Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-09-29 from 13:30 to 19:30 (regular session late afternoon through after-hours), across the tickers provided.
Note on scope: The feed you provided contains intraday 30-minute bars from a single session (plus after-hours) rather than a full 30-day history. The commentary below emphasizes the most recent 10 intraday bars and current momentum structure; multi-week context is inferred where reasonable but not directly observable from this dataset.
- Technology/Semis: Selective strength. WOLF ripped after-hours from 23.2 to 24.95 on rising volume (17:30–19:30), showing classic squeeze/continuation dynamics. NVDD printed lower and thin; INTW slid steadily into the close. Net take: stock-specific momentum led by WOLF.
- Cannabis: Broadly bid. ACB firmed above 6.25; MSOX and MSOS both stair-stepped higher into the after-hours, closing near session highs (MSOX 9.40). This suggests money rotating back into the group. Tickers: ACB, MSOX, MSOS.
- Biotech/Health: Mixed but with clear outliers. MRUS traded very heavy volume earlier and held tight highs in the after-hours around 93.7–93.75 (bullish coil). Other bios (CRVS, RAPT, QURE) were range-bound to slightly higher; SLNO/AVAV held higher levels. Tickers: MRUS, AVAV, QURE, RAPT.
- Consumer/Discretionary: ULTA trended from ~547.6 to 553.7 and held gains; ETSY was choppy and faded late. LESL slipped. Net: selective strength in quality (ULTA).
- Small-cap momentum: PLTS exploded from 14.0 to 15.63, then pulled back to 14.98 AH; KRRO ranged 41–43 with closes near highs; BKKT choppy. Tickers: PLTS, KRRO, BKKT.
- Energy/Shipping: AMPY/CLCO flat; not a driver today.
- Defensive/inverse ETFs: SPXS, FAZ drifted lower/lackluster—consistent with a mild risk-on tone late day.
Noticeable patterns
- Momentum continuations into AH with volume: WOLF, MRUS, MSOX/MSOS, ULTA. These often carry through in the next 1–2 sessions if early dips are bought.
- Tight high consolidations: MRUS (93.5–93.75), AVAV (~308–309), suggest break-and-go potential on modest gap+go opens.
- Sector tailwinds: Cannabis complex (ACB, MSOX, MSOS) showing synchronized higher closes.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 trading days)
Most likely to move higher (momentum/bullish setups):
- WOLF, MRUS, MSOX, LAC, ULTA, AVAV, PLTS
Strongest bullish signals today:
- WOLF: Powerful AH trend with higher highs/lows every 30-min bar, rising volume.
- MRUS: Heavy-volume day, tight high-level coil; minimal profit-taking AH.
- MSOX: Consistent bid, higher closes across multiple AH bars; sector breadth supportive.
- ULTA: Trend day with hold near highs.
- AVAV: Breakout-then-hold just under 310; supply looks thin above 310.
Individual Stock Analysis and Trade Plans
WOLF
- Daily zones (proxy from today’s structure):
– Supports: 24.00–24.20 (intraday VWAP/pullback zone), 23.73 (18:30 low), 23.20–23.25 (17:30 close/launch point)
– Resistances: 25.00 (psych), 25.50 (projected supply), 26.00 (round number)
- 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Look for a dip-and-rip toward 25.00–25.50. Holding above 24.00 keeps momentum intact.
- Price targets (1–3 day):
– Near-term: 25.00, 25.50
– Range/ATR proxy: Today’s H-L ~3.25; a 0.5x extension targets ~26.60 if 25 reclaims/holds.
- Entry: 24.10–24.25 on a controlled pullback; add on 25.05 breakout with volume.
- Stop-loss: 23.65 (below 23.73 pivot) or tighter at 23.95 if using a breakout add-only approach.
MRUS
- Supports: 93.50 (AH base), 93.00 (round/pullback), 92.75 (15:30 low)
- Resistances: 94.50 (first supply band), 95.00 (psych), 96.50 (measured extension)
- 30-min outlook: Expect a morning test of 93.5–93.7; hold there and it can push through 94.5–95 quickly; failure there likely retests 93.0–92.8 before a second attempt.
