Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range (ET) analyzed: 2025-10-08 from 13:00 to 19:30 ET using your 30-minute intraday and after-hours snapshots. Note: Only one day of intraday/AH data was provided; 30-day context is inferred from current momentum and recent supply/demand behavior around obvious levels. If you can share the full 30-day daily bars, I’ll refine levels further.
- Semiconductors/AI hardware leading: Strength and persistent bids in AMD (closing AH push to 241.20), WOLF (sharp AH breakout 31.3 → 34.5), MPWR (drive toward 981), PI (trend day to 212.6). This group shows classic continuation behavior: higher highs on rising liquidity late day/AH.
- Crypto miners/blockchain tilted bullish and rotational: CIFR (heavy turnover with 17.99 → 19.05 swings), IREN (push to 61.75, working higher lows), CLSK (bid holds near 19.3), HIVE/HUT/WGMI firm. The basket’s synchronized upticks point to risk-on appetite for high beta.
- Aerospace/defense/milspec mixed-to-positive: AVAV stair-stepping higher in AH (to 410.5), RKLB grinding at 65, NOC firm. Upside interest but with less beta than miners/semis.
- Industrials/Construction steady with mild upside: PWR further breakout prints to 449 AH, STRL trend up to 370, URI firm near 995, CAT holding 502, GWW stable. Breadth constructive despite some afternoon fades.
- Healthcare mixed: Biotech had dispersion (e.g., NTLA grind higher AH, STOK intraday sell), large-cap managed care (UNH, HUM, ELV) flat/down and indecisive. Not leadership.
- Satcom/space: ASTS trended up to 81.3, VSAT/TSAT stable. Mild risk-on within the theme.
Noticeable patterns
- Momentum expansion into the close/AH in semis and miners (AMD, WOLF, CIFR, IREN) suggests dip-buyers are in control and breakouts are being chased.
- Industrials are acting as sturdy secondary leadership (PWR, STRL, URI) with constructive bases and measured breakouts.
- Liquidity is thin in many small/micro caps after hours; prioritize names with sustained volume and clean levels.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to go up (highest probability/quality setups first):
- WOLF, AMD, PI, PWR, CIFR, IREN, ASTS, RGTI
Strongest bullish signals
- WOLF: explosive AH range expansion and higher highs with follow-through; room to 35–37.5 if dips get absorbed.
- AMD: steady grind to new AH high; semis breadth tailwind; breakout continuation setup above 241–242.
- PI and PWR: liquid trend names closing near highs with clear break-and-hold behavior.
- CIFR/IREN: miners showing synchronized strength and volume; breakout-continuation potential if opening dips are defended.
Individual Stock Analysis (swing horizon 1–3 days)
Note: Support/resistance are daily supply/demand zones aligned to obvious round numbers and today’s 30-min structure. Targets are staged at nearby resistance confluence and typical momentum ranges. Use your 10-day ATR to calibrate size; I anchor targets to roughly 0.6–1.2x typical recent ATR for these tickers.
1) WOLF
- Supports: 33.40; 32.80; 31.80
- Resistances: 35.00; 36.20; 37.50
- 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Expect an opening test of 33.8–34.0. Reclaim and hold above 34.2 favors a trend push into 35.0, then 36.2. Failure to hold 33.4 likely backfills 32.8 before buyers attempt another leg.
- Price targets (1–3 day): 35.0; 36.2; stretch 37.4–37.8
- Entry ideas: Scale 33.6–33.9 on pullbacks or over 34.25 on momentum.
- Stop-loss: 32.70 (beneath the first shelf); tighter traders 33.10 if entering on strength.
2) AMD
- Supports: 238.80; 237.70; 236.00
- Resistances: 241.40; 244.00; 248.00
- 30-min outlook: Opening hold above 239.5–240.0 sets up a 241.4 break; clean through 241.5 could accelerate toward 244. Weak open likely tests 238.8 where dip-buyers should show.
