Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Datetime range analyzed (EST): Primarily Dec 12, 2025 from 13:30–15:30, with a few prints earlier in the session and sparse data from Dec 10–11 on a handful of tickers.
– Note on lookback: The upload is intraday-heavy for the latest session; 30-day context is limited. The commentary below emphasizes the most recent 1–3 sessions (especially the last 10 trading days by inference) and the 30-minute chart structure.
Sector/industry takeaways from price/volume:
– Insurance (P&C/Life) showed relative strength and steady demand into the close:
– Leaders: KNSL, CB, RGA, HCI, MKL. KNSL pressed a late-day high (389.62) and held most gains; CB stair-stepped to the highs (308.46); RGA closed near HOD (203.23). This is classic “risk-off, quality bid” with stable flows into insurers.
– Defense/Aerospace mixed, with selective leadership:
– NOC grinded to session highs into the last hour (569.6). LHX, LMT, HII were flat-to-soft. Relative strength favored higher-quality/visibility names like NOC.
– Precious Metals/Royalties consolidated to slightly lower:
– RGLD, FNV, WPM, NEM, PAAS traded heavy-to-sideways with late fades. Momentum cooled; rotational flows weren’t favoring the complex intraday.
– Financials (Banks/Brokers/AMs) were generally soft:
– GS, PNC, MTB, AXP, BLK, APO, LPLA, EVR, PIPR weakened through the afternoon. However, the insurance sub-sector (above) outperformed within Financials.
– Tech/Software: uninspired breadth and light momentum:
– CRM and EPAM held up modestly; INTU/FFIV were heavy/sideways; SPOT faded late; CFLT pinned tightly around 30 with outsized liquidity (options pin/magnet behavior).
– Consumer/Retail and Travel were weak:
– BURL, ASO, VSCO and DPZ faded; CVNA and LAD sold steadily. BKNG/EXPE were flat-to-soft.
– Industrials/Materials mixed-to-soft:
– DOV, WSO, SPXC, CRS, ATI mostly range-bound to heavy; no broad leadership.
– Micro/small-cap biotech and illiquid names saw sporadic spikes with low reliability for 1–3 day swings due to depth/spreads.
Net: Rotation into insurers and selective defense (NOC) while cyclicals, banks, precious metals, and much of tech were offered. The strongest short-term long setups are in the insurance complex and NOC.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to push higher near term:
– KNSL, CB, RGA (Insurance strength/continuation)
– NOC (Defense relative strength, HOD grip)
– CHE (Healthcare services—late-day high close)
– JLL (Commercial real estate services—strong intraday uptrend and firm close)
Stocks showing the strongest bullish signals: KNSL, NOC, CB, CHE
Individual Stock Analysis
Format per name:
– Key daily zones (support/resistance): derived from today’s HOD/LOD, round-number pivots, and intraday supply/demand.
– 30-min outlook (next 2–3 trading days), swing targets (both near overhead resistance and an approximate daily ATR move), entry and stop ideas.
– Finviz shortcode at the end.
1) KNSL
– Key support: 387.6–387.2 (intraday demand), 386.9–386.7 (higher-timeframe buyers stepped in), 385.5 (round-number cushion).
– Key resistance: 389.62 (HOD supply), 390.0 (psych level), 392.0–396.0 (ATR extension/supply).
– 30-min outlook: Expect a morning dip toward 387.6–386.9 to be bought; sustained reclaim above 389.6 opens a 390–392 breakout path. Continuation likely if pullbacks remain shallow above 386.7.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 390.0, 392.0, stretch 396.0 (approx 1–2% ATR).
– Entry: 387.6–387.2 on constructive pullback; add on 389.7 breakout/retest.
– Stop: 386.4 (beneath demand and higher low structure); tighter traders can use 386.8 if breakout adds are used.
2) CB
– Key support: 308.0–307.6, 307.43 (session low), 306.9 (deeper demand/round).
– Key resistance: 308.46 (HOD), 309.5, 311.0–311.5 (ATR/swing supply).
– 30-min outlook: Stair-step trend with higher lows. Above 308.5, look for a 309.5 test; acceptance there targets 311+. A dip to 307.6–307.9 that holds should set up a trend continuation day.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 309.5, 310.6, 311.5 (roughly 0.5–1% daily range).
– Entry: 307.7–308.0 on pullback; add through 308.5–308.6 on strength.
– Stop: 307.05 (below day’s demand shelf).
3) RGA
– Key support: 202.3 (VWAP/demand cluster), 201.66 (intraday low), 201.2 (round-number cushion).
– Key resistance: 203.23 (HOD), 203.8–204.2, 205.0 (upper swing supply).
– 30-min outlook: Momentum close. Expect a quick probe of 203.2–203.8; consolidation above 202.9 favors a push toward 204–205 within 1–3 days. Failure to hold 202.3 likely means a backfill to 201.6 demand before another attempt.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 203.8, 204.2, 205.0.
– Entry: 202.3–202.6 first buy zone; add on 203.25–203.30 breakout/retest.
– Stop: 201.55 (below session low and demand).
4) NOC
– Key support: 568.7 (late demand), 567.6, 566.7 (intraday higher low cluster).
– Key resistance: 569.6 (HOD), 571.5, 573.5–575.5 (ATR extension/supply).
– 30-min outlook: Strong relative strength into the close. Above 569.6, momentum can carry toward 571.5 then 573.5–575. Dips to 568–568.5 that hold should be bought for continuation.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 571.5, 573.5, 575.5 (~0.5–1.2%).
– Entry: 568.0–568.5 on pullback; add on 569.7 breakout/retest.
– Stop: 566.4 (below session demand and trend anchor).
5) CHE
– Key support: 427.3–427.1, 426.5, 426.0 (layered intraday demand).
– Key resistance: 428.83 (HOD), 430.5–431.5, 433.5–434.0 (ATR/swing).
– 30-min outlook: High close with persistent bids. Expect an early test of 429–430. Holding above 427.3 keeps the breakout structure intact for a 431–434 run in 1–3 sessions.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 429.8, 431.5, 433.8.
– Entry: 427.3–427.6 pullback; add on 428.9–429.0 reclaim.
– Stop: 426.2 (beneath the stacked demand).
6) JLL
– Key support: 331.2–331.5, 330.75–330.56 (intraday demand), 330.0 (psych).
– Key resistance: 332.97 (HOD), 333.5, 335.0–336.0 (supply band).
– 30-min outlook: Steady intraday bid; above 333 opens 334.2 and 335.8. A controlled dip to 331.2–331.5 that’s bought sets up a measured move higher over 1–3 days.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 333.0, 334.2, 335.8.
– Entry: 331.2–331.5; add through 333.0 on strength.
– Stop: 330.4 (below demand shelf).
Notes and risk management
– The dataset lacks full 30-day context; levels above are anchored to the latest daily supply/demand defined by today’s 30-min structure and nearby round numbers.
– For 1–3 day swings, keep risk tight. If any name loses its first demand shelf on rising volume (especially the first support listed), expect either a deeper backfill to the next support or failed-breakout behavior—reduce/add back only on reclaim.
– If the tape gaps up meaningfully on any of these tickers, prefer buying the first tight bull flag above prior resistance rather than chasing the open. If it gaps down into support on light volume, watch for reversal wicks at the cited zones before entering.
