Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window reviewed: 2026-01-15, 13:30–19:30)
– Note on scope: The upload contains intraday/after-hours 30–60 minute bars for 2026-01-15, not a full 30-day history. Commentary emphasizes the last session’s supply/demand and how that typically carries 1–3 days forward.
– Semiconductors broadly mixed but large-cap leaders showed after-hours bid: AMD, ASML, KLAC firmed into/after the close, while semi-cap equipment mid-caps saw afternoon distribution (ONTO, NVMI, UCTT, ICHR, FN all faded into the 15:30–16:00 window). That split often precedes a follow-through bounce in leaders before the laggards stabilize.
– Aerospace/Defense steady-to-bid: TDG stair-stepped higher into the close, TDY firm, LMT/ESLT/CW/NOC stable. CACI (gov/IT) broke higher late with expanding volume. This defensive tilt suggests relative strength persists near-term.
– Industrials/Contractors (PWR, EME, STRL, BLD, MYRG, PH, CMI, DE, CAT) were orderly with modest buying into the close; PWR extended in after-hours. The group looks constructive for measured continuation rather than breakouts.
– Precious metals leveraged products (AGQ, GDXU, JNUG, NUGT) chopped with no decisive trend; AGQ had a sharp AH downdraft and partial recovery — expect volatility but no clear edge.
– Biotech had pockets of momentum: GPCR surged AH; BNAI trended higher; many small/mid caps (ORIC, ERAS, FHTX) were mixed/illiquid; treat them as trade-by-trade setups rather than sector-wide theme.
– Consumer/Retail (COST, AZO, CASY, MUSA) mostly quiet/sideways late day — not a leadership pocket for momentum over the next 1–3 sessions.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside follow-through candidates based on late-day demand, trend, and relative strength:
– AMD, ASML, KLAC (semi leaders)
– CACI (gov/IT services)
– TDG (aerospace)
– PWR (infrastructure/contractor)
– GPCR (biotech momentum)
Strongest bullish signals: CACI (late-day range expansion on volume), TDG (orderly stair-step), AMD/ASML/KLAC (leader bid into AH), GPCR (impulse breakout in AH), PWR (AH continuation).
Individual Stock Analysis (levels from 1/15 session ranges and nearby round-number supply/demand on the daily aggregates; targets use nearby resistance and the session’s true-range as a proxy for short-term ATR)
1) AMD
– Supports: 229.50, 228.57 (AH low), 227.80
– Resistances: 231.27 (AH high), 232.50, 234.00
– 30-min read/prediction (2–3 days): Constructive AH uptrend. If 229.5–230 holds on the open, expect a push into 231.3–232.5 first, then a digestion. Loss of 228.6 likely retraces toward 227s before buyers step back in.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 231.5 (T1), 232.8 (T2), 234.5 (T3)
– Entry ideas: Pullback buy 229.2–229.6; momentum add on 231.35–231.50 break with volume.
– Stop-loss: 228.40 (pullback entry), or 230.40 (tighter, if breakout entry).
2) ASML
– Supports: 1333.00, 1330.00, 1326.50
– Resistances: 1341.00 (AH high), 1345.00, 1352.00
– 30-min read/prediction: Tight AH coil above 1333. A hold >1333 favors a test of 1341; break/hold above 1341 opens 1345–1352. Lose 1330 and expect a fade toward 1326–1327 before stabilizing.
– Swing targets: 1341.5 (T1), 1346.5 (T2), 1352–1355 (T3)
– Entry ideas: 1331–1333 reclaim after a dip; or 1341.2–1341.8 breakout with rising tape.
– Stop-loss: 1329.50 (reclaim entry) or 1336.50 (breakout fail-stop).
3) KLAC
– Supports: 1547.70, 1545.00, 1542.00
– Resistances: 1552.00 (AH high), 1556.00, 1562–1565
– 30-min read/prediction: AH strength above the RTH close. Expect early retest of 1547–1548; hold leads to a 1552 attempt. Break and base >1552 targets mid-1560s within 1–3 days.
– Swing targets: 1556 (T1), 1562 (T2), 1570 (T3)
– Entry ideas: Buy retest 1546–1548; add on 1552.2–1553 break.
– Stop-loss: 1541.90 on the swing; tighter 1546 on the retest entry.
4) CACI
– Supports: 623.30, 619.20, 614.80 (session low area)
– Resistances: 627.80–628.00 (HOD zone), 632.00, 638.00
– 30-min read/prediction: Strong late-day expansion/close near highs suggests follow-through on any shallow dip. Expect buy-the-dip toward 621–623, then a grind into 631–632; sustained strength can press 635–638 over 1–3 days.
– Swing targets: 631.5 (T1), 635.0 (T2), 638.0–640.0 (T3)
– Entry ideas: 621–623 pullback bid; or 628.1 reclaim/base and go.
– Stop-loss: 618.00 (beneath structure); tighter 622.00 for pullback entry.
5) TDG
– Supports: 1429.00–1430.00, 1426.00, 1424.97
– Resistances: 1436.00, 1439.37 (session high), 1445.00
– 30-min read/prediction: Stair-step trend into close. Expect early test of 1436; a clean break/hold targets 1439–1445 over 1–3 sessions. Lose 1426 and the trend pauses toward 1425–1423 demand.
– Swing targets: 1439 (T1), 1443–1445 (T2), 1450 (T3)
– Entry ideas: Buy 1429–1431 first pullback; or 1436 break with rising volume.
– Stop-loss: 1424.00; tighter 1428.50 if using the pullback entry.
6) PWR
– Supports: 447.64, 446.35 (session low), 445.00
– Resistances: 451.02 (AH high), 454.00, 456.50–457.00
– 30-min read/prediction: AH push suggests continuation if the open holds >447.6–448.2. Look for a move into 451, brief pause, then a measured grind toward 454 in 1–2 days if broader industrials stay firm.
– Swing targets: 451.0 (T1), 454.0 (T2), 456.5 (T3)
– Entry ideas: 447.9–448.2 pullback buy; add on 451.1 break with confirmation.
– Stop-loss: 446.20 (beneath session structure).
7) GPCR
– Supports: 90.20, 89.80, 88.50
– Resistances: 90.99 (AH close/high), 92.73 (spike high), 95.00
– 30-min read/prediction: Momentum tape with AH breakout. Expect high volatility. Hold >89.8–90.2 and buyers likely retest 91–92.7 quickly; acceptance >91.5 opens a 93.5–95.0 squeeze within 1–3 sessions. Failures back below 89.8 can retrace quickly to 88s.
– Swing targets: 92.0 (T1), 93.5 (T2), 95.0 (T3)
– Entry ideas: Dip-buys 90.3–90.8; momentum add >91.2 with tape strength.
– Stop-loss: 88.90–89.40 depending risk tolerance (volatility-adjusted).
Context notes and risk management
– Semi leaders vs. semi-cap split: Favor AMD/ASML/KLAC on the long side first; wait for stabilization before rotating into ONTO/NVMI/UCTT/ICHR/FN.
– Defense/infra drift higher favors TDG, CACI, PWR continuation setups on shallow dips.
– Biotech momentum (GPCR) is a high-beta trade — size down, widen stops, and be willing to take partials at nearby targets.
– Given we lacked a full 30-day feed, treat these levels as near-term zones derived from 1/15 ranges and round-number S/R; reassess premarket liquidity and any overnight news before execution.
