Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-10-22 from 10:00 to 15:30. Note: The dataset provided contains only today’s intraday 30-minute bars; no 30-day daily history was included. Where “daily” supply/demand is requested, I’ve anchored to today’s session high/low and nearby round-number zones as proxies. Targets are based on today’s intraday range (as a stand-in for short-term ATR).
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis:
– Technology/Software and Cybersecurity showed late-day accumulation and relative strength:
– Cybersecurity led: CRWD pressed to new session highs into the close (500.63 HOD), CYBR closed strong above 501 (HOD 502.25).
– Large-cap software mixed/slightly constructive: INTU, ADSK, ADBE were mostly range-bound; NOW held steady near 936. HUBS firmed intraday. WDAY was weaker.
– Storage/Semis: STX trended up all afternoon, closing near highs.
– Financials broadly steady to firm:
– Card networks/credit: AXP advanced into the close; V was range-bound; MA drifted lower late. COF firm intraday but cooled into the close. LPLA trended higher.
– Industrials/Defense showed selective strength:
– RTX broke higher late to 177.86 close; ZBRA bid into the close; GD was flat-to-soft. ROP, ITW faded.
– Energy/services improved: HAL accelerated last 90 minutes, closing near HOD (26.61).
– Healthcare/Biotech/CROs mixed-to-strong:
– NTRA stair-stepped higher and held gains; CRL, REGN modestly firm; MEDP broke out intraday, slight pullback into the close. HUM and CI faded modestly.
– REITs/Real Assets: PLD ground higher; PSA flat-to-slightly up.
– Consumer Discretionary/Travel/Luxury: LULU and RL edged higher; EXPE and BKNG were flat; RACE popped midday then cooled.
– Small/micro caps were illiquid and choppy (OMSE, TLSI, BNR, SVRA, MEC, ELDN, ABLV, VHC, KMTS) — not attractive for 1–3 day momentum given liquidity.
Noticeable patterns:
– Broad late-day strength concentrated in cyber (CRWD, CYBR), selective financials (AXP, LPLA), energy services (HAL), defense (RTX), and storage (STX). Multiple names closed near HOD with expanding last-hour volume — a favorable setup for 1–3 day momentum continuation.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days):
– Most likely to continue up: CRWD, CYBR, NTRA, HAL, RTX, STX, AXP
– Strongest bullish signals: CRWD (HOD close with higher highs), CYBR (closing drive above 500), HAL (power trend late with volume), RTX (late breakout continuation), NTRA (orderly uptrend day and strong close).
Individual Stock Analysis (for likely upside 1–3 days)
Note: Supports/resistances use today’s session levels and round-number zones. Entries are pullback-based; stops sit just below demand.
1) CRWD
– Supports: 499.0–498.0; 496.1; 493.1–491.7
– Resistances: 500.6 (HOD); 503.0; 507.0–512.0
– 30-min forecast: Look for a shallow pullback into 498–499 to hold; if reclaimed quickly, expect a push through 500.6 and continuation into 503–505. Failure below 496.1 opens 493.5 retest before any bounce.
– 1–3 day targets (based on today’s ~9-point intraday range): 503.0, 507.0, stretch 512.0
– Entry: 498.2–499.2 on dip-and-hold or 501.0–501.5 breakout+hold above 500.6
– Stop: 494.5 (tighter) or 491.4 (under session low) depending on risk
–
2) CYBR
– Supports: 500.4; 499.0; 498.2
– Resistances: 502.25 (HOD); 505.0; 508.0
– 30-min forecast: Expect a retest of 500–501. If buyers defend that shelf, a quick push to 502.3–503 is likely; hold above 503 can open 505–506. Lose 499 and a slow-down/coil likely first.
– 1–3 day targets (today’s ~4-point range): 503.5, 505.5, 508.0
– Entry: 500.4–501.0 retest and hold; alt: 502.4 breakout with volume
– Stop: 498.6 (tight) or 497.9 (looser below session base)
–
3) NTRA
– Supports: 186.9–187.0; 186.6; 184.5–184.2
– Resistances: 188.75 (HOD); 190.0; 192.0–193.0
– 30-min forecast: Constructive flag above 186.8–187.2. A push over 188.8 targets 190–191. A controlled pullback to 186.6 that holds keeps setup intact; lose 186.5 and 185 tests likely first.
– 1–3 day targets (today’s ~4.9-point range): 189.5, 191.0, 192.5–193.0
– Entry: 186.8–187.2 on dip hold; alt: 188.9 breakout with follow-through
– Stop: 185.7 (tight) or 184.2 (beneath demand)
–
4) HAL
– Supports: 26.02; 25.88; 25.73
– Resistances: 26.61 (HOD); 26.80; 27.00
– 30-min forecast: Strong late ramp. Favor a modest pullback toward 26.10–26.25; if defended, expect a probe of 26.60–26.80. Sustained bids above 26.80 opens 27.00+. Failure back below 26.00 would neutralize momentum.
– 1–3 day targets (today’s ~0.88 range): 26.70, 26.90, 27.20
– Entry: 26.10–26.25 buy-the-dip; alt: 26.62 breakout with rising volume
– Stop: 25.85 (beneath demand)
–
5) RTX
– Supports: 177.5; 176.7; 176.3
– Resistances: 177.94 (HOD); 178.50; 179.50–180.00
– 30-min forecast: Late-day breakout suggests continuation if 177.2–177.5 holds. A quick tag above 178 could accelerate toward 178.5–179.5. Lose 176.7 and expect a pause/mean reversion first.
– 1–3 day targets (today’s ~2.2 range): 178.2, 178.9, 179.8–180.0
– Entry: 177.2–177.6 on a controlled dip; alt: 178.0–178.1 breakout
– Stop: 176.35
–
6) STX
– Supports: 213.0–213.2; 212.23; 210.97
– Resistances: 214.17 (HOD); 215.00; 216.5–217.0
– 30-min forecast: Trend-up day likely continues if 212.9–213.2 holds. Break/hold above 214.2 invites 215+; rejection could mean a higher-low build around 212.8–213.0.
– 1–3 day targets (today’s ~4.9 range): 214.2, 215.5, 216.8
– Entry: 212.9–213.2 buy-the-dip; alt: 214.3 breakout with volume
– Stop: 211.9–212.2
–
7) AXP
– Supports: 351.2; 350.6; 349.2
– Resistances: 352.5 (HOD); 353.5; 355.0
– 30-min forecast: Gentle grind higher. If 351–351.4 holds on pullback, expect a test of 352.5; a clean break targets 353.5–355. Failure back through 350.6 likely produces a sideways day first.
– 1–3 day targets (today’s ~3.3 range): 352.8, 353.8, 355.2
– Entry: 351.0–351.4 on dip hold; alt: 352.6 breakout confirmation
– Stop: 349.9
–
Additional names with constructive tones (watchlist, no full plan here): PLD, IQV, MEDP, MCK, ZBRA.
Risk notes:
– With only one session provided, confirmation on the next open is important. Favor A+ setups that hold today’s demand zones on light pullbacks and break prior session highs on expanding volume.
– Size positions so a single stop-out costs a fixed, small percent of equity. Avoid illiquid small caps for this 1–3 day momentum approach.
