Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (ET range reviewed: 2025-10-22 13:30–19:30 ET)
Note on scope: The dataset provided covers intraday/after-hours prints on 2025-10-22. I’m basing the analysis on that session’s 30-minute action and liquidity. Where “last 10 days” context is mentioned, it is inferred from today’s momentum structure and typical behavior for these tickers; confirm on your daily charts.
- Technology and Software/IT Services:
- Large-cap software was firm to slightly bid into/after the close: ADBE (~354), CRM (~256.5), NOW (~935.8 to 937 test), HUBS (~469.5). Flows were orderly with shallow pullbacks and no aggressive selling into the close.
- Hardware/Security: AXON advanced steadily, finishing near highs (701.1) with a strong push to 701.7. That’s constructive for continuation if it holds high 690s.
- Semis/Mfg equipment mixed: KLAC was choppy with late prints; small-cap semi GSIT showed real momentum, stair-stepping higher into the after-hours (12.28 → 12.87) on rising volume, a classic short-term continuation setup.
- Financials:
- Payments/lenders showed strength: AXP held near highs (352.53 H, 352.01 C regular hours), constructive for a 2-3 day push if 351 holds. TFIN steady higher to 60.97.
- Healthcare:
- Devices/instruments constructive: ISRG ticked up to 530 AH; TMO climbed from 564.7 into 567+ and held; BIO/MTD were orderly. Managed care was mixed: HUM slipped late toward 280 on a sharp post-close move; HCA steady but watch an odd post-close print.
- Biotech/small-cap therapeutics were mixed-to-weak: KOD rolled lower; GNPX faded; AGH churned; AVDL flat. Select names like SION held higher ranges intraday but faded late.
- Industrials/Transportation:
- MEC stair-stepped higher all afternoon to close near session highs (16.49), good relative strength. JBHT and RBC were range-bound/slightly soft; TDG drifted late.
- Energy/Materials:
- LBRT soft; gold miners’ inverse (GDXD) bid into the close (17.55), implying pressure on miners/metals short term.
- Consumer/Discretionary/Travel:
- BKNG and MELI chopped; no strong read. WGO flat.
- Thematic/Inverse/Crypto:
- TSLQ (inverse TSLA) surged AH, then flagged near 25.5—still net bid on heavy volume; potential for continuation if it holds 25s.
- NVDS (inverse NVDA) flat-to-firm near 34.8–35; QBTZ (crypto proxy) faded AH.
Notable near-term patterns:
– Continuation candidates with strong closes and rising 30-min structure: GSIT (semis small-cap), MEC (industrial/fab), AXON (public safety tech), AXP (payments), ISRG (medical devices).
– Defensive/short-bias themes via inverses also bid: TSLQ, GDXD.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 sessions)
Most likely to rise:
– GSIT: Higher highs/lows into the after-hours with expanding volume.
– MEC: Persistent grind higher with volume expansion into the last 30–60 minutes.
– AXON: Closed near highs after afternoon trend; buyers defended dips.
– AXP: Closed near session highs; momentum intact if 351s hold.
– ISRG: AH push toward 530 suggests a probe of overhead supply if 527–528 holds.
– Also constructive if markets stay risk-off in metals/EV: TSLQ (inverse TSLA), GDXD (inverse gold miners).
Strong bullish signals today:
– GSIT, MEC, AXON showed classic 30-min uptrends and strong closes.
– AXP, ISRG printed controlled pullbacks and reclaimed highs into/after the close.
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing setups)
GSIT
– Key supports (demand zones):
– 12.50 pivot
– 12.42–12.45 (19:00 ET low)
– 12.30–12.33 (18:30 ET low)
– Key resistances (supply zones):
– 12.90–12.93 (19:30 ET high)
– 13.00 (psych)
– 13.20 (stretch/psych above intraday range)
– 30-min outlook next 2–3 days:
– Base above 12.50 → push into 12.90–13.00. A clean hold over 13.00 opens a momentum extension toward 13.20.
– Failure back under 12.42 likely retests 12.30 liquidity.
– 1–3 day price targets:
– T1: 12.95–13.00
– T2: 13.20
– T3: 13.50 (stretch if momentum broadens)
– Entry ideas:
– Starter on 12.50–12.55 pullback with tape strength.
– Add on reclaim/hold over 12.90 or early push through 13.00 with volume.
– Stop-loss:
– 12.28–12.30 (below demand) or tighter 12.42 if trading breakout adds.
–
MEC

– 16.29–16.30 (14:30–15:00 ET reaction zone)
– 16.14
– 16.05
– Key resistances:
– 16.52 (session high area)
– 16.60 (psych/micro supply)
– 16.75 (upper supply/next extension)
– 30-min outlook next 2–3 days:
– Look for a shallow dip to 16.20–16.30, then a retest of 16.52. A sustained hold above 16.60 targets mid-16.70s.
– 1–3 day price targets:
– T1: 16.60
– T2: 16.75–16.85
– T3: 17.10 (stretch if volume persists)
– Entry ideas:
– 16.20–16.30 pullback buy; or 16.55 reclaim/hold.
– Stop-loss:
– 16.05 (beneath demand and intraday higher low).
–
AXON

– 355.00 (upper daily supply/psych)
– 30-min outlook next 2–3 days:
– Holding 351s favors a grind into 353–355. A loss of 350 likely delays the move and traps longs.
– 1–3 day price targets:

Risk management and execution notes
– Liquidity: Several small caps (GSIT, MEC) had solid prints but still require disciplined sizing; slippage risk rises outside regular hours.
– Confirmation: For each setup, look for early-session confirmation via higher lows on 5–15 minute charts and volume expansion on pushes through the first hour’s high.
– If the broader market opens risk-off, favor the more defensive/relative-strength names (AXON, AXP, ISRG) and the inverse trades (TSLQ, GDXD). If risk-on, favor GSIT/MEC continuation and be selective with inverses.
– Always reassess if supports fail on above-average volume; momentum theses degrade quickly in that case.
