Notable intraday trends/patterns by group
– Rotation to high-quality defensives and asset-light cash engines (COST, MA, EQIX) while high-beta semis faded (AMD, TSM, MU).
– Biotech/pharma showed end-of-day accumulation (LLY, REGN, MDGL), typical of funds positioning ahead of catalysts/turn of year.
– Low-liquidity small caps showed chop and late-day sellers (AAOI, BE, LEU), suggesting selectivity remains key.
Tickers most likely to rise in the next 2–3 days
– EQIX, COST, MA, LLY, REGN, TDG
– Strongest bullish signals: higher-high/higher-low structure on 30-minute, close near HOD, late-session volume expansion vs prior half-hours, and clear relative strength vs SPY.

Quick tactical notes
– Confirmation: For all names, look for 30-minute close above prior bar’s high on rising volume to confirm continuation.
– Risk management: Keep initial risk tight (0.3–0.6% below support for large caps here) given the neutral SPY backdrop and recent semis softness.
– Avoid: Chasing semis (AMD, TSM, MU) until they reclaim intraday VWAP and set higher lows on 30-minute; their late-day fades argue patience.
