Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed: 2025-11-25 13:30 to 19:30)
Note: The data shared are intraday snapshots from Nov 25 (with a minor Nov 24 print on MESA); no 30-day history was included. Commentary below focuses on today’s relative strength/weakness and momentum cues (30-min bars), with an emphasis on the last ~10 intraday bars.
- Semiconductors led on momentum and breadth:
- Strength: MPWR, KLAC, SITM advanced on expanding late-day volume and higher-high/higher-low structures. AVGO and ADI were firm, KLIC constructive. This group showed persistent bids into the close—a classic sign of short-term continuation potential.
- Biotech/specialty diagnostics saw multiple late-day push-ups:
- NRIX broke and held 17.00. QDEL had a volume-backed breakout through 28.13 into 28.54. TNGX and SVRA showed accumulation. CGEM printed a sharp spike with follow-through holds above 12.
- Industrials/engineering and building products were bid:
- FIX, PH, GWW, IBP, FN, WSC (heavy volume ramp/hold near HOD) suggest buyers supporting cyclical/value. RXO (transport/logistics) broke out through 13.00 on strong 30-min expansion.
- Large-cap tech was steady, not leading:
- GOOG/GOOGL and META were stable-to-firm but without outsized momentum compared to semis.
- Consumer discretionary mixed:
- RL/ANF/BOOT largely range-bound; CVNA steady at highs but no fresh thrust.
- Healthcare providers flat:
- HCA/THC mostly sideways.
Notable intraday patterns:
– Breakout-and-hold structures with strong last-hour flows: MPWR, KLAC, SITM, RXO, WSC, NRIX, QDEL, AZTA.
– Volume confirmation: RXO, WSC, QDEL, NRIX, MPWR showed rising volume on up-bars late in the session—supportive of short-term continuation.
Ticker Performance Prediction (2–3 days)
Most likely to continue up over the next 2–3 trading days (momentum/continuation setups):
– MPWR, KLAC, SITM (semis)
– RXO (transport/logistics)
– WSC (industrial services)
– NRIX, QDEL, AZTA (biotech/life sciences)
Strongest bullish signals today: MPWR, KLAC, SITM, RXO, WSC.
Individual Stock Analysis (levels, entries, targets, stops, and 30-min based path)
Proxy ATR for 1–3 day targets is approximated from today’s H-L range.
1) MPWR
– Context: Trend day up; strong close near highs; semis leading.
– Support: 902–900; 896–897; 890.
– Resistance: 913.3 (intraday high); 920; 930.
– Estimated daily ATR: ~19–22.
– Trade plan (30-min path): Prefer a shallow pullback into 902–905, then a push through 913 toward 920. If 900 fails, expect a reset toward 896 then a second attempt.
– Entries: 902–905 pullback; or momentum above 913.5 on volume.
– Stops: Tight 895–896 (pullback entry) or 905 (if chasing over 913 fails).
– 1–3 day targets: 920; 930; stretch 943–945 if semis remain hot.
2) KLAC
– Context: Clean breakout with strong semis tape; held 1145 into the close.
– Support: 1141–1142; 1136–1138; 1130.
– Resistance: 1148.5; 1155; 1165.
– Estimated daily ATR: ~15.
– Trade plan: Buy dips toward 1141–1143 that hold; look for a push over 1148.5 to open 1155. Failure below 1136 would delay the move.
– Entries: 1141–1143; add on 1148.6 break with volume.
– Stops: 1135 (swing), 1140 (tighter).
– 1–3 day targets: 1155; 1165; stretch 1175–1180.
3) SITM
– Context: Higher highs with late-day expansion; momentum-friendly float.
– Support: 284–285; 282; 279–280.
– Resistance: 289.4; 292; 295.
– Estimated daily ATR: ~11–12.
– Trade plan: Favor a quick dip-and-go from 284–285, then a retest of 289–292. Sustained holds above 292 open 295+.
– Entries: 284–285 pullback; or 289.6 breakout.
– Stops: 281.5–282 (pullback); 287.8 (post-break risk).
– 1–3 day targets: 292; 295; stretch 300–302.
4) RXO
– Context: Breakout through 13.00 on strong 30-min volume; constructive base transition.
– Support: 12.85–12.90; 12.73; 12.60.
– Resistance: 13.03–13.05; 13.20; 13.50.
– Estimated daily ATR: ~0.30–0.35.
– Trade plan: Look for an early check-back to 12.85–12.95 and hold; then continuation over 13.05 toward 13.20. A firm close above 13.20 sets up 13.50.
– Entries: 12.85–12.95; or reclaim/hold >13.05.
– Stops: 12.69–12.72 (below breakout base).
– 1–3 day targets: 13.20; 13.50; stretch 13.80.
5) WSC
– Context: Heavy volume ramp; closed near top-third of the session range—accumulation look.
– Support: 19.20–19.25; 19.10–19.17; 18.90–18.95.
– Resistance: 19.38–19.40; 19.50; 20.00.
– Estimated daily ATR: ~0.40–0.50.
– Trade plan: Buy a drift into 19.20–19.25 with tight risk; if 19.40 breaks cleanly, look for 19.50 and a swing toward 20.00 over 1–3 days.
– Entries: 19.20–19.25; or 19.41–19.42 breakout with volume.
– Stops: 18.95.
– 1–3 day targets: 19.50; 19.85; 20.00.
6) NRIX

– Support: 16.80–16.90; 16.74–16.75; 16.60.
– Resistance: 17.05; 17.25; 17.50.
– Estimated daily ATR: ~0.40.

– Entries: 16.85–16.95; add >17.05 on volume.
– Stops: 16.60–16.65.
– 1–3 day targets: 17.25; 17.50; stretch 17.80.
7) QDEL

– Context: Trend up all afternoon; printed 38.11 → 39.05 and held the upper range.
– Support: 38.20–38.40; 38.00–38.10; 37.75–37.90.
– Resistance: 39.05; 39.50; 40.00.
– Estimated daily ATR: ~1.30.
– Trade plan: Buy dips near 38.20–38.40; confirm with higher low on 30-min, then break 39.05 for 39.50+. If 38.00 breaks, expect a deeper retest toward 37.75.
– Entries: 38.20–38.40; add on 39.06–39.10 break.
– Stops: 37.70–37.85.
– 1–3 day targets: 39.50; 40.00; stretch 40.80.
Quick notes on a few other momentum watchlist names (not full plans)
– SITM/MPWR/KLAC group tailwind should also aid KLIC (watch 43.60 → 44.00) and AVGO (387.00 reclaim/hold).
– PACS showed high volume with a tight close near 32; watch 31.75 support and 32.18 break for 32.50/33.00.
– CGEM: 11.77 support; 12.39 resistance; can squeeze toward 12.75/13.00 if volume returns.
Risk management and execution
– Given the lack of 30-day history in the file, lean on tight risk around clearly defined intraday levels and let price confirm with volume on 30-min bars.
– If the semis bid cools, reduce exposure to MPWR/KLAC/SITM quickly; they are leaders, but leaders pull back hardest.
– Size down on thinner tickers (NRIX, QDEL, AZTA, WSC) and avoid chasing extended candles; prioritize pullback entries near supports listed above.
If you want these plans refined with true 30-day levels/ATR, send the last 30 daily candles for the tickers above and I’ll update supports/resistances with higher confluence.
