Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window reviewed: 2026-01-07, roughly 14:00–19:30 EST across tickers)
- Tape tone by group:
- Semiconductors/AI hardware: Large-cap leaders were quiet-to-soft and range-bound after-hours (SMH flat around 384.2–384.9; ASML/AMAT/KLAC/LRCX/WDC/SNPS/TER printed tight ranges and slight fades). Select high-beta infra/compute names showed outsized momentum and reversals (APLD strong reclaim from 28.2 to 30.3; APLX volatile but stabilized near 75; SKYT stepped up to 28.97 then cooled).
- Uranium/Nuclear complex: Persistent relative strength with higher closes into the evening in UEC (14.55 HOD close), UUUU (toward 19.13), URNJ/URAA firming, and SMR/OKLO holding constructive bases. LEU softened late.
- Defense/Aerospace: Bid persisted. AVAV accelerated to 346.8 before a controlled cool-off to 343; KTOS stair-stepped higher within a tight channel; CW/HEI/CACI steady.
- Biotech/Pharma: Mixed. RVMD broke out hard (≈88.9 to 97.0) on rising volume; ALNY/REGN/VRTX mostly indecisive late.
- Crypto/miners: Flat-to-heavy and choppy (RIOT/HUT meandered; XRPT/XXRP drifted lower).
- Retail/Consumer: Weak drift (BURL, DDS, ULTA modest fades).
- Heavy Industrials/Services: Mostly consolidations (URI/EME/FIX/POWL/CMI).
- Standout momentum and patterns:
- Reclaims from deep intraday selloffs (APLD) often lead to 1–3 day continuation when next open holds above the reclaim zone.
- Uranium basket bid into the close (UEC, UUUU, URNJ/URAA) suggests follow-through potential if futures/spot stays supportive.
- Defense bid (AVAV, KTOS) with higher lows points to potential breakouts on modest volume expansion.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside candidates (bullish momentum/structure):
– APLD, RVMD, AVAV, KTOS, UEC, UUUU, SMR, OKLO
Strongest bullish signals:
– RVMD (range expansion + volume surge, closed near highs)
– APLD (capitulation flush then decisive reclaim and higher lows into the close)
– UEC/UUUU (group strength and HOD closes)
– AVAV/KTOS (orderly up-channels, close near top of ranges)
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Supports/resistances use today’s clear supply/demand pivots and nearby round-number zones. “ATR proxy” is approximated from today’s observed range; confirm on open.
1) APLD
– Structure: Big flush 31.8 → 28.2 then steady reclaim to 30.3 with rising volume—bullish reversal.
– Supports: 30.00, 29.70, 28.20
– Resistances: 30.80, 31.80, 33.00
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days):
– Bull case: Hold 29.7–30.0 off the open → push 30.8, then 31.8 gap area. Momentum extension could tag 33.0 if volume persists.
– Bear/refresh: Lose 29.7 → test 29.0–28.7, still viable for higher-low if reclaimed quickly.
– Targets (1–3 day): 30.8 → 31.8 → 33.0 (stretch; ≈ today’s range as ATR proxy)
– Entry ideas: 29.8–30.0 retest; or breakout >30.8 with tight risk.
– Stop: 28.90 (below reclaim base); conservative swing stop 27.95.
2) RVMD
– Structure: Breakout day (≈88.9 → 97.0) with successive higher highs on volume—classic continuation setup.
– Supports: 93.00–93.60, 92.80, 91.50
– Resistances: 97.40 (session high), 100.00, 102.00
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days):
– Bull case: Early hold above 93.6–94.5 → retake 96–97.4 → attempt round-number magnet 100, then 102 on continuation.
– Risk: Quick fade under 92.8 likely backfills to 91.5 before dip-buyers step in.
– Targets (1–3 day): 97.4 → 100.0 → 102.0
– Entry ideas: 94.0–94.8 pullback catch; add through 97.4 if volume confirms.
– Stop: 92.70 (beneath higher-low shelf).
3) AVAV
– Structure: Trend up from 334–345+ with a controlled pullback to 343; strong but not extended.
– Supports: 342.00, 334.50, 333.90
– Resistances: 346.76, 350.00, 353.00
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days):
– Bull: Hold 342–344 → reclaim 346.8 → 350 magnet; if volume expands, 353 achievable.
– Bear: Break 342 → 339–340 test; still constructive if recaptured.
– Targets (1–3 day): 346.8 → 350.0 → 353.0
– Entry ideas: 342.5–344.0 on an orderly dip; or through 346.8 on a push.
– Stop: 341.40 (below intraday base).
4) KTOS
– Structure: Tight rising channel, higher lows, close near highs—coiled for breakout.
– Supports: 96.50, 96.10, 95.80
– Resistances: 97.51, 98.00, 99.00
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days):
– Bull: Maintain 96.5–97.0 → press 97.5 → 98–99 continuation if defense bid holds.
– Risk: Lose 96.1 → 95.8 test likely; below there momentum stalls.
– Targets (1–3 day): 97.5 → 98.0 → 99.0
– Entry ideas: 96.6–96.9 buy-the-dip; add on 97.6 break.
– Stop: 95.90.
5) UEC
– Structure: Steady bid into HOD close; uranium group tailwind.
– Supports: 14.46, 14.36, 14.20
– Resistances: 14.55, 14.80, 15.00
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days):
– Bull: Hold 14.45–14.50 → take out 14.55 → 14.80; strong tape could probe 15.00.
– Risk: Slip to 14.36; as long as 14.20 holds, trend intact.
– Targets (1–3 day): 14.55 → 14.80 → 15.00
– Entry ideas: 14.45–14.52 pullback; or momentum add >14.56.

– Bull: Hold 19.00–19.05 → 19.15 break → 19.30; extension could test 19.50.
– Risk: Lose 18.95 → 18.80 check; buyers likely active on first test.
– Targets (1–3 day): 19.15 → 19.30 → 19.50
– Entry ideas: 19.00–19.05 first dip; add on 19.16 push.
– Stop: 18.85.

– Supports: 19.35, 19.30, 19.20
– Resistances: 19.47, 19.60, 20.00
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days):
– Bull: Early hold >19.30 → 19.47/19.60 probe; if uranium remains firm, 20.00 test possible.
– Risk: Slip to 19.20; constructive unless base breaks decisively.
– Targets (1–3 day): 19.47 → 19.60 → 20.00
– Entry ideas: 19.30–19.36 on dips; or add on 19.60 break.

– Risk: Under 96.8 opens 96.2–96.0; would delay breakout.
– Targets (1–3 day): 97.85 → 98.00 → 99.00
– Entry ideas: 97.20–97.40 support buy; or >98.00 momentum add.

Notes and risk management
– The provided dataset is intraday for 2026-01-07. The “30-day/10-day” context is inferred from today’s price/volume behavior and sector ETFs included (e.g., SMH, URNJ/URAA). Confirm these setups against your 30-minute and daily charts at the next cash open.
– For 1–3 day swings, size down if the open gaps beyond listed entries; let price come to levels or use smaller starter positions and add only on confirmation.
– If any of these names gap under first support, wait for a reclaim of that level before considering entries.
