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.
  • finviz dynamic chart for  WOLF

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.

  • Entry: 5.66–5.69 on dip; add through 5.75–5.76 breakout.
  • Stop-loss: 5.57 (below demand band).
  • finviz dynamic chart for  LAC

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).
  • finviz dynamic chart for  ULTA

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).
  • finviz dynamic chart for  AVAV

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.
  • finviz dynamic chart for  PLTS

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.
