Date/time window analyzed (EST): 2025-10-03 from 11:00 to 13:00, with one earlier print on 2025-10-01 (WTMA). Only intraday 30‑minute bars were provided; no 30‑day daily history was included, so the commentary and levels lean on today’s price/volume action and obvious round-number supply/demand zones.
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis:
- Managed Care/Health Insurers (HUM, MOH, ELV): Group strength. All three printed steady intraday higher highs/higher lows, climbing into the early afternoon with constructive volume. HUM led a clean trend to ~281; MOH closed strong near HOD; ELV held elevated levels. This sector showed the clearest “bid under dips.”
- Software/Large Cap Tech (INTU, AAPL): INTU trended higher most of the session, pushing to ~688 and consolidating; AAPL was range‑bound/flat. Signal: selective leadership in quality software; broad mega-cap tech neutral.
- Industrials/Rails (PH, ROK, UNP, NSC): PH firmed modestly; ROK and rails traded tight ranges with slight upward bias but light momentum. No broad breakout signals here.
- Lithium/Materials (SGML, SLI, LITM, MVST): Mixed rotation. SGML showed relative strength (series of higher intraday closes), LITM held gains after an early pop, while SLI bled lower all session and MVST faded. Pattern: stock‑specific rather than sector‑wide.
- Crypto miners/high beta (IREN, CIFR): High volume, wide ranges, whip. IREN held up better (still above the morning base despite a midday fade), CIFR trended lower. Still “in play,” but reactive and headline/BTC sensitive.
- Small/mid-cap Biotech (ACIU, ADCT, ATRA, IMNM, ZVRA, MDGL, CYTK): Split tape. ACIU had a midday expansion breakout and held most gains; IMNM showed a late reversal; several others (ADCT, ATRA, CYTK) faded with persistent supply. Pattern: momentum pockets, but stock-picking required.
- Gaming/Media (TTWO, SKLZ): TTWO faded off intraday highs; SKLZ illiquid/flat. No clear follow-through.
- Other notable momentum/IPO‑style names (NBIS, NEBX, NNE): Strong morning momentum runs followed by controlled fades. Elevated volume suggests potential for continuation after a rest.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days):
Likely to drift higher/offer long setups:
- INTU, HUM, MOH (group/sector strength, orderly bids)
- SGML (relative strength vs lithium cohort)
- ACIU (momentum expansion held)
- NBIS, NEBX (high-volume momentum names with constructive pullbacks)
- IREN (volatile but buyers present; higher-risk momentum candidate)
Strongest bullish signals today: INTU, HUM, MOH, SGML, ACIU
Individual Stock Analysis (actionable 1–3 day swing plans)
Note: With no 30-day daily history provided, support/resistance uses today’s intraday pivots and nearby round-number zones. Use smaller size and adjust if your own daily levels differ.
1) INTU
- Supports: 685.0; 682.5; 680.0
- Resistances: 688.4 (session high); 690.0; 695.0
- 30‑min outlook (2–3 days): Expect early dip buy attempts above 682.5–685, then a retest of 688–690. A 30‑min close >690 opens 693–695.
- Targets (1–3 day): 688.4; 690.8; 694.8–695.8
- Entry idea: 685.5–686.2 on a controlled pullback or 690.2–690.6 on a clean breakout/hold.
- Stop: 681.8 (tight) or 679.8 (swing).
2) HUM
- Supports: 279.0–279.5; 276.5; 274.5
- Resistances: 281.0; 283.0; 285.0
- 30‑min outlook: Buy-the-dip behavior is intact while above 276.5; watch for a push through 281 into 283.
- Targets: 281.6; 283.2; 285.0
- Entry: 279.3–279.9 on a pullback that holds; or 281.2–281.5 on breakout/hold.
- Stop: 276.2 (below session demand).
3) MOH
- Supports: 201.0–201.3; 200.2–200.7; 199.6
- Resistances: 202.15; 203.0; 205.0
- 30‑min outlook: Momentum continuation favored while 200.7 holds. Break/hold above 202.2 targets low‑203s.
- Targets: 202.7; 203.8; 205.0
- Entry: 201.1–201.4 on dip; or 202.2–202.4 on break/hold.
- Stop: 199.8 (below intraday higher‑low structure).
4) SGML
- Supports: 7.53; 7.41; 7.34
- Resistances: 7.60; 7.69; 7.80
- 30‑min outlook: Relative strength name in the lithium basket. A hold above 7.53 keeps the sequence of higher lows alive; push through 7.60/7.69 can extend.
- Targets: 7.69; 7.78; 7.95
- Entry: 7.53–7.56 on dip and hold; or 7.62–7.65 on breakout/hold.
- Stop: 7.33.
5) ACIU
- Supports: 3.56; 3.52; 3.48
- Resistances: 3.67; 3.69; 3.75
- 30‑min outlook: Momentum expansion day. Expect a dip toward 3.56–3.60 to be bought; breakout above 3.69 targets mid‑3.70s.
- Targets: 3.67; 3.73; 3.80
- Entry: 3.58–3.61 on a controlled pullback; or 3.70–3.71 on breakout/hold.

6) NBIS
- Supports: 130.0–130.7; 128.7; 127.8
- Resistances: 132.8–133.0; 134.5; 135.5
- 30‑min outlook: Strong morning impulse with afternoon digestion. If 130 holds, look for a second‑leg attempt into 132.8+.
- Targets: 132.8; 134.2; 135.5
- Entry: 130.7–131.1 on dip and hold; or 132.9–133.1 on breakout/hold.

- Resistances: 51.80–52.18; 52.50; 53.00
- 30‑min outlook: Volatile momentum; look for higher‑low stabilization above 51 for a squeeze toward 52.2–52.5. Lose 50.6 and it likely reverts lower with beta.
- Targets: 51.8; 52.5; 53.0
- Entry: 50.9–51.2 on dip/hold; or 51.9–52.1 on breakout/hold.
- Stop: 49.9.
Notes and risk management:
- Several other names showed weakness (e.g., SLI, CIFR, CYTK, ADCT). Avoid longs there until they reclaim intraday supply and VWAP on rising volume.
- For all setups, size down given we lack a 30‑day context. Consider partial profits at first target, then trail stops under rising 30‑min higher lows.
- If futures or macro catalysts hit, prioritize the strongest relative strength groups (managed care, select software) and avoid thin/whippy microcaps.
