Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Analyzed window (EST): 2025-11-21 09:00–11:00 with a few prior prints from 2025-11-20 after-hours. The commentary below leans on the intraday 30-minute structure you provided and short-term momentum context; levels and setups are derived from today’s tape.
Sector breadth skewed bullish, led by Healthcare/MedTech/Biotech:
– Biotech/Pharma and Managed Care posted coordinated strength: CELC, DNLI, ABBV, BIIB, UNH, CI all green with range expansion and strong participation. UTHR was a notable laggard.
– MedTech/Diagnostics broadly bid: TMO, SYK, WAT, BDX, PEN, DGX, LH, MCK advanced in a steady, institutional manner. Many printed higher highs through the morning and held gains.
– Consumer Discretionary showed risk-on appetite: ULTA and BURL pushed higher; HLT trended cleanly.
– Materials/Industrials constructive: SHW and LIN pushed up early and then flagged; DE advanced steadily.
– Tech/Comm Services firm: FICO and VRSN stair-stepped higher; TMUS held gains post-morning push.
– Financials steady: CB and CI grinded higher, liquidity good.
10-day momentum emphasis (from today’s behavior within recent context): healthcare leadership continues to dominate short-term rotations; quality growth and discretionary are participating. Patterns: morning expansions with constructive mid-morning consolidations (flags) in CELC, PEN, FICO, SHW, HLT, TXG—bullish continuation structures. Notable pullbacks were bought (ABBV, UNH), while weak names like UTHR faded intraday.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation candidates (strongest signals first):
– CELC – Power trend day, higher highs/lows, closing near HOD; rising participation. Bullish continuation favored.
– PEN – Near-HOD close and clean stair-step; room to extend if buyers hold 286–287.
– FICO – Trend intact; HOD test with shallow pullbacks suggests 1–2 more pushes if 1776–1780 holds.
– HLT – Trend day with tight pullbacks, higher highs; breakout over 272.7 could open 274–276.
– SHW – Morning breakout then tight flag; a push through 338.8–339 likely targets 340–342.
– TXG – Small-cap momentum with higher lows; break/hold above 17.30 can magnet 17.50 then 18.00.
Secondary watch (constructive but slightly less clean): BURL, ULTA, VRSN, DNLI, MCK, IQV, ABBV, UNH. Avoid/laggard: UTHR (weak tape today).
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing setups)
Notes:
– Support/resistance incorporate intraday pivots and nearby psychological levels (supply/demand zones).
– ATR approximations are inferred from today’s early range; targets use a mix of nearby resistance and partial ATR extensions.
– Entries: look for a higher-low confirmation on 5–15 minute charts or a break-and-hold above resistance with expanding volume.
CELC
– Supports (demand): 96.60 (11:00 low), 95.60–95.25 (10:00 close/9:30 close), 94.30–94.50 (10:30 low)
– Resistances (supply): 98.20 (HOD), 99.50, 101.00 (stretch)
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Prefer buy-the-dip above 96.5; sustained holds above 97.8–98.2 likely squeeze into 99.5–101. Failure back below 95.6 risks a retest of 94.3 demand.
– Targets (ATR ~5.5): 98.2–99.5 first, 101.0 next, 103.0 stretch if momentum accelerates.
– Entry ideas: 96.7–97.1 pullback with higher-low; or 98.25 break-and-hold with volume.
– Stop: 95.20 (beneath demand); tighter traders can use 96.20 if breakout entry.
FICO
– Supports: 1776, 1760–1762, 1754
– Resistances: 1790 (HOD), 1800, 1820
– 30-min outlook: Hold above 1776–1780 sets up 1790 retest and 1800 round. Acceptance >1800 opens 1810–1820. Lose 1760 and you likely revisit 1754.
– Targets (ATR ~55): 1790–1800 first, 1815–1820 next; 1835 stretch only on strong breadth.
– Entry ideas: 1778–1782 pullback long; or 1790 break/hold with rising volume.
– Stop: 1758–1760 (below support cluster).
PEN
– Supports: 287.0–286.5, 285.4, 283.0
– Resistances: 289.74 (HOD), 292.0, 295.0
– 30-min outlook: Near-HOD close favors a continuation push over 289.7. If first pullback holds 286.5–287, expect a second leg to 292 then 295. Loss of 285.4 shifts to range-bound.
– Targets (ATR ~8): 292.0 first, 295.0 next; 298.0 stretch if trend day repeats.
– Entry ideas: 287.0–287.5 buy-the-dip; or 289.8 break/hold.
– Stop: 285.2 (beneath demand); conservative: 282.9.
SHW
– Supports: 337.1, 334.6, 333.0
– Resistances: 338.74 (HOD), 340.0, 342.0
– 30-min outlook: Tight flag under HOD. Break/hold >338.8 targets 340 then 342. Pullbacks into 337.1 that hold VWAP keep the flag valid. A close below 334.6 weakens the setup near-term.
– Targets (ATR ~4): 340.0 first, 342.0 next; 343.5 stretch on strong tape.
– Entry ideas: 337.2–337.6 pullback long; or 338.9 continuation.
– Stop: 335.8 (beneath flag base); looser: 334.3.
HLT
– Supports: 271.6, 270.1, 268.8
– Resistances: 272.7 (HOD), 274.0, 276.0
– 30-min outlook: Trend day structure. A push/hold above 272.7 likely tags 274; continued strength opens 276. Losing 270.1 would shift to a 268.8–272.0 range.
– Targets (ATR ~3): 274.0 first, 276.0 next; 277.5 stretch on strong discretionary flows.
– Entry ideas: 271.6–271.9 pullback; or 272.8 breakout/hold.
– Stop: 269.9; tighter: 270.7 for breakout entries.
TXG
– Supports: 17.05, 16.80, 16.60
– Resistances: 17.30 (HOD), 17.50, 18.00
– 30-min outlook: Momentum improving with higher lows. Clear break/hold above 17.30 sets 17.50 then 18.00. If it dips to 17.05 and holds, expect a bounce back toward HOD. A loss of 16.60 likely resets the move.
– Targets (ATR ~0.7): 17.50 first, 17.85–18.00 next.
– Entry ideas: 17.05–17.15 pullback with higher-low; or 17.32–17.35 breakout/hold.
– Stop: 16.74 (below demand/round).
Quick notes on other names
– BURL, ULTA, VRSN, DNLI, MCK, IQV, ABBV, UNH: constructive for continuation, but wait for either pullbacks to morning VWAP zones or HOD break/holds with volume confirmation.
– UTHR: avoid for long setups until it reclaims 472–474; trend was down all morning.
Risk management
– Keep position size aligned with each name’s ATR. For the higher-volatility names (CELC, FICO), consider partial scaling at first target and trail against the prior 30-min higher-low.
– If the market breadth flips, prioritize taking profits into first targets and tighten stops to breakeven on runners.
