Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-10-24, roughly 12:00–16:30 ET across the combined 30-minute bars you provided.
Scope note: The upload contains only intraday bars for 2025-10-24. Without daily history, I can’t quantify 30-day or last-10-day trends/ATR precisely. The sector takeaways and levels below lean on intraday structure, obvious round-number zones, and late-day volume behavior. If you can share daily aggregates for the last 30 sessions, I’ll refine the higher-timeframe zones and ATR-based targets.
Sector/industry read-through:
– Energy Services weak and heavy into the close: OIH rolled to session lows; HAL, PTEN, BORR, RIG all faded with notable late-day volume. CLB also cooled after an intraday pop. Bias: near-term pressure remains unless OIH reclaims 279–280 (tickers: OIH, HAL, PTEN, BORR, RIG, CLB).
– Large-cap Tech/Software mixed-to-soft late: AAPL, MSFT, NOW, SPOT, TEAM, HUBS, MSCI, ADBE slipped into the close; ZS/CRWD held better (CRWD near the day’s upper third). Bias: choppy; relative-strength preference to CRWD/ZS vs broad software (tickers: AAPL, MSFT, NOW, SPOT, TEAM, HUBS, MSCI, ADBE, ZS, CRWD).
– Medical Devices/MedTech mixed, with selective strength: SYK closed firm near intraday highs; LII and WAT/TMO (life science tools) firmed late; ISRG/WST faded. HUM bid within Managed Care; REGN/VRTX flat-to-soft. Bias: rotation into quality large-cap medtech/services (tickers: SYK, LII, WAT, TMO, ISRG, WST, HUM, REGN, VRTX).
– Financials/Payments weak: MA, V, AXP, COF slipped; insurers CB/TRV flat; FCNCA steady but thin. HUM (managed care) was a bright spot. Bias: payments leaning lower near term (tickers: MA, V, AXP, COF, CB, TRV, HUM, FCNCA).
– Industrials/Capital goods mostly soft-to-flat: MMM, DOV, HON eased; DE/TDG held better; KLAC/MPWR (semis/equipment) faded late. Bias: selective rotation into high-quality aero/defense (tickers: MMM, DOV, HON, DE, TDG, KLAC, MPWR).
– Consumer Discretionary/travel soft: LULU and RL were flat-to-down; RCL weakened late; COST drifted (tickers: LULU, RL, RCL, COST).
Noticeable intraday patterns:
– Broad “late-day sell-into-weakness” in cyclicals, payments, and energy services.
– Selective accumulation into the close in a few quality growth/medtech names (SYK, LII, CACI, WAT) and a software mid-cap breakout (PEGA).
– Relative-strength standouts on the 30-min tape: SYK, CACI, LII, WAT, VICR, HUM, PEGA; resilient: CRWD.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to push higher 1–3 days (momentum candidates):
– SYK, CACI, LII, WAT, VICR, HUM, PEGA
Strongest bullish signals:
– SYK: Closed near highs after steady grind; higher lows all afternoon; clean over/under levels nearby.
– CACI: Strong closing ramp with volume through 585; shallow pullbacks held.
– LII: Late-day power back above 496; buyers defended every dip.
– WAT: Higher close with ramp into final bar; tight intraday structure.
– PEGA: Breakout through 66 on expanding volume late.
– HUM: Range expansion to 290.6 with strong last 30-min bar.
– VICR: Higher lows and close above 90; constructive risk/reward over 90.
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Support/resistance includes intraday pivots and obvious round-number zones that often align with daily supply/demand in absence of the 30-day daily tape. Use your platform’s daily chart to validate the higher timeframe confluence and ATR. Targets include a conservative (near-term S/R) and an extension (use your 14D ATR to size T2/T3 expectations).
1) SYK
– Supports: 381.50, 380.37, 379.50
– Resistances: 382.34, 384.00, 386.50
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Prefer a brief dip-and-go. If 381.5 holds on an opening test, look for a push through 382.34 toward 384. Momentum continuation over 384 opens 386.5.
– Entries: 381.6–381.9 on pullback; add on reclaim of 382.4 with volume.
