Datetime range analyzed (ET): 2025-10-08 from 12:00 to 15:30 ET across 30-minute bars. Note: The data provided is intraday for one session; no 30-day history was included. Conclusions below emphasize the most recent session’s 30-minute structure and the last ~2–3 hours of price/volume behavior as a proxy for short-term momentum.
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis:
– Mega-cap tech and software showed mild risk-on late-day strength: SHOP pushed to new session highs into the close; CRM and GOOG grinded higher; MSFT was steady. Semis showed relative strength with an afternoon surge in ARM and a late push in MPWR.
– Defense/aerospace was mostly flat-to-soft: LMT, GD, NOC traded in tight ranges and finished near flat.
– Healthcare mixed/sideways: LLY, AMGN, UNH, HUM and CI were generally range-bound; CI ticked higher, while others chopped with low directional conviction.
– Cyclicals/Industrials underperformed: URI faded and could only retrace modestly; CMI and A also slipped intraday; ALB (materials/lithium) was weak most of the afternoon.
– Crypto-complex was risk-off mid-session, then bounced late: Miners and proxies (IREN, CIFR, HIVE, WGMI, BKCH) sold off early afternoon and reclaimed levels into the close—constructive for a 1–2 day bounce if crypto stabilizes.
– Small/mid-cap momentum mixed: SLDP ramped strongly with rising volume; ONDS reclaimed VWAP and closed near HOD; KOPN spiked late. Conversely, high-beta names like QBTS, RGTI, RCAT had heavy distribution then partial bounces—still volatile and headline/BTC-sensitive.
– EV/clean-tech was mixed: BEEM trended down; OUST and EVEX stabilized/rebounded modestly.
Noticeable patterns:
– Late-day accumulation in select tech/semis (SHOP, ARM) and energy-adjacent/speculative tech (SLDP, ONDS, KOPN) vs. defensive sectors staying quiet. Watch for continuation moves from names that closed near HOD on expanding volume.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days):
Most likely to continue higher (bullish continuation setups):
– SHOP, ARM, SLDP, ONDS, KOPN, IREN
Secondary watch (constructive but thinner/early): EVEX, BZAI
Individual Stock Analysis (momentum longs, 1–3 day swing plans)
Note: “Supports/Resistances” derived from obvious intraday supply/demand pivots and round-number magnets; “targets” use nearby resistance and approximate range extensions from today’s realized 30m structure.
1) SHOP
Setup: Strong afternoon trend with higher highs/higher lows; closing near HOD with steady volume.
– Key supports: 165.45, 165.21, 164.81
– Key resistances: 167.48 (HOD area), 168.50, 170.00
– Next 2–3 days: Expect early pullback toward 166–165.5 to test demand; above 166.8, look for a squeeze through 167.5 toward 168.5; sustained strength could magnetize 170.
– Entries: 165.6–166.2 on a controlled pullback; or momentum add on 167.55–167.60 break with volume.
– Stops: 164.70 (beneath last higher low); tighter momentum stop 165.05 if adding through HOD.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 167.5, T2 168.5, T3 170.0 (range extension).
2) ARM
Setup: Sharp late-day breakout from ~160s to 164+, strong participation; closed near highs.
– Key supports: 163.00, 161.80, 160.65
– Key resistances: 164.38 (intraday high), 165.50, 167.00
– Next 2–3 days: Healthy dip to 162.8–163.2 can fuel a push through 164.4; hold above 164 on 30m closes opens 165.5–167.
– Entries: 162.9–163.3 retest; or 164.45 breakout with rising 30m volume.
– Stops: 160.90 (below breakout base); tighter 162.10 if trading the breakout.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 164.4, T2 165.5, T3 167.0.
3) SLDP
Setup: Trend day up with rising volume, closing near highs—classic continuation candidate.
– Key supports: 6.29–6.25, 6.17, 6.08
– Key resistances: 6.42–6.45, 6.60, 6.80
– Next 2–3 days: Look for brief consolidation above 6.25–6.30; a clean 30m close above 6.45 targets 6.60 then 6.80.
– Entries: 6.25–6.32 pullback; or 6.46–6.48 breakout with volume confirmation.
– Stops: 6.05 (below demand shelf); aggressive 6.17 if tightly managed.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 6.45, T2 6.60, T3 6.80.
4) ONDS
Setup: Morning fade flipped to afternoon reclaim; finished near session highs with strong volume context—setup for day-2 continuation.
– Key supports: 11.30–11.20, 11.00, 10.94
– Key resistances: 11.70, 12.00, 12.50
– Next 2–3 days: Prefer buy-the-dip into 11.20–11.30 with higher lows on 30m; through 11.70, momentum could step up toward 12–12.5.
– Entries: 11.22–11.32 pullback; or 11.72 push with volume.
– Stops: 10.90 (below base); tighter 11.05 if buying the breakout.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 11.70, T2 12.00, T3 12.50.
5) KOPN
Setup: Late spike with strong volume off intraday base; small-cap momentum profile.
– Key supports: 3.50, 3.40, 3.38
– Key resistances: 3.52–3.55, 3.60, 3.75
– Next 2–3 days: Expect volatility; hold above 3.40 keeps the breakout structure intact; reclaim and hold 3.55 on 30m can drive tests of 3.60/3.75.
– Entries: 3.45–3.48 pullback into prior breakout; or 3.55 reclaim with volume.
– Stops: 3.35 (under shelf); tighter 3.41 for momentum adds.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 3.55–3.60, T2 3.75, T3 3.95 (if momentum broadens).
6) IREN
Setup: High-beta crypto miner: heavy mid-day selloff, solid late bounce; continuation depends on crypto tape, but structure supports a short-term push.
– Key supports: 60.60–60.75, 60.00, 59.12
– Key resistances: 61.21, 61.60, 62.19
– Next 2–3 days: If BTC stabilizes, look for 30m higher lows above 60.6 and a push through 61.2; sustained above 61.6 sets up 62.2+.
– Entries: 60.6–60.9 pullback; or 61.25 break with crypto strength confirmation.
– Stops: 59.80 (beneath demand); tighter 60.30 if chasing a breakout.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 61.20, T2 61.60, T3 62.20–62.50.
Secondary watchlist (constructive but thinner/liquid-risk higher):
– EVEX: supports 4.65/4.63, resistances 4.74/4.85/5.00; dip-buys 4.65–4.68, stop 4.61, targets 4.85/5.00.
– BZAI: supports 5.12/5.10, resistances 5.24/5.35/5.50; dips 5.12–5.15, stop 5.05, targets 5.35/5.50.
Risk management notes:
– If the broader market or sector tape flips risk-off, prioritize A+ setups (SHOP/ARM) and tighten stops.
– For crypto-linked names (IREN), gauge BTC/ETH intraday direction; avoid fighting crypto beta.
– For small caps (KOPN, ONDS), size smaller and honor stops—range can expand quickly.
