Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window)
– Data window analyzed: 2026-01-12, roughly 10:30–17:30 EST (30-minute bars; most names have 14:00–16:00/17:30 coverage). The last 30 days and last 10 days of daily candles were not provided; the takeaways below focus on today’s session structure and relative strength by peer group.
Key sector takeaways from today’s price/volume
– MedTech/Diagnostics and Life Science Tools showed steady afternoon bids and closes near highs: TMO, IDXX, BDX, MEDP. This group had clean higher-lows into the close; TMO and IDXX led with range expansion.
– Software/EDA outperformed into the bell: CDNS and SNPS pushed to session highs; CRM and INTU held constructive. Semi-cap equipment was mixed to soft (ASML modest, AMAT flat, LRCX faded late, NVMI faded).
– Industrials/Building products constructive: TT broke higher late. Building products and home-related names firmed into the close (DHI, LEN, TOL, BLD; HD, LOW up late). Aggregates steady (MLM, VMC).
– Ratings/data strong: SPGI and MCO both trended up with rising 30-minute volume — a sign of institutional buying.
– Transports mixed: ODFL pushed to HODs while SAIA faded. JBHT firm.
– Precious metals weak: FNV, RGLD drifted lower; AEM flat to soft. Suggests defensive metals lagged today.
– Select services/financials steady: CBOE, AON, AMP, ACN firmed late.
– High-beta/AI/space mixed: JOBY/RKLB/CVNA mostly flat after initial moves; OKLO heavy liquidity earlier, then equilibrium.
Noticeable intraday patterns
– Many leaders showed “late-day push + hold” (higher highs into 15:30–16:00 with closes near HODs): TMO, IDXX, AXON, SPGI, CDNS, TT, ODFL. This is classic 1–3 day momentum fodder.
– Mixed semis points to EDA/software leadership over equipment/cyclical chips (CDNS/SNPS > LRCX/NVMI/AMAT).
– Builders and home improvement set higher lows and closed firm (DHI/HD/LOW/BLD), a constructive tell for that complex.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to continue higher based on today’s 30-minute structure and closing posture:
– TMO, AXON, IDXX, SPGI, CDNS, TT, ODFL
Strongest bullish signals: TMO, IDXX, AXON, SPGI (range expansion, closes near HOD on rising late volume; clean intraday higher-low sequences).
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: With no 30-day daily data provided, “daily” support/resistance and ATR are inferred from today’s session structure, round-number pivots, and an intraday-range proxy. Treat targets as tactical 1–3 day swing references and adjust to your own ATR/daily levels if available.
1) TMO (Thermo Fisher)
– Intraday context: Trend day up from ~608 to 616; strong 15:30 ramp; close near highs.
– Supports (daily/obvious zones using today’s structure): 612.4 (15:00 close zone), 609.7, 607.6 (session low area)
– Resistances: 616.2 (HOD), 617.5 (AH print), 620.0 (round)
– Intraday range proxy ≈ 8.6
– 2–3 day path: If 612–613 holds on dips, look for a push through 616.2 toward 617.5 then 620–621. Failure back below 609.7 risks a fade to 607–608 before buyers try again.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 612.8–613.3 with reversal wicks
– Momentum: Through 616.3 on rising volume
– Stops: 608.9 (below S2); conservative swing stop 606.8 (below S3)
– Targets (1–3 day):
– T1: 616.2–616.8
– T2: 617.8–618.2
– T3: 620.5–621.5 (round + ~0.5x intraday range)
2) AXON
– Intraday context: Stair-step up; strong 15:30 drive to 631.8 then push to 635 at the close/AH.
– Supports: 631.7, 628.7, 627.2
– Resistances: 635.0, 638.0, 640.0–642.0 zone
– Intraday range proxy ≈ 8.2
– 2–3 day path: Above 631.7, a sustained break/hold over 635 opens 638 then 640–642. Lose 628.7 and it likely backfills to 627s.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 632.0–632.5
– Momentum: 635.2+ with volume expansion
– Stops: 628.2 (beneath S2); wider swing 626.8
– Targets:
– T1: 638.0
– T2: 640.0–641.0
– T3: 642.5–644.0 (stretch, ~0.5x intraday range above 635)
3) IDXX
– Intraday context: Trend up all afternoon; HOD 725.53; close near highs.
