Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window reviewed: 2026-01-14 13:00/13:30 to 15:30)
Context note: Only intraday 30-minute data for today was provided; the 10–30 day context isn’t visible here. The read below leans on today’s price/volume flows that often carry 1–3 sessions.
- Semiconductors/Hardware led on steady bids and late-day pushes: AMAT, TER, NXPI, ADI, TXN, WDC, APH, MPWR, SIMO showed higher highs into the afternoon and rising participation on pushes. ASML/NVMI were softer but orderly. Pattern: buy-the-dip, higher-lows, closes near HOD for several tickers (TER, NXPI, WDC, APH).
- Data center/REITs grinded higher: EQIX (steady stair-step) and COR (tight range, slight uptick). Pattern: low-volatility accumulation.
- Industrials mixed but leaders firm: CAT, PH, ROK, ETN, HUBB, PWR pushed late; URI faded. Pattern: rotation into quality capex beneficiaries; dips bought.
- Consumer/Travel resilient: HLT flirted with a 300 break; MAR firm; ULTA reclaimed intraday dips. Pattern: late-day demand near round-number breaks.
- Homebuilders/home-related softer: LEN, DHI, TOL, PHM, MTH, NAIL faded into the close; LPX/BLDR/OC/FBIN mixed. Pattern: distribution on bounces; sellers active into strength.
- Metals/miners strong midday then faded: AEM, FNV, HL, CDE, NGD, BVN; ETFs GDXJ/NUGT/GDXU, SIL/GLTR popped then gave back some gains. Pattern: momentum stalls near intraday highs; likely headline/FX-rate sensitive.
- Energy mixed: FANG and TPL faded late; GNRC (electrical equipment) firmed into close.
- Crypto miners mixed to heavy: IREN stabilized after a sell sweep; HIVE/ARBK soft. Pattern: supply overhead; bounces sold.
- Mega-cap tech steady: GOOG/GOOGL grinded up; TSLA choppy/net-flat. Pattern: digestion with upside bias.
Ticker Performance Prediction (likely upside follow-through in next 2–3 days)
– Strongest continuation setups (late-day strength + rising volume): TER, AMAT, NXPI, WDC, APH, EQIX, CAT, HLT, HTOO, RCAT.
– Honorable mentions (momentum runners; higher risk): PL, SATL.
Individual Stock Analysis (levels derived from today’s intraday pivots; confirm on your daily chart before trading)
AMAT
– Supports: 299.50; 298.50; 297.60
– Resistances: 301.30 (HOD); 303.00; 305.00
– 30-min view (2–3 day idea): Look for a 299.5–300 hold to press 301.3 → 303. If 298.5 fails, expect a 297.6 test before another attempt.
– Targets (using today’s range ~3.7 as proxy): T1 301.3; T2 303.0; T3 305.0
– Entry: 299.6–300.2 retest or quick reclaim over 301.4 on volume.
– Stop: Below 298.4 (tighter) or 297.4 (conservative).
TER
– Supports: 226.50; 225.00; 224.90 (session low)
– Resistances: 229.80 (HOD); 231.50; 233.50–234.00
– 30-min view: Momentum close; prefer a shallow pullback to 226.5–227.2 then push to 229.8 → 231.5. Strong tape can gap/flag and extend.
– Targets (range ~4.9): T1 229.8; T2 231.5; T3 233.8
– Entry: 226.8–227.5 or 230.0 breakout with volume.
– Stop: Below 225.0 (tighter) or 224.6 (beneath session low).
NXPI
– Supports: 238.00; 237.30; 236.00
– Resistances: 239.75 (HOD); 241.00; 243.00
– 30-min view: Closing near HOD suggests continuation toward 241–243 if 238 holds on dips.
– Targets (range ~4.0): T1 239.8; T2 241.0; T3 243.0
– Entry: 238.0–238.5 pullback or 239.8 pop-and-hold.
– Stop: Below 237.2 (tighter) or 236.0.
WDC

– Resistances: 217.53 (HOD); 219.00; 221.00
– 30-min view: Higher-low build; hold 216 to press 217.5 → 219. Failure under 214.3 risks deeper fill.
– Targets (range ~4.7): T1 217.5; T2 219.0; T3 221.0
– Entry: 216.1–216.6 or 217.6 breakout and hold.
– Stop: Below 214.2 (tighter) or 213.2.
APH
– Supports: 146.15; 145.47; 144.73
– Resistances: 147.36 (HOD); 148.00; 150.00

– Targets (range ~2.6): T1 147.4; T2 148.0; T3 149.5–150.0
– Entry: 146.1–146.6 pullback.

– Resistances: 796.65 (HOD); 800.00; 805.00

– Resistances: 300.17 (HOD); 301.50; 303.00
– 30-min view: Round-number magnet; acceptance over 300 could trigger a 301.5–303 push. Lose 297.5 and it likely bases first.
– Targets (range ~3.45): T1 300.2; T2 301.5; T3 303.0
– Entry: 299.5 reclaim after dip or 300.3 break with volume.

HTOO
– Supports: 4.76; 4.68; 4.55
– Resistances: 4.86 (HOD); 5.00; 5.20
– 30-min view: Strong close + expanding volume; watch for a quick tag of 5.00; pullbacks to 4.68–4.76 should find buyers if momentum persists.
– Targets (range ~0.35): T1 4.86; T2 5.00; T3 5.20
– Entry: 4.70–4.78 pullback or 4.87–4.90 pre-5.00 push (higher risk).

RCAT
– Supports: 13.28; 13.00; 12.70
– Resistances: 13.60 (HOD); 14.00; 14.50

– Resistances: 26.73 (HOD); 27.00; 27.50
– 30-min view: Multi-hour uptrend; a hold above 26.4 favors a 27 test; momentum names can overshoot quickly.
– Targets (range ~1.17): T1 26.73; T2 27.00; T3 27.50
– Entry: 26.40–26.55 pullback.
– Stop: Below 26.05.
Notes and risk management
– Given only today’s intraday data, treat the support/resistance zones as near-term pivots; align them with your daily levels before execution.
– For momentum names (HTOO, RCAT, PL), consider partial takes at T1/T2 and trail stops; these can reverse quickly.
– For larger caps (AMAT/TER/NXPI/WDC/APH/EQIX/CAT/HLT), stagger entries at support and keep stops just below the prior 30–60 min swing low; typical 1R ≈ 0.5–1.2x today’s intraday range in 1–3 sessions in the current tape.
If you want, send the last 30 trading days (daily OHLCV) for these tickers and I’ll refine the daily/ATR levels and broader 10–30 day trend context.
