Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range covered: 2025-12-02 13:30 to 19:30)
Note on data coverage: You provided intraday/after-hours snapshots for 12/02 rather than a full 30-day history. I’ll anchor levels and momentum calls to the most recent session structure (30-min candles and late-day order flow), and reference obvious higher-timeframe zones where appropriate.
- Semiconductors led: Broad strength across SMH/SOXX into the close (SMH peaked ~361, closed ~360; SOXX near 305), with large-caps holding bid: ADI (~272–274), AMAT (~265), NXPI (~215–217), TER (~189–191). Equipment names (SITM, KLAC, ASML, MPWR) showed relative strength; SITM notably expanded with strong 30-min thrust to 308 and held most gains. This sustained late-day resilience favors 1–3 day upside continuation. Tickers referenced: SMH, SOXX, ADI, NXPI, AMAT, TER, SITM, KLAC, ASML, MPWR.
- Precious metals/silver complex constructive: Silver proxies and miners caught bids into/after hours despite volatility: SLVR, AGQ spiked then cooled, miners HL and AG held higher prints, GDXU/JNUG remained firm. This rotation hints at a short-term momentum leg if futures stay bid. Tickers referenced: SLVR, AGQ, HL, AG, EXK, GDXU, JNUG.
- Consumer/Retail mixed: URBN held intraday gains with strong volume into the close; ANF faded; WING/DPZ chopped. Tickers: URBN, ANF, WING, DPZ.
- Industrials flat-to-stable: BA and CAT ranged with little urgency; no strong momentum edge. Tickers: BA, CAT.
- Software/AI tools mostly sideways except selective breakouts: SYM pushed to new session highs (to 67.35) late; ADSK/MDB/SNPS were tight. Tickers: SYM, ADSK, MDB, SNPS.
Notable patterns
– Semis: dip-buys were defended; late-session highs held or only marginally faded (bullish for follow-through).
– Silver complex: higher lows with expanding ranges; momentum traders active on pullbacks.
– Select single-name momentum: SITM and SYM printed strong 30-min impulsive candles late, often a precursor to next-day continuation if opening structure cooperates.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation candidates
– ADI, NXPI (large-cap semis; sector tailwind + constructive closes)
– SITM (semicap equipment; strong 30-min impulse, held gains)
– SYM (automation; higher-highs late with expanding volume)
– HL, AG (silver miners; metals bid + steady closes)
Strongest bullish tells
– SITM, SYM: clean late-day momentum and close near highs.
– ADI, NXPI: sector leadership and tight consolidations near session highs.
– HL, AG: metals bid with higher lows; miners held gains even as ETFs cooled.
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing plans)
Important: With only intraday data supplied, “daily” zones below reflect obvious supply/demand near round numbers and recent session extremes, which typically align with daily pivots. Targets are set near resistance zones and by projecting 1–1.5 recent-day ranges.
1) ADI
– Supports (daily/supply-demand):
– 272.00 (late-session demand)
– 270.50 (round, recent intraday pivot)
– 268.00 (deeper demand zone)
– Resistances:
– 274.10–274.50 (session high/supply)
– 276.00 (round, prior supply)
– 279.00–280.00 (stretch target zone)
– 30-min view (next 2–3 days):
– Bullish above 272.2–272.5; expect tests of 274.1 then 276.
– Loss of 271.8 likely brings 270.5 retest before dip-buyers step in.
– Price targets (1–3 day):
– PT1 274.8
– PT2 276.5
– Stretch 279–280
– Entry:
– Pullback buy 272.0–272.5; add near 271.0 if tested and reclaimed.
– Stop-loss:
– Tight: 270.8
– Swing: 269.8 (below demand)
2) NXPI
– Supports:
– 215.35 (RTH close pivot)
– 214.32 (intraday low)
– 212.50 (deeper demand)
– Resistances:
– 217.98 (AH peak/supply)
– 220.00 (round)
– 222.50–223.00 (swing supply)
– 30-min view:
– Holding 215.5–216.0 favors a push to 218 then 220.
