Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Analysis window (EST): 2026-01-29 14:00 to 19:30 (latest prints in your dataset). Commentary below focuses on the most recent 10 sessions’ momentum but is anchored by the prevailing 1-month sector rotations; specific intraday cues come from the 30-minute tape you provided for 1/29.
- Precious metals and miners led risk-on flows:
- Silver complex had a clean momentum expansion late session: SLV pushed 104.8 → 107.37 before a modest cool-off; AGQ (2x silver) ripped 394 → 413.3 on surging volume; SIVR advanced, and GDXU (3x gold miners) ramped 467 → 479.6 with strong closes. GLD also bid to the 500 handle intraday. This confirms multi-week accumulation reasserting itself in the last 10 days, with breadth across spot (GLD/SLV/SIVR), leverage (AGQ, GDXU), and selective miners. Tickers referenced: SLV, AGQ, SIVR, GLD, GDXU, ASM.
- Copper/industrial metals bid:
- SCCO spiked to 213.01 then held 211s; ERO stair-stepped 38.19 → 39.00 into the close. That’s consistent with the recent cross-commodity bid and a 10-day improvement in cyclical metals. Tickers: SCCO, ERO.
- Semiconductors mixed but memory/storage outperformed:
- Memory/storage names showed better momentum and dip-bids: MU popped to 452.8 then digested in high 440s; WDC tested 283.9 and held high 270s; STX held 463–465 supply. In contrast, fab equipment was calmer-to-softer into the evening (AMAT, ASML, KLAC, LRCX) while still within broader uptrends on the month. Tickers: MU, WDC, STX, AMAT, ASML, KLAC, LRCX, TXN, NVMI, FN, TER, MKSI, MPWR.
- Industrials/Electrification steady-to-strong:
- TT broke higher into the close (431). POWL printed fresh after-hours highs (460.9). ETN, EME, FIX steady/firm with lighter prints, consistent with their 1-month leadership. Tickers: TT, POWL, ETN, EME, FIX.
- Defense flat: LMT, NOC largely unchanged after-hours.
- Energy/macro ETFs: BOIL spiked 33.06 then faded—still choppy; GTE range-bound.
- Mega-cap tech: META slipped (733 → 728) late—momentum waned into the bell.
- High-beta small/micro caps showed extreme volatility/illiquidity (BNAI, ANL, TCGL) — not ideal for structured 1–3 day swings without very small sizing.
Notable 10-day patterns
– Metals: Higher-highs/higher-lows structure re-accelerating, with expanding range and volume today—classic continuation backdrop for 1–3 day swing extensions (SLV, AGQ, GDXU).
– Semis bifurcation: Memory/storage bid on dips (MU, WDC, STX) while front-end equipment digests (AMAT/ASML/KLAC/LRCX)—rotation within the group favors the former near term.
– Industrial electrification theme intact (TT, POWL) with continued buy-the-dip behavior.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to move higher (bullish bias):
– AGQ, SLV (silver momentum continuation)
– GDXU (gold miners leveraged continuation if metals hold)
– SCCO (copper pop with constructive close)
– TT (fresh breakout close)
– POWL (strong after-hours breakout continuation setup)
– MU, WDC (memory/storage momentum with buyable dips)
Stronger bullish signals today: AGQ, SLV, GDXU, POWL, TT
Individual Stock Analysis
Notes for all tickers below:
– Key support/resistance are derived from recent daily supply/demand zones and today’s 30-minute pivots.
– Targets reflect nearby resistance confluence and a 1–3 day move approximating today’s realized range.
– Use tiered entries; respect liquidity and slippage, especially on leveraged ETFs.
1) AGQ (2x Silver)
– Current context: Momentum expansion 394 → 413.3, strong volume, higher close.
– Support (daily/near-term): 406.8–407.0; 401.0; 395.5–396.0
– Resistance: 410.0; 413.3 (today’s high); 418.0–420.0 (projected next supply if 413 breaks)
– 30-min playbook (2–3 days):
– Base above 406.8 → push to 413.3; break/hold 413.3 opens 418–420.
– Fail below 406.8 → test 401; strong dip-buy zone for continuation.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 413.3 → 418.0 → 425–428
– Entries: 406.8–407.5 retest; or 401–402 flush-and-hold.
– Stop-loss: Below 401 (tight) or below 395.5 (looser swing).
2) SLV
– Current context: Range expansion 104.8 → 107.37; strong breadth in silver complex.
– Support: 106.0–106.1; 105.6; 105.0–104.8
– Resistance: 106.75; 107.37; 108.0–108.5
– 30-min playbook:
– Hold 106.0 → retest 107.37; through that, momentum continuation toward 108+.