- Price targets: 241.5–242.0; 244.0–245.0; stretch 247–248
- Entry ideas: Dips 239.0–239.6; or momentum over 241.50 after a 5–15 min hold.
- Stop-loss: 236.20 (below AH shelf); adjust to 237.5 if dip entry fills.
3) PI
- Supports: 210.20; 208.00; 205.90
- Resistances: 213.00; 216.00; 220.00
- 30-min outlook: Tight flag AH near highs. Early push over 213 opens 216. If first move fails, look for a higher low near 210.5–211 to reset.
- Price targets: 214.8–216.0; 218.5; stretch 220–222
- Entry ideas: Pullback 210.5–211.5; add over 213 on confirmation.
- Stop-loss: 208.20 (below flag base).
4) PWR
- Supports: 444.00–445.00; 442.00; 440.80
- Resistances: 449.00; 452.50; 456.00
- 30-min outlook: Break-and-hold type. Above 447.5 buyers likely press 449; acceptance >449 opens 452.5. Fail-and-hold below 444 risks a deeper daily retest.
- Price targets: 449.0; 452.5; stretch 456.0
- Entry ideas: Buy-back 444.5–445.5 on dip; momentum add over 449 with volume.
- Stop-loss: 441.80 (beneath demand).
5) CIFR
- Supports: 18.50; 18.00; 17.60
- Resistances: 19.05–19.10; 19.67; 20.00–20.80
- 30-min outlook: Wide range with higher lows. If 18.6–18.8 holds, expect retest of 19.05/19.10; through 19.1 could pop to 19.6–19.7. Failure back to 18.0–18.1 likely attracts buyers if crypto stays firm.
- Price targets: 19.6; 20.0; stretch 20.7
- Entry ideas: 18.60–18.85 pullback entries; or over 19.12 after a tight consolidation.
- Stop-loss: 18.05 (below intraday shelf).
6) IREN
- Supports: 61.00; 60.20; 59.40
- Resistances: 61.75; 62.50; 64.00
- 30-min outlook: Momentum stair-step. Early retest of 61.0 with quick reclaim sets 61.75, then 62.5. Weakness below 60.2 would cool the setup.
- Price targets: 62.5; 63.6; stretch 64.8
- Entry ideas: 61.0–61.2 on dips; or over 61.80 with time-price acceptance.
- Stop-loss: 60.20.
7) ASTS
- Supports: 80.90; 80.50; 79.80
- Resistances: 81.50; 82.20; 83.00
- 30-min outlook: Uptrend continuation if 80.9–81.1 holds. Break over 81.5 targets 82.2. Lose 80.5 and it likely revisits 79.8 demand.
- Price targets: 82.0–82.2; 82.8–83.0
- Entry ideas: 80.9–81.1 pullback; or >81.50 with a 15–30 min hold.
- Stop-loss: 80.30.
8) RGTI
- Supports: 43.40; 43.10; 42.60
- Resistances: 43.94; 44.50; 45.60
- 30-min outlook: Higher-low structure. Hold above 43.4 favors push to 43.9–44.0; through 44.0/44.1 opens 44.5. Below 43.1 it likely backfills 42.6 before bounce attempts.
- Price targets: 44.2; 44.9; stretch 45.6
- Entry ideas: 43.4–43.6 on dips; or >43.95 on a clean break.
- Stop-loss: 42.90.
Secondary watchlist (bullish but a notch lower priority or thinner liquidity): AVAV (support 407.6; resist 411/415/420), RKLB (needs ≥65.1 breakout), CLSK (19.1–19.2 support), QBTS (needs >34.9 push).
Risk management and execution notes
- Size down one notch in thin AH movers; focus on regular-hours confirmations and alignment with broader sector flow (e.g., semis ETF strength, crypto beta).
- Let first 15–30 minutes print the opening range; use ORH/ORL breaks and VWAP holds as confirmation for continuation.
- Trail stops under higher lows as targets hit; roll partials at first and second targets to derisk.
If you share the full 30-day daily bars (or 10-day ATRs), I can tighten the levels and ATR-based targets further.
