Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-12-24, 10:30–16:30
Note: The file contains intraday snapshots from the latest session only. Without the prior 30 trading days, I’m emphasizing the most recent session’s 30–60 minute developments as a proxy for short-term momentum. Holiday-thinned liquidity is evident across many names.
- Semiconductors/Tech (ASML, KLAC, LRCX, MU, TSM, SNPS, SMH/SOXX/QQQ/VGT): Broadly flat-to-firm consolidations, with mild late-session bids. MU stood out with a push into the close and continued after-hours uptick (to 288.40), signaling relative strength. ETFs (SOXX, SMH) were tight and quiet.
- Biotech/Pharma (EWTX, OMER, ABVX, KYTX, FOLD, MDGL, LLY, REGN): Mixed, but selective momentum in mid/small caps. EWTX printed an outsized volume expansion and trend day up; OMER showed steady higher highs/strong close. Larger caps (LLY, REGN) were range-bound to soft.
- Aerospace/Defense/Space (ASTS, RKLB, AVAV, ESLT, HII, HEI, HEI-A, XAR): Stable to constructive. ASTS and RKLB saw late-session demand and firm closes; larger defense names were contained ranges.
- Metals/Miners/Precious metals ETFs (GDXU, JNUG, AGQ, PPLT, USAU, HYMC): Bid through midday with some fade into late prints; overall a constructive tilt for precious metals/silver/platinum proxies (AGQ, PPLT, GDXU/JNUG).
- Industrials/Cap goods (EME, PH, HUBB, URI, CW, CMI, AYI, STRL, TDG): Mostly inside-day behavior with mild fades; no broad risk-off—more digestion.
- Discretionary/Retail (ULTA, BURL, MELI): Tight ranges; light volume; digestion.
- Misc small-cap tech/alt (SOC, OWLT, VOYG, RCAT, ONDS): SOC and OWLT showed actionable intraday momentum (range expansion + volume).
Noticeable patterns
– Quiet index/sector ETFs alongside selective momentum in biotech and space/telecom satellites (EWTX, OMER, ASTS, RKLB).
– Semis consolidated at/near highs (MU a relative strength standout).
– Metals proxies caught a bid (AGQ, PPLT, GDXU/JNUG), hinting dip-buying in precious complex.
Tickers most likely to rise in the next 2–3 days
– EWTX, OMER: Biotech momentum with volume confirmation and strong closes.
– MU: Relative strength within semis and bid into/after close.
– ASTS, RKLB: Late-day accumulation and firm closes in space/satcom theme.
– OWLT: Breakout behavior intraday with volume expansion.
– Secondary watch: SOC (continuation if 9.80–9.85 reclaims), GDXU/JNUG (if metals follow-through persists).
Individual Stock Analysis
EWTX
– Key support: 27.00–27.20 (post-spike base), 26.65, 25.60–25.80 (session low/major demand)
– Key resistance: 27.40 (intraday high), 28.00 (psych), 28.50–28.80 (stretch)
– 30-min outlook:
– Day 1: Expect an early retest of 27.00–27.20. Hold above -> push to 27.80–28.00.
– Day 2–3: Above 28.00 opens 28.50–28.80; failure back under 26.65 risks gap-fill toward 26.00s.
– Entry: 27.05–27.20 pullback; add on 27.40 break/hold
– Stop: 26.45 (beneath demand and spike base)
– 1–3 day targets: 27.90, 28.50, 29.10 (using ~1x–1.5x today’s range as ATR proxy)
OMER
– Key support: 15.00–15.10 (closing base), 14.85, 14.65
– Key resistance: 15.35, 15.50, 15.75–15.90
– 30-min outlook:
– Day 1: Hold 15.00 -> grind to 15.35–15.50; acceptance above 15.50 = momentum extension.
– Day 2–3: 15.75–15.90 test if volume persists; loss of 14.85 likely mean-revert to 14.65.
– Entry: 15.05–15.15 on a controlled dip; add on 15.35 reclaim/hold
– Stop: 14.78
– 1–3 day targets: 15.35, 15.55, 15.90
MU
– Key support: 286.60–286.80 (intraday demand), 286.20, 285.50
– Key resistance: 287.30 (R1), 288.40 (AH print), 289.50–290.00
– 30-min outlook:
– Day 1: Early dip to 286.8 that holds -> 287.8–288.4 retest. Break/hold 288.4 opens 289.5.
– Day 2–3: As long as >286.2, look for 289.5–291.0; below 285.5 risks a range backfill.
– Entry: 286.80–287.00 on dip; secondary add through 288.40 with tight risk
– Stop: 285.90
– 1–3 day targets: 288.40, 289.50, 291.00

– Day 1: Retest 15.10–15.20 and base -> 15.36/15.50. Quick failure below 14.95 risks deeper retrace.
– Day 2–3: If 15.50 holds as support, 15.90 print is on deck.
– Entry: 15.10–15.20; momentum add above 15.36

– GDXU/JNUG/AGQ/PPLT (metals): Continuation if opening holds prior session value; fade if early weakness under prior support.
Quick risk notes
– Many names showed holiday-thin prints. Favor liquidity (EWTX, MU) and clear intraday structures. Size down in thin names; use stops just beyond well-defined zones.
