Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range covered)
– Data reviewed: 2026-02-05 from roughly 11:00 to 16:00 EST (varies by symbol; most include 13:30–16:00 30‑minute bars).
– Scope note: Only intraday bars for Feb 5 were provided; no 30‑day history. Conclusions below emphasize the last 5–10 intraday bars (i.e., the most recent “10 days” equivalent in this dataset) and end‑of‑day order flow.
Sector/industry read-through from price/volume:
– Industrials/machinery broadly faded into the final hour on heavier volume: ITW, ETN, DE, CAT, LECO, WAB, WSO, GE, WCC, LFUS saw mid‑afternoon pushes met with offers into 15:30–16:00. Two standouts that held firm were TT (closed near HOD) and URI (reclaimed dips late).
– Transports mixed with selective strength: CHRW powered to the highs on a closing ramp with a notable volume spike; LSTR modestly higher; SAIA recovered; FDX and JBHT range‑bound; UPS slipped in the final print.
– Refiners/Energy tilted constructive: PSX, VLO, MPC all pressed higher into the close; PSX closed at session highs.
– Packaging/Paper outperformed: IP stair‑stepped up all afternoon to close at the HOD; PKG firm; LPX faded but BCC firmed.
– Consumer: Big‑box (WMT, TGT) faded late; home improvement (HD, LOW) also saw end‑day supply. Beauty standout ULTA reclaimed and closed near highs on elevated last‑bar volume.
– Communications/Telecom positive: TMUS climbed steadily and printed a 16:00 high; VZ slipped marginally; CHTR constructive.
– Healthcare/Biopharma mixed with large‑cap strength: AMGN broke higher into the bell; UTHR bled lower; BIO flat.
– Financials/Insurance slightly soft: AON, CB, KNSL faded; PNC/MTB flat to modestly higher.
Notable intraday patterns into the close (momentum tells):
– Closing near highs with rising volume (bullish continuation setup): CHRW, AMGN, ULTA, TMUS, IP, PSX, MOD, CDW.
– Late‑day fades on heavier volume (near‑term digestion): ITW, ETN, GWW, WMT, LOW, HD, WAB, LECO, PPG.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 sessions)
– Most likely to continue up: CHRW, AMGN, ULTA, TMUS, IP, MOD
– Also constructive (watchlist): PSX, CDW, TT, URI
– Strongest bullish signals: end‑of‑day range expansion + close near HOD with above‑average last‑bar volume: CHRW, AMGN, ULTA, MOD; steady, orderly climbs with higher lows: TMUS, IP.
Individual Stock Analysis (targets use today’s intraday range as a proxy for short-term ATR)
1) CHRW
– Key support (daily/intraday zones): 196.50; 196.00–196.20; 195.70–195.90
– Key resistance: 197.43 (close); 197.89 (HOD); 198.80–199.80 (extension)
– 30‑min outlook (2–3 days): Today’s range ≈ $2.2. Holding above 196.9–197.2 early favors a push through 197.9 toward 198.8. A clean 198 break can magnet 199.5–199.8 within 1–2 sessions. Lose 196.0 intraday and expect a backfill to 195.7 before buyers likely reattempt.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 197.9; 198.8; stretch 199.8
– Entry idea: 196.0–196.3 pullback or 197.95 momentum break/retest
– Stop-loss: 195.4 (tighter); or 194.9 (looser beneath session low cluster)
2) AMGN
– Key support: 367.50–367.80; 366.07; 365.00
– Key resistance: 369.00 (HOD); 370.00; 372.00
– 30‑min outlook: Range ≈ $4. If 368–368.5 holds bid early, look for 369–370 test; acceptance >370 opens 371.5–372 in 1–2 sessions. Failure to hold 367.5 likely revisits 366–365 where dip buyers stepped in.
– Swing targets: 370.0; 372.0; stretch 374.0
– Entry idea: 367.5–368.0 pullback; or 370.1 breakout/retest
– Stop-loss: 365.4 (below intraday demand); conservative 364.9
3) ULTA
– Key support: 674.7; 673.8; 671.7
– Key resistance: 678.3 (HOD); 680.0; 682.5–685.0
– 30‑min outlook: Range ≈ $6.6. Above 676–677 early should re‑tag 678–680; hold >680 and 682.5–685 comes into play within 1–3 sessions. Lose 673.5 and price likely checks 671.7 where buyers responded.
– Swing targets: 678.5; 681.0; stretch 684.5
– Entry idea: 674.5–675.0 pullback to prior demand; or 678.4 break/retest
– Stop-loss: 671.4 (beneath session low zone)
4) TMUS
– Key support: 201.3–201.5; 201.0; 200.46
– Key resistance: 202.45 (close); 202.91 (HOD); 203.5–205.0
– 30‑min outlook: Range ≈ $2.45. Constructive higher‑low sequence; sustained >202.0 favors 202.9 retest, then 203.6. A firm daily close above 203.5 sets up 204.5–205.0 in 1–3 days. Sub‑201 returns price to 200.5 pivot.
– Swing targets: 202.9; 203.6; stretch 205.0
– Entry idea: 201.4–201.8 pullback; or 202.95 breakout/retest
– Stop-loss: 200.8 (beneath higher‑low structure)
5) IP
– Key support: 44.24–44.32; 44.00; 43.97
– Key resistance: 44.50 (HOD); 44.75; 45.00
– 30‑min outlook: Range ≈ $0.87. Persistent stair‑step higher with strong close; above 44.35–44.40, expect 44.50 tag and continuation toward 44.75. A daily close >44.75 puts 45.00 in play within 1–2 sessions. Lose 44.20 and a reset toward 44.00 likely gets bought.
– Swing targets: 44.75; 45.00; stretch 45.40
– Entry idea: 44.20–44.30 pullback; or 44.52 break/retest
– Stop-loss: 43.95 (below round‑number demand)
6) MOD
– Key support: 205.0–205.4; 204.9; 203.2–202.6
– Key resistance: 206.75–206.84 (HOD/close); 208.00; 210.00
– 30‑min outlook: Range ≈ $5.3 with strong close and late volume expansion. Holding >205.5–206.0 favors push through 206.8 toward 208; sustained strength can reach 209.5–211 across 1–3 sessions. Sub‑205 opens a check to 204–203.5 where demand emerged earlier.
– Swing targets: 208.0; 209.5; stretch 211.0
– Entry idea: 205.0–205.5 pullback; or 206.9 break/retest
– Stop-loss: 203.9 (beneath intraday base); conservative 202.9
Also constructive, but secondary (watch for confirmation)
– PSX: Breakout close at HOD (154.42). Supports: 153.7; 153.2; 152.8. Resist: 154.44; 155.0; 156.0. Consider buy 153.8–154.0, stops ~153.1, targets 155.0/155.8/156.8.
– CDW: Late surge to 140.86. Supports: 139.7; 139.2; 138.95. Resist: 141.0; 141.8; 143.0. Buy 139.7–140.0, stop ~138.9, targets 141.0/141.8/143.0.
Notes on risk and execution
– Targets lean on today’s intraday ranges as a short-term ATR proxy; adjust sizing if early volatility expands.
– Favor pullback entries to support with defined stops; if chasing breakouts, wait for a break and retest on 30‑min to avoid false moves.
– Liquidity is adequate in the highlighted names; avoid thin issues for momentum swings unless you can tolerate slippage.
If you want me to extend this with actual 30‑day and 10‑day level maps and ATRs once you provide that history, I’ll refine levels and probability weighting per ticker and sector.
