Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range reviewed: 2026-01-06 13:00 to 19:30)
Note: The upload contains intraday/after-hours prints for one session, not full 30 trading days. Commentary below focuses on relative strength/weakness across your universe today, with emphasis on the most recent hours (a proxy for the “last 10 days” momentum in this dataset).
- Semiconductors: Broadly firm into the close/after-hours. SMH/SOXX/SOXL held bids and ticked higher late. Leaders TSM (~327.3→328.4), MU (~343.6 low bought to ~345.7 then held ~345), WDC (~219.1→220.7), and AEHR (24.48→~25 test) showed continuation characteristics. Equipment names (AMAT, ASML, KLAC, LRCX, TER), metrology/inspection (ONTO, CAMT, NVMI) were steady to slightly higher with modest volumes; no risk-off tell.
- Precious metals: Silver leveraged AGQ had the clearest surge: big 18:00 ET volume spike 204.6→211.4, then shallow pullback 209–210—bullish character. Gold miners levered (GDXU, JNUG, NUGT) mixed-to-flat; Platinum (PPLT) popped to 224.5 then retraced—silver outperformed in this tape.
- Crypto-linked ETNs: ETHU/ETHT stair-stepped up into 18:30–19:00 before a mild fade (ETHU high ~67.28 then 66.50). XRP proxies (XRPT, XRP, UXRP, XXRP, etc.) pushed higher into the evening. Net: risk appetite intact; shallow dips getting bought.
- Uranium/nuclear: Steady bid across UUUU (18.33–18.50 range, closing firm), LEU (~314.6→316), SMR (~19.24→19.58), and OKLO (~95, tight consolidation). Theme remains supported; pullbacks attracting demand.
- Defense/aero: XAR marginally up; GD, NOC, HII, LMT, AVAV were stable to slightly higher—defensive bid present without crowding.
- Industrials: Mixed. CAT and URI had late-day strength then flattened after-hours. Machinery/flow control (PH, CW, EME, CMI) mostly range-bound.
- Consumer/retail: BURL, RH, WING faded in the final hour—supply appeared at intraday highs; not leading today.
- Space/alt-tech small/mid caps: RKLB reclaimed and held 84s; MNTS ramped 9.8→10.4 before a controlled pullback; SPIR/ASTS/OUST/RCAT had selective pockets of strength.
Notable patterns today
– Continuation setups: AGQ (volume-backed thrust, shallow retrace), AEHR (tight coil under 25), TSM (orderly grind up), WDC/MU (bids defended pullbacks).
– Theme strength: Semis and uranium/nuclear stayed bid; crypto proxies showed risk-on. Metals leadership skewed to silver over gold.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside candidates based on today’s momentum/structure:
– AGQ, AEHR, TSM, WDC, SMR, UUUU
Strongest bullish signals: AGQ (decisive high-volume thrust and tight consolidation), AEHR (coiling just below round-number resistance), TSM (steady accumulation), WDC (higher-low structure with closes near session highs).
Individual Stock Analysis
Method note: Without 30-day data, I’m using today’s high/low as a proxy for recent ATR and today’s intraday zones for near-term daily S/R. Targets scale off that proxy.
1) AGQ (2x Silver)
– Daily support: 209.10–209.20; 207.50; 204.50
– Daily resistance: 210.50; 211.40; 212.50–213.00
– 30-min path view (2–3 days): Prefer an early dip toward 209.2–209.6 that holds, then a push through 210.5. A firm break/hold over 210.5–211.4 should open 213.0 and potentially 215–216 if silver continues to lead.
– ATR proxy: ~6.9 (211.4–204.5).
– Price targets (1–3 days): 211.4 (PT1), 213.0 (PT2 ~0.25–0.4 ATR), 215.5–216.7 (PT3 ~1 ATR stretch).
– Entries:
– Buy-the-dip: 209.2–209.6 with confirmation.
– Breakout: Add/enter on 210.6–211.0 reclaim and hold.
– Stop: 207.9 (tight), or swing stop under 206.9; invalidation below 204.3.
2) AEHR
– Daily support: 24.56; 24.48; 24.30
– Daily resistance: 24.89; 25.00; 25.50–25.90
– 30-min path view (2–3 days): A brief pullback into 24.55–24.70 that gets bought, then a 25.00 breakout attempt. Sustained trade above 25.00 favors a drift to 25.5–25.9.
– ATR proxy: ~0.44 (25.00–24.56).
– Price targets (1–3 days): 25.05–25.20 (PT1 ~+1x ATR from 24.6 dip), 25.50 (PT2), 25.90–26.40 (PT3 stretch/extension).
– Entries:
– Buy-the-dip: 24.55–24.70 with higher low on 5–15 min.
– Breakout: Through 25.00 with volume.
– Stop: 24.30 (below structure); tighter traders 24.40.
3) TSM
– Daily support: 327.13; 327.00; 326.50
– Daily resistance: 328.50; 329.20; 330.00–330.50
– 30-min path view (2–3 days): Grinding trend. Look for 327.3–327.6 early tag, then a push over 328.5. Above 328.5, momentum can carry to 329.2 and 330–330.5.
– ATR proxy: ~1.37 (328.5–327.13).
– Price targets (1–3 days): 329.2 (PT1), 330.4 (PT2 ~+1 ATR from 327.9–328 base), 331.7 (PT3 stretch).
– Entries:
– Buy-the-dip: 327.3–327.6.
– Breakout: >328.50 with a 30-min close.

4) WDC
– Daily support: 219.10; 219.70; 218.50
– Daily resistance: 220.80; 221.50; 223.00
– 30-min path view (2–3 days): Constructive higher-low structure. Expect an early check-back 219.7–220.0, then attempt to clear 220.8. Over 220.8, 221.5 then 223 are in play.
– ATR proxy: ~1.70 (220.8–219.1).
– Price targets (1–3 days): 221.5 (PT1), 223.0 (PT2 ~+1 ATR from 222 base), 224.3–225.0 (PT3 stretch).

– Daily resistance: 19.60; 19.75; 20.00
– 30-min path view (2–3 days): Momentum reasserted late. Favor a dip to 19.35–19.45 that holds; reclaim of 19.60 could accelerate toward 19.75 and a test of 20.00.
– ATR proxy: ~0.36 (19.60–19.24).

– Daily resistance: 18.50; 18.62; 18.80–18.90
– 30-min path view (2–3 days): Tight range with higher lows. Expect early dip toward 18.35–18.40, then a push at 18.50. Through 18.50, look for 18.62 and 18.80–18.90 swing tags.
– ATR proxy: ~0.17 (18.50–18.33).
– Price targets (1–3 days): 18.55 (PT1), 18.70 (PT2 ~+1–2 ATRs from 18.35 base), 18.90 (PT3 stretch).
– Entries:
– Buy-the-dip: 18.35–18.40 risk-defined.
– Breakout: >18.50 on volume.
– Stop: 18.20 (tight), 18.10 (swing).
Risk management and notes
– Because the upload lacks 30-day/10-day full context, treat these as momentum continuations driven by today’s structure; re-validate levels against your daily charts pre-market.
– Size smaller on leveraged ETFs (AGQ) and thinner after-hours names; widen stops if trading regular hours only.
– If semis lose bid (watch SOXX/SMH, TSM 327 and MU 343.5), fade targets on AEHR/TSM/WDC and tighten stops.
– If silver loses 209 on AGQ with velocity, step aside—today’s pop was the edge; don’t let a failed breakout turn into a swing loss.
This is an educational momentum plan; adjust to your risk profile, liquidity preferences, and fresh pre-/post-market information before execution.
