Anticipation Breakout Wednesday 1/07/2026

January 7, 2026 4 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Analyzed intraday 30-minute bars from 2026-01-07 11:00–15:30 EST across your universe. Note: I only received today’s intraday slices; I do not have full 30-day daily candles. Levels and ATR-based targets below are derived from today’s ranges and common momentum frameworks. If you can share the last 30 daily bars, I’ll refine the daily zones and ATRs.

  • Defense/Aerospace: Broad, high-volume selloff after 14:00 ET. Examples: LMT cratered 531→~500, GD 360→348, HII 373→358, LHX 321→312, XAR and DFEN both faded. Tone: risk-off in defense.
  • Semis/Chip equipment: Mixed-to-soft for mega-caps (ASML, AMAT, KLAC, LRCX), but selective strength in power/analog names. Standouts: NVTS broke higher on heavy volume and closed near highs; WOLF firmed into the close. ACLS, MKSI, ONTO held okay; overall, rotation favors power/efficiency.
  • Uranium/Materials: Strong, coordinated bid all afternoon. CCJ broke to HODs; UEC, UUUU, NXE, DNN all finished firm with expanding volume. SCCO (copper) also constructive into the close.
  • Financials: Soft chop to the downside late day. GS, MS, COF, AXP faded; JPM flat-to-down. No bid for beta here.
  • Managed care/Healthcare: Mixed/slightly better: UNH and ELV steady; HUM faded late; ILMN stair-stepped up and closed near HOD; MEDP trended higher all session.
  • Industrials/CapEx: Weak into the bell. DE, PH, CMI, ROK, EME, WCC, RS, URI all slipped; cyclicals lagged.
  • Discretionary/Retail: Mixed. DLTR grinded up and closed near HOD; WING firm; BURL held gains; RH/CAVA choppy.
  • Crypto/AI/Spec: Miners mixed (RIOT small rally, HUT/APLD faded). Quantum/AI small caps weak (QBTX, QBTS, QPUX, ARQQ). Space/mobility mixed (RKLB faded, SPIR/OUST selective strength).

Noticeable trends
– Relative strength clusters: Uranium complex (CCJ, UEC, UUUU, DNN, NXE), power semis (NVTS, WOLF), select healthcare (ILMN, MEDP), a few discretionary (DLTR, WING).
– Relative weakness clusters: Defense/aerospace broadly, financials, heavy industrials, higher-beta AI/quantum.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely upside continuation candidates (strongest momentum/structure):
– CCJ, UEC, UUUU, DNN (uranium strength and closing momentum)
– NVTS (breakout + rising volume)
– DLTR (steady bid, near-HOD close)
– ILMN (clean intraday uptrend into HOD)

Secondary watch: SCCO, WOLF, MEDP, ONTO.

Individual Stock Analysis
Note: With only today’s intraday snapshots, “daily” supply/demand is approximated using today’s extremes, round numbers, and visible intraday congestion. Targets use today’s range as a proxy ATR.

1) CCJ
– Supports: 103.43–103.50 (15:30 pullback), 102.80 (14:30 pivot), 102.55 (14:00 intraday low zone)
– Resistances: 104.03 (HOD), 105.00 (round), 106.00 (extension)
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Expect a shallow pullback toward 103.6–103.8 then a push over 104 for continuation while uranium remains bid.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 104.80, 105.50, stretch 106.50
– Entries:
– Pullback: 103.60–103.80 with confirmation (higher low on 5–15m)
– Breakout: >104.10 on uptick volume
– Stop: 102.50 (beneath demand and session structure)

– Resistances: 14.55 (HOD area), 14.65–14.70, 14.90

– Swing targets: 14.55, 14.75, 14.95
– Entries: 14.30–14.40 risk-defined; add on >14.56
– Stop: 14.08–14.12 (under demand shelf)

– Resistances: 18.91 (HOD), 19.00, 19.20
– 30-min outlook: Expect a flag between 18.60–18.95 then breakout if uranium tape stays firm.
– Swing targets: 18.95, 19.15, 19.35
– Entries: 18.65–18.75 on pullback; or >18.92 break
– Stop: 18.40

Context and Risk Notes
– Sector tailwinds matter: uranium/materials bid and power semis strength favor continuation in the names above. Defense/financials/industrials show distribution—avoid long breakouts there until they rebuild.
– Today’s intraday range is used as a proxy for 1-day ATR. If you provide 30 daily bars, I’ll replace proxy targets with proper ATR-driven objectives and refine daily supply/demand zones.
– Tight risk management: If entries trigger but volume/relative strength fade (e.g., below VWAP on rising volume), honor stops and reassess.

If you want, send the last 30 daily candles (OHLCV) for the shortlist and I’ll update zones, ATRs, and probability-weighted scenarios.
