening holds >36.9–37.1 → test 37.70; sustained trade >37.70 targets 38.20–38.80 within 1–2 days. Losing 36.47 likely forces a base first.
– Targets: 38.20; 38.80; stretch 39.50.
– Entries: 36.90–37.05 higher-low; or 37.75 breakout-and-retest.
– Stop-loss: 36.35 (tight); or 35.85 (under day low).
–
IMSR
– Bias: Bullish; series of higher highs/lows AH.
– Supports: 11.78; 11.60; 11.32.
– Resistances: 11.95; 12.10; 12.50.
– 30-min outlook: Hold >11.78 → grind to 11.95; break/close above 11.95 sets 12.10 then 12.50 over 1–3 days. A dip to 11.60 that’s absorbed is a buyable reset.
– Targets: 12.00; 12.20; stretch 12.50.
– Entries: 11.78–11.85 on higher-low; or 11.98–12.02 breakout and intraday retest.
– Stop-loss: 11.58 (tight); or 11.28 (beneath session low).
–
KTUP
– Bias: Bullish; pushed to fresh AH highs.
– Supports: 53.00; 52.50; 52.20.
– Resistances: 54.19 (AH high); 54.50; 55.00.
– 30-min outlook: Maintain >53 → retest 54.19; hold >54 opens 54.5 then 55. A shakeout to 52.5 that reclaims 53 preserves the setup.
– Targets: 54.50; 55.00; stretch 55.60.
– Entries: 53.05–53.25 higher-low; or 54.20–54.30 breakout-and-hold.
– Stop-loss: 52.40 (beneath demand shelf).
–
Secondary watch (not primary, but constructive)
KTOS
– Supports: 118.00; 117.60; 117.30.
– Resistances: 118.60; 119.50; 120.00.
– Plan: Hold >118 → 118.6 trigger; above 118.6 targets 119.5–120. Stops: <117.40.
–
PBF
– Supports: 32.79; 32.50; 32.33.
– Resistances: 33.44; 33.80; 34.50.
– Plan: Bid holds >32.8 → 33.44 test; above it targets 33.8–34.1. Stops: <32.45.

Risk management notes
– Let first 30–60 minutes confirm: you want prior breakout levels to hold on a 30-minute closing basis with volume.
– Scale out at nearby targets and trail stops below higher lows to protect gains.
– Given the limited historical context provided, treat today’s extremes as near-term supply/demand; adjust levels if the opening print gaps beyond them.