- Price targets:
– Near-term: 94.50, 95.00
– Range/ATR proxy: Using ~1.5–2.0 points as a conservative expansion, 96.0–96.5 achievable on momentum follow-through.
- Entry: 93.55–93.70 on first higher low; alt entry through 94.55 with expanding volume.
- Stop-loss: 92.65 (below 92.75 pivot and round 93).
MSOX
- Supports: 9.30 (AH pullback zone), 9.25, 9.20
- Resistances: 9.40 (AH high), 9.50, 9.70 (measured extension/upper band)
- 30-min outlook: Stair-step grind likely; look for consolidation 9.25–9.35 then a push into 9.50+. Cannabis breadth (ACB/MSOS) supports dips being bought.
- Price targets:
– Near-term: 9.50, 9.70
– Range/ATR proxy: Using ~0.35–0.45 on 1–3 day expansion gives 9.80–9.90 stretch if 9.50 holds as support.
- Entry: 9.28–9.33 on intraday dip; add on 9.41–9.43 as breakout confirmation.
- Stop-loss: 9.16 (beneath 9.20 structure).
LAC
- Supports: 5.66–5.69 (cluster), 5.62, 5.58
- Resistances: 5.74 (AH high), 5.80, 6.00
- 30-min outlook: Grind higher favored while above 5.66. A quick reclaim/hold above 5.74 opens 5.80–5.90; a stronger sector bid could magnet 6.00.
- Price targets:
– Near-term: 5.80, 5.90
– Range/ATR proxy: With recent intraday range ~0.16–0.20, a 2–3 day expansion can target 6.00.
ULTA
- Supports: 550.00–550.10 (15:30 base), 547.60 (afternoon pivot), 545.00 (round)
- Resistances: 555.00, 558.00, 562.00
- 30-min outlook: After a trend day, expect a shallow flag 550–553; hold above 550 and a push to 555–558 is likely.
- Price targets:
– Near-term: 555, 558
– Range/ATR proxy: Using a conservative 7–10 points swing window, 562 on a 1–3 day continuation.
- Entry: 550.5–551.5 on dip to prior breakout; alt entry through 555 with volume.
- Stop-loss: 547.2 (below afternoon higher-low).
AVAV
- Supports: 308.00–308.50, 306.60, 305.70
- Resistances: 310.00, 312.00, 315.00
- 30-min outlook: Tight consolidation just under 310. A clean 310 break with volume can push 312 quickly; dips to 308 should find buyers if trend intact.
- Price targets:
– Near-term: 310, 312
– Range/ATR proxy: A 1–3 day push toward 315 on continuation is reasonable.
- Entry: 308.2–308.8 on dip; add on 310.1 breakout with rising volume.
- Stop-loss: 305.4 (below intraday demand).
PLTS
- Supports: 14.77–14.98 (post-spike base), 14.30–14.35, 14.03 (session low/launch)
- Resistances: 15.63 (HOD), 16.00, 16.80 (measured move/extension)
- 30-min outlook: High beta. Look for a morning pullback into 14.9–15.1; if absorbed, a second leg toward 15.6–16.0. Liquidity is thinner; expect volatility.
- Price targets:
– Near-term: 15.60, 16.00
– Range/ATR proxy: Given ~1.6–1.7 intraday range, 16.5–16.8 achievable on a 1x extension within 1–3 days.
- Entry: 14.95–15.10 on higher-low confirmation; add through 15.65.
- Stop-loss: 14.45 (below mid-base) to respect volatility.
Additional notes
- Cannabis breadth check: If MSOX pushes and MSOS/ACB confirm with higher lows, pullbacks are buyable until a decisive break below MSOX 9.20/MSOS 5.30.
- Gap behavior: For WOLF/MRUS, if they gap up, avoid chasing the first 5–10 minutes; look for a 30-min higher low to define risk.
- Liquidity caution: PLTS and some small caps (KRRO, BKKT) can whipsaw; use smaller size and wider but defined stops.
Risk management
- Position sizing should reflect volatility (use smaller size on WOLF/PLTS relative to LAC/MSOX).
- If broader market risk flips (inverse ETFs like SPXS/FAZ start trending up), tighten stops across longs, especially high beta names.
If you can share a full 30-day daily dataset next time, I can refine the daily supply/demand zones and compute proper ATR-based targets per ticker.
