Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-10-16 from 12:00 to 15:30 on 30-minute intervals, based on the data provided. Note: The feed includes only intraday bars for the most recent session; 30-day and 10-day aggregates were not provided, so the commentary infers near-term context from today’s price/volume footprints.
- Semiconductors and AI hardware were broadly weak intraday. SOXL slid from 41.13 to 39.78 with heavy volume; MPWR faded from 1023 to ~1018; KLAC lost ~10 points off the mid-day bounce; NVMI failed to build on a 14:30 bounce; AEIS, AMBA, MKSI, CAMT, ICHR all trended lower. This points to short-term risk-off in chips despite occasional mid-session recoveries. Tickers referenced: SOXL, MPWR, KLAC, NVMI, AEIS, AMBA, MKSI, CAMT, ICHR.
- Mega-cap tech also leaned soft-to-mixed. GOOG/GOOGL slipped after a 14:30 bounce; META couldn’t hold 709+ into the close; TSLA bounced intraday but closed below the 13:30 open. Tickers: GOOG, GOOGL, META, TSLA.
- Industrial/electrical and EMS names showed relative resilience. GNRC pushed to an afternoon high near 191.47 before a modest close; JBL broke out through 210.55 and held most of the gain; HUBB and ROK were steady; URI faded late. Tickers: GNRC, JBL, HUBB, ROK, URI.
- REITs trended lower into the close, consistent with rate-sensitive pressure. EQIX and PLD both slipped. Tickers: EQIX, PLD.
- Biotech was mixed and choppy. IDCC (wireless IP) closed on highs; IMNM stair-stepped higher into the close; KRYS and REGN faded; several small/mid caps (CGEM, ABVX, STOK, MRSN) were weak. Tickers: IDCC, IMNM, KRYS, REGN, CGEM, ABVX, STOK, MRSN.
- Precious metals: GLD was relatively stable; AGQ (levered silver) sold off and could be forming a near-term pivot base. Tickers: GLD, AGQ.
- Discretionary/consumer mixed. MCD flat; DKS slipped late; BOOT reclaimed intraday losses; AZO had a thin but positive bias. Tickers: MCD, DKS, BOOT, AZO.
- Energy/alt energy and ag: BE was volatile with deep intraday swings; GPRE and BG were soft. Tickers: BE, GPRE, BG.
- Crypto miners: BTDR remained highly volatile and heavy. Ticker: BTDR.
Notable intraday patterns
– Persistent sell-the-rip in semis and large-cap tech with late-day fades.
– Relative strength pockets in industrials/electrical (GNRC, JBL), idiosyncratic strength in IDCC, steady accumulation feel in IMNM, and a stable GLD.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to move up (relative-strength candidates):
– JBL – Clean intraday breakout and hold above 210 with rising volume on the push.
– GNRC – Higher highs into late session; orderly pullbacks bought.
– IDCC – Closed on highs, reclaiming all dips; thin but persistent demand.
– IMNM – Higher lows and firm close near session highs; constructive.
– GLD – Defensive bid intact; stable tape amidst broader weakness.
Strongest bullish read-through: JBL and IDCC on structure; IMNM for steady accumulation; GNRC for trend continuation.
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing plan)
Important: Daily support/resistance zones below are inferred from today’s swing highs/lows and nearby round-number pivots given lack of multi-day candles in the feed. Entries, stops, and targets use these levels and recent intraday ranges.
1) JBL
– Daily-like support zones: 209.50 (post-breakout shelf), 208.60 (14:00 low), 207.20 (session dip zone).
– Daily-like resistance zones: 210.55 (session high), 212.00 (round/pivot), 214.00 (stretch target).
– 30-min price path view (2–3 days): Expect an initial retest of 209.5–210 acting as demand; if bid holds, push toward 211.8–212.5. Continuation could reach 213.8–214.5 on day 2–3 if market tone improves.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 211.80; T2 212.50; T3 214.50 (stretch).
– Entry ideas: 209.70–210.10 on a controlled pullback or 210.60–210.80 on strength above HOD with volume.
– Stop-loss: 207.90 (below shelf and intraday structure). For aggressive entries, 208.40.
–
2) GNRC
– Daily-like support zones: 190.25 (intraday shelf), 189.30 (13:30 low area), 188.85 (14:00 pivot).
– Daily-like resistance zones: 191.47 (session high), 193.00 (round/pivot), 195.00 (upper supply).
– 30-min price path view (2–3 days): Look for 190.2–190.9 retests to hold; strength through 191.5 opens 192.5 then 193.5–194.5. Pullbacks should be shallow if trend is intact.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 192.50; T2 193.60; T3 195.00.
– Entry ideas: 190.80–191.00 on a higher-low retest; or 191.60–191.80 on breakout confirmation.
– Stop-loss: 189.70 (beneath structure); conservative stop 188.80.
–
3) IDCC
– Daily-like support zones: 365.90 (15:00 close pivot), 364.08 (15:00 low), 362.81 (session low).
– Daily-like resistance zones: 366.65–367.04 (intraday highs cluster), 369.50 (minor air pocket/round), 372.00 (upper target zone).
– 30-min price path view (2–3 days): Strong close suggests continuation through 366.7–367 first; holding above 365.9 keeps bulls in control. Momentum pushes could tag 369.5 then 371–372.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 367.50; T2 369.50; T3 372.00.
– Entry ideas: 365.90–366.40 retests with tight risk; add above 367.10 on volume.
– Stop-loss: 364.40 (beneath last higher low). Wider swing stop: 362.70.
–
4) IMNM
– Daily-like support zones: 16.03 (15:00 pivot), 15.85 (14:00 support), 15.73 (session floor).
– Daily-like resistance zones: 16.16–16.20 (closing highs), 16.35 (continuation pivot), 16.55–16.80 (upper targets).
– 30-min price path view (2–3 days): Expect a modest dip buy near 16.00–16.05; a firm push through 16.16 should attract momentum to 16.30–16.55. If broader tape helps, 16.80 possible.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 16.30; T2 16.55; T3 16.80.
– Entry ideas: 16.02–16.08 on pullback; or 16.18–16.22 on breakout and hold.
– Stop-loss: 15.79 (below the 15.85 demand zone). Tighter risk traders can use 15.89.
–
5) GLD
– Daily-like support zones: 394.50 (intraday shelf), 394.06 (14:30 low), 393.13 (14:00 flush low).
– Daily-like resistance zones: 395.36–395.54 (session highs), 396.00–396.20 (round/overhead), 397.50–399.00 (higher supply band).
– 30-min price path view (2–3 days): If 394.5 holds, look for re-tests of 395.4–395.6; a break and hold over 395.6 opens 396.2, then 397.5–399 on defensive flows or macro headlines.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 395.60; T2 396.20–396.50; T3 397.50–399.00 (stretch).
– Entry ideas: 394.60–394.90 on pullback; add above 395.60 on acceptance.
– Stop-loss: 393.90 (below session structure); wider swing stop 393.10.

Risk and execution notes
– Market context today favored risk-off in semis and large-cap tech. If that persists, long setups may need selective sizing and quicker profit-taking.
– For breakout entries, wait for 30-min acceptance above levels with expanding volume and minimal wick rejections.
– If indices gap down, prefer buying pullbacks into the first support zone with a hard stop; if they gap up into resistance, avoid chasing until you see a clean flag/ABCD on 5–30 min.
If you want, share the 30-day daily candles or ATR values, and I’ll refine the daily zones and ATR-based targets precisely.
