Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2026-01-14 13:30 to 19:30. Note: your upload provides intraday 30-minute prints from a single session rather than full 30 days; I’ll emphasize the recent session’s price/volume action and infer short-term momentum reads within sectors accordingly.

Semiconductors and Semi Equipment showed broad strength into the close:
– Strength: AMAT (301.9→302.0 close near HOD), MPWR (power move to 984.3 on expanding volume), MTSI (214.95 close with AH prints at 215.20), ASML/KLAC/NVMI/ONTO/FN steady-to-strong closes. This looks like sustained institutional bid in semi-cap and analog/power names, with pullbacks being bought.
– Mixed: Memory/HDD tilted soft in AH (STX, WDC drifted slightly lower).

Defense/Aerospace continued to grind higher:
– Strength: TDG (closed at 1423.85 HOD), LMT (AH push toward 579), ESLT (bid into AH), CW held gains; NOC firm. Volume picked up late in TDG and CW, consistent with continuation patterns.

Industrial/services and contractors resilient:
– Strength: PWR (prints progressed 436.9→441.3), EME (651.9→661.0 close at HOD), STRL held a higher close, IBP steady, BLD slightly heavy late but in strong uptrend context. This basket still shows demand on dips.

Precious metals/silver complex saw a sharp after-hours air-pocket and partial retrace:
– AGQ/SLV/SIVR/JNUG/NUGT showed a fast drop (AGQ 273→257 low, SLV 85.28→83.22) then stabilizing bounces. That tape warns of near-term whipsaws and headline sensitivity.

Biotech/small-cap healthcare mixed-to-choppy:
– Spot momentum pops (LQDA, LENZ intraday), but many faded into/after close (BEAM, ORIC, ZBIO). Not a clean group trend.

Retail/consumer staples and housing-adjacent mixed:
– CASY steady, POOL faded intraday, NAIL flat-to-softer AH.

Notable patterns:
– Momentum continuation setups into the close in semis (AMAT, MPWR, MTSI) and industrial/aerospace (TDG, EME, PWR).
– Metals volatility suggests caution on long leverage in silver miners/ETPs until bases rebuild.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to push higher: AMAT, MPWR, MTSI, TDG, EME, PWR.
Strongest bullish signals: TDG (HOD close), EME (trend day with HOD close), MPWR (range expansion and close near highs), AMAT (late-day accumulation and tight AH range above 300), MTSI (breakout-and-hold >215 zone), PWR (late-session progression and higher AH prints).

Individual Stock Analysis
Note: With only intraday data provided, key levels are derived from session pivots, round-number psychology, and recent closing/printing areas. Validate against your daily chart to align with broader supply/demand zones. Targets reflect 1–3 day momentum moves roughly in line with recent intraday ATR behavior.

AMAT
– Support: 301.8–302.0 (late close pivot), 300.0 (psych level), 298.5 (session low vicinity).
– Resistance: 302.5 (AH high), 304.0, 306.0.
– 30-min price action outlook (2–3 days): Look for an early dip-and-hold above 300–301. If 302.5 breaks and holds, momentum continuation toward 304–306.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 303.8, 305.2, stretch 306.5.
– Entries: 300.8–301.5 pullback to prior pivot; or 302.6 breakout-retest.
– Stop-loss: 298.2 (below session low and round number).

MPWR
– Support: 975.0, 972.1 (intraday support), 968.8 (session low area).
– Resistance: 984.3 (HOD), 990.0, 998–1000.0.
– 30-min price action outlook (2–3 days): Expect consolidation 978–982 then a push. Hold above 975 keeps the uptrend intact; reclaim/hold 984.5 opens 990 magnet.
– Swing targets: 989–990, 995, stretch 1000.
– Entries: 975–977 VWAP/pullback zone; or 985–986 breakout-retest.
– Stop-loss: 969.0 (beneath session low).

MTSI
– Support: 213.8–214.0, 212.0, 210.9 (session pivot/low).
– Resistance: 215.45 (HOD), 217.0, 219.5.
– 30-min price action outlook (2–3 days): Flag under 215 then trend continuation if 214.9–215.2 holds. A clean push through 215.5 can extend.
– Swing targets: 216.8, 218.8, stretch 220.5.
– Entries: 213.9–214.4 pullback; or 215.6 breakout-retest.
– Stop-loss: 211.2.

TDG
– Support: 1412.0, 1408.8, 1405.3.
– Resistance: 1423.85 (HOD), 1430.0, 1436.0.
– 30-min price action outlook (2–3 days): Higher-lows trend intact; early fade to 1410–1412 likely finds buyers; hold above 1412 favors continuation.
– Swing targets: 1426.0, 1430.5, stretch 1435.0.
– Entries: 1411–1413 pullback to prior breakout base; or 1424–1425 post-break retest.
– Stop-loss: 1404.5.

EME
– Support: 657.0, 654.5, 651.9.
– Resistance: 661.0 (HOD), 664.0, 667.5.
– 30-min price action outlook (2–3 days): Momentum day setup; above 661 the path is open for a continuation grind. Watch pullbacks to 657–658 for higher-low validation.
– Swing targets: 663.5, 666.5, stretch 669.5.
– Entries: 657.5–658.5 pullback; or 661.2 breakout-retest.
– Stop-loss: 651.4.

PWR
– Support: 436.0, 435.0, 433.5.
– Resistance: 439.9, 441.3, 444.0.
– 30-min price action outlook (2–3 days): Late-session higher prints suggest follow-through. Sustained trade above 436.5 sets up a test of 439.9/441.3.
– Swing targets: 440.5, 441.3, stretch 443.5.
– Entries: 435.8–436.4 pullback; or 440.0 breakout-retest if volume comes in.
– Stop-loss: 433.8.

Additional quick reads (not full plans):
– STRL: constructive above 316.8; watch 320.8 for breakout continuation.
– Metals (SLV/AGQ): expect chop; only reclaiming and holding SLV >84.7 would repair short-term damage.

Risk management notes
– Given the limited dataset (single-session intraday), anchor these levels to your daily chart for 30-day context before executing.
– Use smaller size on first entries and add only on confirmation (break-and-hold with volume on 30-min).
– Respect stops; many of these are 1–2% risk to target 1.5–3% over 1–3 days in line with recent ranges.