– Below 214.3 risks a shakeout toward 212.5 demand.
– Price targets (1–3 day):
– PT1 218.5
– PT2 220.0
– Stretch 222–223
– Entry:
– 215.6–216.1 pullback buy; add on 217 reclaim with momentum.
– Stop-loss:
– 214.2 (beneath session low)
3) SITM
– Supports:
– 303.00 (intraday base)
– 302.50 (minor demand)
– 300.00 (psychological/swing demand)
– Resistances:
– 306.16–308.24 (session high zone/supply)
– 310.00 (round)
– 313.00–314.00 (stretch)
– 30-min view:
– Momentum continuation if 303.8–304.2 holds on the open; expect attempts through 306–308.
– Back-burn tests to ~302.5 likely find buyers if the sector stays firm.
– Price targets (1–3 day):
– PT1 308.0
– PT2 310.5
– Stretch 313.0
– Entry:
– 303.5–304.2 on pullbacks; add on a clean 306.2 break-and-hold.
– Stop-loss:
– 301.8 (tight)
– 299.8 (swing under 300)
4) SYM
– Supports:
– 66.40 (session demand)
– 66.00–66.10 (prior base)
– 65.20 (deeper demand zone)
– Resistances:
– 67.19–67.35 (late-day highs/supply)
– 68.00 (round number)
– 69.00–69.30 (stretch)
– 30-min view:
– Above 66.6 keeps momentum intact; look for 67.35 break then 68.
– Below 66.0 would delay the move and likely revisit 65.2 buyers.
– Price targets (1–3 day):
– PT1 67.8
– PT2 68.5
– Stretch 69.3
– Entry:
– Buy 66.6–66.9 on pullback into prior breakout; add on 67.35 push-and-hold.
– Stop-loss:
– 65.9 (tight)
– 65.2 (below demand)
5) HL
– Supports:
– 17.60 (repeated tests, held)
– 17.50 (round, demand)
– 17.20 (deeper demand/last resort)
– Resistances:
– 17.69–17.70 (late highs/supply)
– 18.00 (round)
– 18.30 (stretch)
– 30-min view:
– Metals tailwind: hold 17.55–17.62 to retest 17.69 then 18.00.
– Failure below 17.50 may reset to 17.20 where buyers likely defend.
– Price targets (1–3 day):
– PT1 17.90
– PT2 18.10
– Stretch 18.30
– Entry:
– 17.55–17.62 pullbacks; add if 17.70 breaks with volume.
– Stop-loss:
– 17.35 (tight, below demand)
6) AG
– Supports:
– 15.91–15.94 (late session demand band)
– 15.87 (intraday floor)
– 15.70 (deeper demand)
– Resistances:
– 15.98–16.00 (near-term supply)
– 16.20
– 16.50 (stretch)
– 30-min view:
– Constructive above 15.90; look for clean 16.00 reclaim → 16.20.
– A dip to 15.70–15.87 likely attracts buyers if silver stays bid.
– Price targets (1–3 day):
– PT1 16.05
– PT2 16.20
– Stretch 16.45–16.50
– Entry:
– 15.90–15.95 pullback; add on 16.00 break-and-hold.
– Stop-loss:
– 15.72 (beneath demand)
Additional color and risk notes
– Semis (ADI/NXPI/SITM) benefit from sector breadth (SMH/SOXX holding highs). If SMH loses 359–360 decisively, tighten stops or reduce size across the group.
– Metals (HL/AG) depend on overnight futures tone. If silver/gold gap down, wait for intraday higher-low patterns before adding.
– Execution tip for short-term swings: scale in on first demand test; only add if price reclaims VWAP and prior 30-min high on rising volume.
If you want, I can recalc these levels from full daily data and ATRs once you share the broader 30-day history; the trade plans will tighten further with that context.
