Anticipation Breakout Tuesday 12/09/2025

December 9, 2025 4 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range reviewed: 2025-12-05 13:30 to 2025-12-09 15:30)
– Semiconductors/microelectronics: Mixed breadth with notable strength in semi-cap equipment and timing names. Leaders: KLAC (+ into close, near HOD 1230.2), ONTO (late push to 164.0), SITM (breakout push to 370.3). Laggards/soft: TXN, ADI, MCHP (slightly heavy), MPWR (faded late). ASML/AMAT largely flat. This reads as selective risk-on within higher-quality semi equipment/timing while core analogs consolidated.
– Software/AI: Broad tech steady-to-mixed. MSFT flat-to-firm; SNPS/CDNS ground higher; CRM stable. AI cohort choppy: PLTR range-bound; PATH sold; IOT stabilized. CFLT pinned. Net: no broad software thrust, leadership is selective and quality-biased.
– Industrials/EE: Large-cap industrials leaned soft: CAT, ETN, PH, HUBB, GNRC, CMI all bled modestly. EME pulled back. Defensive bid absent here; rotation away from industrials remains in effect short term.
– Financials: Stable to firm. GS edged up; FCNCA and HIFS held/lifted while COF faded intraday. Suggests steady risk tolerance, not euphoric.
– Consumer/internet: Mixed. DASH stair-stepped higher; DUOL firm; MCD small bid. Soft: HOOD, CVNA, BURL, DLTR, FIVE mostly heavy/sloppy.
– Energy/Uranium and “new energy”: UEC strong (firm bid, held gains), URAA ETF popped midday; LEU tried to extend. Theme has relative strength versus broader tape.
– Space/eVTOL/alt aero: Strong group tone with volume: RKLB ripped into close; ASTS, EVTL, JOBY, ACHR had up days. Risk-on subsector, with continuation potential if momentum persists.
– Takeaway: Rotation favors selective growth/semicap equipment, uranium/space, and quality megacap tech; industrials and some consumer beta were funded.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely upside continuation candidates (momentum + relative strength + late-day closes):
– ONTO, SITM, KLAC (select semi-cap/timing strength)
– RKLB (space momentum)
– UEC (uranium strength; URAA confirmation)
– IONQ (held gains post-push; high-beta continuation setup)
– DASH (steady grind higher into close)
– GS (financial leadership, steady trend)

Strongest bullish signals: ONTO, SITM, KLAC, RKLB, UEC

Individual Stock Analysis
Note: The dataset provided is intraday 30-min snapshots, not full 30-day daily bars. Key levels below use today’s intraday supply/demand and obvious nearby daily zones; verify on your daily chart for confluence.

Context and risk notes
– Many names provided only had intraday snapshots; confirm the 30-day daily supply/demand zones on your charts for added confluence.
– If QQQ/SOX weaken, semi breakouts (ONTO/KLAC/SITM) can retest deeper supports first. Use staged entries and adhere to stops.
– High-beta tickers (IONQ, RKLB, UEC) can overshoot levels intraday; size accordingly and trail on 30‑min structures.
