Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed: 2025-09-24 from 13:30 to 19:30)
- Semis and Semi-Equipment (INTC, KLAC, AMAT, ASML, MPWR): Mixed but with selective strength. INTC stair-stepped higher all session into the after-hours, closing at session highs (~31.94) with rising prints in the final 30-min bar — accumulation signal. KLAC pressed to the RTH high into the close (1069.5) and held most gains. AMAT/ASML were flat-to-muted. MPWR faded from mid-day highs and could be a source of funds rotating into more liquid/value semis (INTC).
- Biotech/SMID Health (QURE, CLPT, CDTX, RAPT, SION, NTLA, IMNM): Rotation into select mid-cap names. QURE accelerated late, reclaiming 50 and closing near session highs (50.28). CLPT trended cleanly higher through 20. CDTX printed strong late-session highs (88.85). RAPT/SION pushed higher into the close. NTLA slipped, showing relative weakness.
- Crypto miners and Quantum/AI small-caps (IREN, QBTS, QUBT, RGTI, QUBX, QPUX): Whipsaw day. Early fades stabilized late; IREN bucked the group with persistent higher highs into 49.1. The quantum cohort (QBTS/QUBT/RGTI) bounced off intraday lows but remain below earlier highs — needs confirmation.
- Energy Storage/EV adjacencies (FLNC, EOSE, STEM): Mixed. FLNC bid up and held 11.60–11.76; EOSE leaked slightly; STEM remained soft. Group momentum is tentative.
- Infrastructure/Industrial/Defense (PWR, FIX, STRL, AVAV, TDG): Mostly consolidating-to-softer tone into the close (PWR, FIX, STRL faded intraday), with AVAV weaker. Not the day’s leadership.
- Nuclear/Uranium theme (OKLO, LEU, LTBR): Volatile and mixed. OKLO saw a deep sell then a late bounce; LEU/LTBR drifted lower. No unified push.
Notable patterns
- Accumulation into the close: INTC, KLAC, QURE, CLPT, CDTX, IREN.
- Late-day reversal bounces but still under resistance: QBTS, QUBT, RGTI, OKLO.
- Lagging/soft: AVAV, MPWR, NTLA, EOSE, STEM, infra trio (PWR/FIX/STRL).
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 trading days)
Most likely to continue up:
- INTC, KLAC, QURE, CLPT, IREN, CDTX
Strongest bullish signals right now:
- QURE: Late push through 50 with follow-through and rising prints.
- INTC: Persistent higher highs/lows on 30-min and closing at HOD region with expanding volume late.
- KLAC: Strong close near day highs in a quality equipment leader.
Individual Stock Analysis
INTC
- Supports: 31.75 (intraday higher low), 31.58 (VWAP-ish demand band observed via repeated prints), 31.22 (session floor/low).
- Resistances: 31.95 (print cap), 32.10 (round/overhead supply), 32.50 (next daily supply zone).
- 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Preferred path is a dip-and-rip: brief pullback into 31.75–31.85, then push >31.95 toward 32.10–32.25. If 32.10 converts to support, look for a day-2 extension toward 32.50.
- Targets (1–3 day): T1 32.10; T2 32.50; stretch 32.90 if momentum broadens in semis.
- Entries: 31.75–31.85 on a controlled pullback; or momentum add on 31.98–32.05 reclaim with volume.
- Stop: 31.45 (below 31.58 demand band); tighter traders 31.55.
KLAC
- Supports: 1064.7 (intraday HL cluster), 1063.9 (RTH demand), 1060.0 (round).
- Resistances: 1069.5 (RTH high), 1071.1 (session spike), 1075.0 (round/daily supply).
- 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Ideally holds above 1064–1066 and rotates through 1069.5–1071.1. A clean break/hold above 1071 opens 1075–1080 in a strong tape.
- Targets (1–3 day): T1 1071; T2 1075; stretch 1080–1083 if semis bid.
- Entries: 1064.7–1066.0 on a dip; breakout add through 1070–1071 with sustained tape.
- Stop: 1062 (below demand shelf); conservative 1059.
QURE
- Supports: 49.00 (pivot), 48.55 (intraday floor), 48.00 (round demand).
- Resistances: 50.48 (AH high), 51.00 (psych), 52.00 (next daily supply).
- 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Look for an opening back-test of 49.0–49.3 that holds, then a drive through 50–50.5. Momentum names can overshoot if volume persists.
- Targets (1–3 day): T1 50.50; T2 51.50; stretch 52.50 on strong biotech tape.
- Entries: 49.10–49.40 on a controlled dip; or 50.10–50.30 on breakout/hold.
- Stop: 48.40 (beneath demand); aggressive traders 48.75.
CLPT
- Supports: 19.70 (intraday base), 19.60 (reload level), 19.45 (session floor).
- Resistances: 20.35 (AH peak), 20.80 (upper supply), 21.50 (daily round supply).
- 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Bullish channel intact. Expect minor dip to 19.70–19.85, then a push back to 20.20–20.35. Above 20.35 opens 20.80.
- Targets (1–3 day): T1 20.35; T2 20.80; stretch 21.50 if flows broaden in biotech.
- Entries: 19.70–19.85 pullback tag; momentum add above 20.35 with volume.
- Stop: 19.40 (beneath base).
IREN
- Supports: 48.65 (higher low), 48.41 (intraday support), 48.10 (demand).
- Resistances: 49.15 (AH high/offer), 49.50 (minor supply), 50.50 (daily supply/psych 50–51 band).
- 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Trend remains constructive. If 48.65 holds, look for a grind through 49.15–49.50. Crypto-tied names can gap with BTC — position sizing matters.
- Targets (1–3 day): T1 49.50; T2 50.00–50.50; stretch 51.50 on a crypto risk-on day.
- Entries: 48.65–48.85 on dips; or 49.20–49.30 on breakout/hold.
- Stop: 48.05 (below demand); tighter 48.30 for momentum entries.
CDTX
- Supports: 88.00 (intraday demand), 87.37 (session low), 87.00 (round).
- Resistances: 88.85–89.00 (late high/psych), 90.00 (major psych), 92.00 (next daily supply).
- 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Strong late-session push. Expect a brief check-back toward 88.0–88.3; if that holds, a retest of 88.8–89.0 and then 90.0 is in play.
- Targets (1–3 day): T1 89.00; T2 90.00; stretch 92.00 on follow-through.
- Entries: 88.00–88.30 on a controlled pullback; add through 89.00 on volume.
- Stop: 87.20 (below session low zone).
Notes on risk and execution
- The levels above are derived from the provided 30-minute prints and obvious round-number supply/demand zones. With only this session’s data, favor buying pullbacks into support and taking partials into each target.
- If the broader market risk tone flips (e.g., semis gap down), prioritize relative strength lists (INTC/KLAC in semis; QURE/CLPT/CDTX in biotech; IREN in miners) and avoid laggards.
- For small/mid caps, scale entries and use hard stops — liquidity can thin outside RTH.
Bonus watchlist (needs confirmation above resistance before inclusion): INTW > 35.90–36.00 continuation; QURE already covered; BKKT > 20.00 hold for momentum; OKLO only above 130.9 with tight risk given volatility.
