Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2026-01-21 from 13:30 to 19:30. Note: Only intraday 30-minute data for this date were provided; where “daily” levels are requested, I derived them from the session’s extremes and obvious round-number supply/demand zones that commonly align with recent daily pivots.
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
- Semiconductors and Semi-Equipment (ASML, KLAC, AEIS, MU, AMD, RMBS, NVMI, MKSI, MTSI, SITM, VICR, ONTO, ICHR, UCTT, TTMI, WDC, STX, INTC): Broad late-day strength with multiple names printing or holding near session highs into the after-hours.
- Standouts: ASML pushed to 1,379.95 AH, KLAC to 1,529, RMBS trend-up to 132.89, MU toward 396+ with heavy volume, AMD steady bid above 252, AEIS closed strong at 270. This points to continued momentum in chips/equipment.
- Defense/Aerospace (LMT, NOC, HII, TDG, TDY, CW): Firm consolidation near highs; prints were tight and bid-supported (e.g., LMT ~587–588, NOC ~664, TDG ~1,450). Character is constructive for continuation after pauses.
- Infrastructure/Engineering/Electrical (PWR, STRL, FIX, EME, DY, MTZ, MYRG, RS, IESC, CACI): Generally resilient and grinding higher (STRL 363.8, PWR 475.65, EME ~709, FIX ~1,148). Extensions are smaller but steady—good for 1–3 day swing continuations.
- Precious Metals (GLD, RGLD, FNV; leveraged GDXU/JNUG/NUGT; silver AGQ; SVM): Clear late-session risk-off—GLD faded 444.4→439.37; AGQ slid 262→~251; GDXU/JNUG/NUGT all down. Bias: short-term pressure likely persists unless a swift reversal.
- Energy/Nat Gas (BOIL, UNG, OIH): Nat gas ETFs reversed lower late (UNG 13.74→13.46; BOIL 27.46→26.26). OIH was steady but energy beta didn’t lead; gas looks weak near-term.
- Biotech/Pharma (MRNA, NVAX, CRVS, GPCR, NTLA, ORIC, AVXL, ERAS, IBRX, EWTX): Mixed but selective strength—CRVS ripped into the close; MRNA reclaimed 52s; GPCR held upper range. Others churned or faded.
- Consumer/Other (ULTA, COST, CASY, BRBR, MATX): Mostly range-bound to firm (ULTA steady ~683, COST flat ~983, BRBR held 28).
Notable short-term patterns
– Momentum continuation candidates on strong closes/upper-range holds: MU, RMBS, ASML, KLAC, AEIS, STRL, PWR, CRVS, MRNA, GPCR.
– Mean-reversion/weakness: GLD/AGQ/GDXU/NUGT/JNUG (metals), UNG/BOIL (nat gas).
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to go up (strongest signals first):
– MU, RMBS, ASML, KLAC, AEIS (semis/equipment strength, strong closes, breadth)
– STRL, PWR (steady grind with upper-range closes)
– CRVS, MRNA, GPCR (biotech momentum/upper-range holds)
Secondary watch: FTAI, MKSI, VICR for continuation if futures/sector tailwinds persist.
Strongest bullish signals: RMBS (persistent ramp, range expansion), ASML/KLAC (mega-cap equipment pushing highs AH), MU (heavy volume advance), CRVS (late-day expansion, strong hold).
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing plans)
1) MU
– Supports: 392.5; 394.0; 395.0
– Resistances: 396.35; 398.5; 400.0
– 30-min view/prediction: Prefer a pullback-and-go. If it holds 394–395 early, look for a push through 396.3 toward 398–400 in 1–3 days.
– Targets (1–3 days): 398.5; 400.0; stretch 403 if semis rip.

Notes and risk management
– For all setups, prefer pullback entries near support with clear invalidation over chasing breakouts unless volume surges and sector breadth confirms.
– If metals/miners (GLD/AGQ/GDXU/NUGT/JNUG) bounce hard at the open, rotate risk away from semis briefly—otherwise, the semi bid should persist.
– If nat gas (UNG/BOIL) continues to fade, avoid long exposure there until a higher low forms on 30-min and VWAP is reclaimed.
If you want me to narrow this to only 3–5 highest-conviction trades with tightest risk/reward and live-adjust the levels at tomorrow’s open, say the word and I’ll refine entries/stops using the first 15–30 minutes’ tape.