– Supports: 720.2, 719.2, 717.3
– Resistances: 725.5, 730.0, 734.0–735.0
– Intraday range proxy ≈ 9.1
– 2–3 day path: Hold 720–721 pullbacks to set a base for 725.5 breakout toward 730 then 734–735. A break below 717.3 would neutralize momentum.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 721.0–722.0
– Momentum: 725.7–726.2 break on volume
– Stops: 718.8; swing 716.8
– Targets:
– T1: 730.0
– T2: 733.0
– T3: 734.5–735.5
4) SPGI
– Intraday context: Persistent bid; higher highs into the bell; volume increased late.
– Supports: 543.15, 542.68, 541.41
– Resistances: 544.57 (HOD), 545.5–546.0, 548.0
– Intraday range proxy ≈ 3.6
– 2–3 day path: Dips that hold 543 area favor a grind over 544.6 toward 546 then 548. Lose 541.4 and momentum stalls.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 543.2–543.4
– Momentum: 544.7+
– Stops: 541.9; swing 541.2
– Targets:
– T1: 545.6
– T2: 546.8
– T3: 548.0–548.7
5) CDNS
– Intraday context: Firm uptrend; closed at HOD region; strong late-day volume.
– Supports: 323.5, 322.9, 322.2
– Resistances: 325.64, 327.0, 329.0–330.0
– Intraday range proxy ≈ 3.4
– 2–3 day path: Above 323.5, look for continuation through 325.6 toward 327 then 329–330. Back below 322.2 would cool the setup.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 323.6–324.0
– Momentum: 325.7–325.9 with volume
– Stops: 322.1; wider 321.7
– Targets:
– T1: 327.0
– T2: 328.2–328.8
– T3: 329.8–330.5
6) TT (Trane)
– Intraday context: Tight trend higher; breakout into the close to 385.36 and held.
– Supports: 384.2, 383.0, 382.9
– Resistances: 385.6–386.0, 388.0, 390.0
– Intraday range proxy ≈ 2.7
– 2–3 day path: As long as 383–384 holds, look for a push through 386 toward 388 then 390. Lose 382.9 and expect a fade toward 382–382.5.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 384.2–384.4
– Momentum: 386.1+
– Stops: 382.8; swing 382.2
– Targets:
– T1: 387.6–388.0
– T2: 389.2
– T3: 390.5–391.0
7) ODFL
– Intraday context: Healthy run to 173.93 HOD; slight dip into close but structure intact.
– Supports: 172.87, 172.39, 172.17
– Resistances: 173.58, 173.93, 175.00
– Intraday range proxy ≈ 2.6
– 2–3 day path: Hold 172.8–173.0 and reclaim 173.6 for a retest of 173.9, then 175. A close under 172.2 would caution for a deeper backfill.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 172.9–173.1
– Momentum: 173.6–173.7
– Stops: 172.1; swing 171.9
– Targets:
– T1: 173.9–174.0
– T2: 174.6
– T3: 175.0–175.4
Notes and risk management
– Because full 10–30 day daily context and ATRs were not provided, levels/targets use today’s structure and round-number confluences. If you have your own 20–30 day ATRs and daily supply/demand zones, blend them with the intraday pivots above for sizing and scaling.
– Execution: Favor pullback entries at/just above S1 with evidence of buyers (wick holds, delta shift) or momentum entries through R1 on rising volume. Keep initial risk modest; scale partials at T1/T2 and trail under higher lows.
– Invalidation: A decisive close back below S2 (on expanding volume) usually negates the immediate 1–3 day momentum.
If you want, send the last 30 daily candles or 10-day summaries for these tickers and I’ll refine the higher-timeframe zones and ATR-based targets precisely.