– Stops: 379.9 (below 380 shelf). Tighter traders: 380.3 if entry is near 381.8.
– Targets: T1 384.0; T2 386.5; T3 389–390 if daily ATR supports a 1–1.25R extension.
2) CACI
– Supports: 582.00, 581.60, 580.00
– Resistances: 588.96, 590.00, 595.00
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Strong close suggests continuation if 582–583 holds. Break/hold above 589–590 targets 592–595.
– Entries: 582.5–583.5 pullback; momentum add on 589.0 break with uptick in volume.
– Stops: 579.9 (beneath ramp base).
– Targets: T1 589–590; T2 592.5–595; T3 600 area if ATR favors a larger 1–3 day move.
3) LII
– Supports: 494.50, 493.30, 492.20
– Resistances: 496.30, 500.00, 505.00
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Late-day strength; a hold above 494.5 favors a retest of 496.3 and a round-number magnet at 500. Over 500, momentum can trend.
– Entries: 494.8–495.5 on dip; add through 496.4 breakout.
– Stops: 491.9–492.2 (below session low cluster).
– Targets: T1 496.3–497; T2 500.0; T3 505 if trend persists and ATR allows.
4) WAT
– Supports: 358.10, 357.50, 356.80
– Resistances: 359.66, 361.00, 362.50
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Tight base with late ramp. Hold above 358 opens 359.66 retest and a drift to 361+. Needs volume through 360–361 to extend.
– Entries: 358.1–358.5 on controlled pullback; add on 359.7 reclaim with volume.
– Stops: 356.9 (below base).
– Targets: T1 359.7; T2 361.0–361.5; T3 362.5–364 on an ATR expansion day.
5) PEGA
– Supports: 65.80, 65.74, 65.50
– Resistances: 66.35, 67.00, 68.00
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Breakout candle late with volume. Expect a retest of 65.8–66.0; if buyers defend, look for 66.35 and then 67+. Momentum above 67 could carry to 67.8–68.
– Entries: 65.9–66.1 on pullback; add on 66.35–66.40 break.
– Stops: 65.45 (below breakout base).
– Targets: T1 66.35; T2 67.00; T3 67.8–68.2 with ATR tailwind.
6) HUM
– Supports: 289.50, 288.85, 288.50
– Resistances: 291.03, 292.50, 295.00
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Late-session range expansion. If 289.5 holds, expect a 291 test; through 291, 292.5 comes into play, then 295 on strength.
– Entries: 289.7–290.0 on dip; add through 291.1 break.
– Stops: 288.3 (below demand shelf).
– Targets: T1 291.0; T2 292.5; T3 294.5–295 if momentum broadens in Managed Care.
7) VICR
– Supports: 90.00, 89.77, 89.48
– Resistances: 90.77, 91.00, 92.00
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Constructive higher lows and close >90. A hold above 90 targets 90.77/91; extension potential to 92 with volume.
– Entries: 90.0–90.2 on dip; add through 90.8–91.0.
– Stops: 89.35–89.45 (below session pivot).
– Targets: T1 90.8–91.0; T2 91.8–92.0; T3 92.8–93.5 if ATR allows.
Additional quick notes on other liquid names you may be watching
– CRWD: Relative strength in software; watch 529–530 for continuation. Support 526.4–526.8. A hold above 527 could set 531–533.
– CLB: Intraday pop, but late fade. Needs 16.90–17.00 reclaim for upside.
– CCI/REITs/EQIX: EQIX slipped late; needs 843–845 reclaim to neutralize weakness.
– Energy services (OIH/HAL/PTEN/BORR/RIG): Countertrend bounces possible, but momentum still to the downside until OIH reclaims 279–280.
Risk management and ATR usage
– Size targets using your platform’s 14-day ATR. T1 aligns with nearby resistance; T2 generally approximates ~0.75–1.0x ATR beyond entry if momentum confirms; T3 requires trend confirmation and broader market risk-on tone.
– In a soft broad tape, prefer partials at T1/T2 and trail stops below rising 30-min higher lows.
If you can share the last 30 daily candles, I’ll tighten the daily supply/demand zones and convert the ATR guidance above into precise dollar targets.