– Lose 106.0 → fade to 105.0–105.6 demand; look for reclaim pattern.
– Swing targets: 107.4 → 108.0 → 109.0
– Entries: 106.0–106.2 hold; or 105.2–105.6 wick reclaim.
– Stop-loss: Below 105.0 (tight) or 104.7 (room for noise).
3) GDXU (3x Gold Miners)
– Current context: 467 → 479.6 ramp; closed strong near highs.
– Support: 473–474; 468; 466
– Resistance: 479.6; 480.0–482.0; 486 (projected)
– 30-min playbook:
– Above 474 → grind to 479.6–482; clean break targets mid-480s.
– Below 474 → probe 468–466 buyer response; reclaim needed for continuation.
– Swing targets: 479.6 → 485–486 → 492
– Entries: 473–474 retest; 468–469 deep dip if metals pull back.
– Stop-loss: Below 468 (aggressive) or 466 (conservative).
4) SCCO
– Current context: Pop to 213.01, higher close than session open; copper bid continues.
– Support: 210.0–210.5 (prior pivot); 209.5; 208.1–208.5
– Resistance: 213.01; 214.0; 216.0
– 30-min playbook:
– Hold 210–211 → retest 213; over 213 opens 214–216.
– Lose 210 → test 208s; need quick reclaim for long continuation.
– Swing targets: 213.0 → 214.5 → 216.0
– Entries: 210.3–211.0 hold; add on 213.1 breakout with tight risk.
– Stop-loss: Below 209.5 initial; below 208.1 wider.
5) POWL
– Current context: Strong after-hours breakout to 460.9; aligns with 1-month industrial strength.
– Support: 456.9–457.6; 455.0; 452.0–452.7
– Resistance: 461.0; 465.0; 470.0–472.0
– 30-min playbook:
– Hold 457–458 → continuation through 461 toward 465; sustained strength can press 470+.
– Fail 457 → watch 455/452 for demand; must reclaim 457 for momentum to persist.
– Swing targets: 465 → 470–472 → 478
– Entries: 457–458 pullback hold; or 461 breakout-and-backtest.
– Stop-loss: Below 455 (tight) or 452 (structure).
6) TT
– Current context: Breakout close at 431 after intraday build; industrial leadership intact.
– Support: 426.0–426.5; 423.5; 422.0
– Resistance: 431.0; 435.0; 438.0–440.0
– 30-min playbook:
– Above 426.5 → work 431 → 435; trend continuation if buyers defend VWAP on dips.
– Lose 426 → probe 423–422; reclaim needed for long bias.
– Swing targets: 435 → 438.5 → 442
– Entries: 426.5–427.5 retest; or momentum add over 431 with backtest.
– Stop-loss: Below 423.5 (tight) or 422 (conservative).

– Resistance: 452.5; 455.0; 458.0–460.0
– 30-min playbook:
– Hold 448–449 → 452.5 retest; break/hold targets 455 then 458.

– Swing targets: 452.5 → 455.5 → 458–460
– Entries: 448.5–449.5 on hold; or 452.7 breakout/backtest.
– Stop-loss: Below 446 (tight) or 444.5 (room).
8) WDC
– Current context: Tested 283.9; closed 278s with bids absorbing dips—constructive if 278 holds.
– Support: 278.0; 276.5; 275.5
– Resistance: 280.7; 282.8; 284.8–286.0
– 30-min playbook:
– Above 278 → push 280.7; through 281–283 opens 284–286.
– Lose 278 → test 276.5; need higher low and reclaim for continuation.
– Swing targets: 280.7 → 282.8 → 284.8–286.0
– Entries: 276.8–278.2 hold; or 280.8 breakout/backtest.
– Stop-loss: Below 276.5 (tight) or 275.5 (structure).
Additional notes and risk management
– Leverage caution: AGQ and GDXU magnify moves; size down and widen stops appropriately.
– Liquidity: Small/micro-caps (e.g., TCGL, ANL, BNAI) exhibited halt-risk and extreme slippage—avoid unless using very small, tactical probes.
– Scenario planning for metals: If overnight futures retrace, prefer buying first supports (AGQ/SLV/GDXU) on reclaim rather than chasing gaps.
– Semis rotation: If equipment names (AMAT/ASML/KLAC/LRCX) firm up, that likely adds fuel to MU/WDC/STX upside. If they fade, keep targets conservative and trail stops tighter on memory/storage.
This game plan focuses on momentum continuation with defined levels, using 30-minute structure for timing and daily zones for risk.
