Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed)
– Data window provided: 2025-12-29 from roughly 13:30 to 19:00 EST (late regular session through after-hours). Only intraday snapshots were provided; no 30-day history was included, so comments on “last 30 days and last 10 days” are inferred from the most recent 30–60 minute structure and relative momentum/volume vs the late-session baseline.

Sector/industry read-through from the basket
– Biotech/Pharma (ABVX, ADEA, ASRT, CYBN, DVAX, GLSI, KYTX, OMER, PRAX, ZURA): Mixed breadth with pockets of momentum. Strength showed in:
– ADEA: persistent higher-highs/higher-lows and a late-session volume surge (biggest 30-min bar of the provided set).
– ZURA: late bounce/reclaim toward 5.48 after intraday dip.
– CYBN: tight consolidation above 8.65 after a higher-low structure; liquid 15:30 bar.
– Weak/indecisive: GLSI faded hard into/after the close; OMER churned/lower; ASRT drifted lower on rising volume in the last bar.
– Semis (MU): Tight after-hours range holding near highs; constructive base, but no expansion signal in the provided window.
– Financials/Asset Mgmt (BLK): Illiquid after-hours prints; not actionable from this tape.
– Industrials/Transportation (AP, RAIL): Clear late-session momentum:
– AP pushed from ~4.85 to ~5.04 and held.
– RAIL climbed all afternoon, then printed 11.77 AH.
– Materials/Mining/Energy (HYMC, METC): Both softened into AH; no reversal signal yet.
– Communications/Optical/Tech hardware (CMTL, LPTH): Mildly constructive, low-liquidity drift higher.
– Auto/EV (PSNY): Weak into close; no bounce signal.
– Specialty/Other (CORD): Consistent grind to 37.00 with higher-lows; constructive for continuation.

Notable patterns
– Late-day continuation setups with volume expansion: ADEA, AP, RAIL, CORD.
– Tight consolidations near session highs (potential for next-day push): CYBN, CORD.
– Profit-taking/fade plays (avoid long bias until reversal): GLSI, HYMC, METC, ASRT, OMER.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to press higher in the near term based on 30-minute structure and late-day volume/momentum:
– ADEA (Biotech) – strongest volume expansion into highs; clear momentum continuation candidate.
– AP (Industrials) – sequence of higher-lows and close near highs.
– RAIL (Industrials/Transport) – steady trend, AH continuation.
– CORD (Tech/Services) – grinding trend with repeated tests of 37.00; constructive.
– CYBN (Biotech) – tight coil above 8.65; set up for range expansion with modest risk.

Strongest bullish signals: ADEA and CORD (volume + structure), followed by AP and RAIL (trend/close), CYBN (tight coil).

Individual Stock Analysis (momentum long setups)
Note: Key levels derive from the provided intraday highs/lows, AH prints, and nearby psychological pivots as proxies for daily supply/demand given the lack of full daily history. Use your daily chart to confirm higher-timeframe confluence.

1) ADEA
– Trend/30-min read: Persistent uptrend with the largest volume arriving 15:30–16:00, close near HOD.
– Support (3):
– 17.15 (late-session bid/mini base)
– 16.96–17.00 (prior support cluster)
– 16.90 (psych level, pre-rally base)
– Resistance (3):
– 17.35 (HOD/supply tap)
– 17.50 (psych round; next obvious supply)
– 17.75 (range-extension target)
– Price targets (1–3 days; using today’s intraday ~0.43 range as ATR proxy):
– T1: 17.50
– T2: 17.75
– T3: 18.00 if momentum persists
– Entry ideas:
– Tier 1 pullback: 17.05–17.15
– Tier 2 add: 16.96–17.00 if tested and defended
– Stop-loss:
– 16.82–16.85 (below support cluster); tighter traders can use 16.95 on a scalp plan
– Expected path:
– Early dip-and-rip toward 17.35–17.50, brief consolidation, then extension if volume confirms.

2) AP
– Trend/30-min read: Higher highs into the close; held above 5.00 late.
– Support (3):
– 5.00 (key round-number pivot)
– 4.92–4.93 (prior consolidation shelf)
– 4.80 (session base)
– Resistance (3):
– 5.12 (session high)
– 5.20 (upper pivot/next supply)
– 5.35 (range-extension objective)
– Price targets (1–3 days; intraday ~0.33 range proxy):
– T1: 5.12
– T2: 5.20
– T3: 5.35
– Entry ideas:
– First pullback buy near 5.00–5.02
– Add near 4.92–4.95 if liquidity holds
– Stop-loss:
– 4.84–4.85 (beneath the session base structure)
– Expected path:
– Test/reclaim 5.12; if it holds as support, a push to 5.20–5.35 is feasible on expanding volume.

3) RAIL
– Trend/30-min read: Steady late-session strength; AH print at 11.77 suggests continuation interest.
– Support (3):
– 11.60 (late-session support)
– 11.50 (round-number backup)
– 11.40 (early-session base)
– Resistance (3):
– 11.77 (AH high/supply)
– 12.00 (major psych/supply)
– 12.20 (range-extension)
– Price targets (1–3 days; intraday ~0.37 range proxy):
– T1: 12.00
– T2: 12.20
– T3: 12.50 on strong tape
– Entry ideas:
– Buy-the-dip 11.55–11.62
– Add on reclaim/hold above 11.77
– Stop-loss:
– 11.38–11.42 (below base)
– Expected path:
– Brief pullback into 11.60s, then attempt at 11.77/12.00; acceptance over 12 opens 12.20+.

4) CORD
– Trend/30-min read: Higher-lows with repeated tags of 37.00; constructive for a continuation breakout.

– T1: 37.20
– T2: 37.75
– T3: 38.00
– Entry ideas:
– Pullback buy 36.55–36.70
– Breakout add on 37.00–37.05 with volume confirmation
– Stop-loss:
– 36.20–36.25 (beneath the shelf and prior HLs)
– Expected path:
– Early check-back to 36.6x, then a 37.00 breakout try; sustained trade over 37.20 invites a trend day.

– Entry ideas:
– Buy dips 8.66–8.70
– Add on a clean break/hold above 8.75
– Stop-loss:
– 8.58–8.60 (beneath coil floor)
– Expected path:
– Coiled open; break of 8.75 leads to a measured move toward 8.90–8.95; watch volume for confirmation.

Additional notes on non-long-biased names from this tape
– Caution/avoid longs until reversal signals: GLSI (heavy fade), HYMC and METC (soft into AH), ASRT (weak close), OMER (churn/lower).
– Neutral: MU (held high base but lacked expansion in this window), BLK (illiquid AH), PSNY (weak), DVAX (flat).

Risk management and execution
– Many prints are after-hours; expect wider spreads and lower liquidity. Prefer confirmation during regular session, especially on breakout adds.
– Size entries around defined levels; honor stops. If volume/market breadth are weak at the open, favor the pullback entries over breakouts.

If you share full daily history or 30-day ATRs, I can refine the levels with true daily supply/demand zones and ATR-based targets.
