Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2026-02-03, 11:00 to 16:30 using 30-minute bars from your upload. Note: The file did not include 30-day or 10-day history; I infer near-term momentum and participation from today’s price/volume and late-day flow, which in short-term swing trading often drives 1–3 day follow-through.
Overall sector and industry analysis
– Industrials led with broad late-day accumulation and many closes at/near highs: GE, CAT, HON, TT, WTS, LECO, ROK, NPO, MOD, ARW, AVT, RRX. Volume expanded into the 15:30–16:00 bar across most of these, a hallmark of fund buying and potential multi-day continuation.
– Defense stayed firm: NOC and LMT held up, with NOC pushing toward HOD late.
– Materials/Metals showed relative strength: GOLD broke out and closed on highs; NEU ramped into the close.
– Communications mixed-to-constructive: CHTR pushed steadily higher into the bell; TMUS was heavy mid-day but stabilized.
– Semis/Components mixed: LFUS broke to new session highs with accumulation; TXN recovered late but faded post 16:00 print; VIAV stair-stepped higher and printed fresh highs into the close.
– Financials steady: AON/CB in tight, upward channels; MBIN bounced off intraday lows; BAP range-bound.
– Small caps/microcaps were bifurcated: WALD, TOYO, LNKS, AGH squeezed late; QBTZ and RGTZ unwound.
Notable intraday patterns
– Broad 15:30 ramp and “close at/near HOD” in many industrials and select materials (GE, CAT, HON, TT, WTS, LFUS, GOLD, CHTR). That specific combo—range expansion + late demand—often sees 1–3 day momentum follow-through.
– Distributors (ARW, AVT) and comms equipment (VIAV) also showed constructive closes.
– Weak tapes: QBTZ, RGTZ (risk-off into the bell), suggesting select speculative unwind.
Ticker performance prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely upside follow-through candidates based on strong closes with volume:
– GOLD, LFUS, WTS, HON, TT, GE, CAT, CHTR
Strongest bullish signals: GOLD, LFUS, WTS, TT, HON (decisive closes at highs with expanding late volume).
Individual stock analysis and trade plans
Note on levels: Without your daily history, I’m anchoring levels to today’s intraday structure (HOD/LOD, round numbers) that often align with near-term daily supply/demand. Confirm these against your daily chart before execution.
GOLD (Materials – Gold)
– Supports: 51.95; 51.65–51.72 zone; 51.20
– Resistances: 52.79 HOD; 53.00; 53.50
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Prefer early pullback to 51.95–52.10, hold VWAP, then push through 52.80–53.00; if accepted above 53, momentum can extend into 53.5–54 over 1–3 days.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 53.20; 53.80; stretch 54.20 if gold bid persists.
– Entries: 52.05–52.20 pullback; or 52.85–53.05 breakout/hold above 53.
– Stop: 51.60 (beneath demand and session higher low); wider swing stop 51.20.
–
LFUS (Electronic Components)
– Supports: 329.60; 327.60–327.90; 325.30
– Resistances: 331.98 HOD; 333.50; 336.00
– 30-min outlook: Look for a shallow dip to 329.6–330.5 and continuation to 333–336. Strong tape if first pullback is bought quickly.
– Swing targets: 333.50; 336.00; stretch 339–340 on momentum.
– Entries: 330.0–330.8 on back-test; or 332.1–333.0 on confirmed breakout/hold over 332.
– Stop: 327.40 (below last higher low); conservative 325.20.

WTS (Industrial – Water)
– Supports: 300.66; 300.00; 299.50
– Resistances: 304.21 HOD; 305.50; 307.00
– 30-min outlook: Expect an early check-back to 300.6–301.2, then grind above 304.2. Acceptance over 305.5 opens 307–309 in 1–3 days.
– Swing targets: 305.50; 307.00; stretch 309.00.
– Entries: 301.0–301.8 pullback; or 304.30–304.70 breakout/hold.
– Stop: 299.40; wider 298.90 if you size down.

HON (Industrial Conglomerate)
– Supports: 229.45; 228.90; 228.70
– Resistances: 231.29 HOD; 232.00; 233.50

– Entries: 230.00–230.40 on a VWAP/back-test; or 231.40–231.70 on a high break and hold.
– Stop: 228.70; wider 228.20 if aiming for 235.

– Supports: 434.00; 433.00; 431.90
– Resistances: 436.14 HOD; 438.00; 440.50
– 30-min outlook: Momentum continuation setup. Minor dip into 433–434 then higher; reclaim/hold above 436.1 should magnet 438–440.5 within 1–3 days.
– Swing targets: 438.00; 440.50; stretch 443–445 if Industrials stay bid.
– Entries: 433.8–434.5 pullback; or 436.3–436.7 high break/hold.

– Swing targets: 311.50; 312.80; stretch 314.00.
– Entries: 308.7–309.2 pullback; or 310.20–310.80 reclaim/hold.

– Swing targets: 215.00; 217.00; stretch 220.00 on strong breadth.
– Entries: 211.0–211.6 pullback; or 214.10–214.50 breakout/hold above prior high.

Additional notes and risk management
– Today’s late-day accumulation (the 15:30 bar surge and closes near HOD) is the key bullish tell across these names. In my 1–3 day momentum playbook, I expect early pullbacks into prior breakout levels to be bought if the broader tape stays firm.
– If breadth or futures turn risk-off, favor only the strongest patterns (GOLD, LFUS, TT, WTS) and demand cleaner “pullback-and-hold” confirmations before entries.
– ATR/targets: Without your 10–30 day ATRs, I set targets near visible supply plus a modest extension. If your 14-day ATRs are larger, you can expand targets proportionally; if smaller, scale them back.
If you want, send over the last 30 days of daily bars or a 10-day 30‑minute history for these tickers and I’ll refine the support/resistance zones, ATR-based targets, and confidence scores per name.
