Continuation Breakout Friday 12PM 10/31/2025

October 31, 2025 5 min read

Datetime window analyzed (EST): 2025-10-31 09:30–12:00 (plus one BNR bar on 2025-10-30 15:30). Note: Your upload contains intraday 30‑minute bars from this morning rather than a full 30‑day history, so the read is tape-driven with extra emphasis on the most recent 10 sessions via today’s momentum structure and related ETFs.

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis:
– Argentina theme: Strongest tape today across Argentina-exposed names. ARGT (Argentina ETF) stair-stepped higher with volume expansion and higher highs/lows. CEPU (utilities/energy, Argentina) and CAAP (airports, Argentina) tracked ARGT’s strength, breaking morning ranges and holding gains. This geo/sector pocket shows broad accumulation behavior.
– Software mixed/rotational: APPF showed decisive trend up (multiple higher highs into mid-day). TEAM and MNDY were choppy-to-soft after early spikes; ZS faded mid-morning; APP sold off after a pop. Net: stock-picking environment within software—favor relative strength like APPF.
– Life sciences/tools stable-bid: TMO and WAT maintained higher ranges with orderly pullbacks and re-loads; MTD held a high base. ISRG/REGN/VRTX were net-flat. This suggests quiet accumulation in tools/instruments more than in large-cap therapeutics.
– Biotech mixed: RCUS trended up with steady bids; micro/small-cap bios (CLNN, BNR, SABS, CBIO) showed spurts but liquidity is thinner. RCUS stands out as the liquid “grinder” higher.
– Financials consolidating: AXP and COF boxed within tight intraday ranges; no momentum edge yet.
– Industrials/other: DOV and VSEC range-bound; ALB faded its early push; LVS in a narrow band; HLP thin but trending.

Noticeable trends/patterns:
– Breakout-and-hold behavior with pullback buys getting defended in: ARGT, CEPU, CAAP, APPF, TMO, RCUS.
– Rotation within tech: money prefers high-RS names over broad software beta.
– Defensive/steady accumulation tone in life-science tools (TMO/WAT) vs. neutral in large-cap healthcare (ISRG/REGN/VRTX).

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days):
Likely to move up:
– ARGT, CEPU, CAAP (Argentina complex strength and volume expansion)
– APPF (clear relative strength and trend integrity)
– RCUS (orderly grind up on real prints)
– TMO (steady bid with higher-lows; potential continuation)

Strongest bullish signals today: ARGT, CEPU, APPF.

Additional quick reads (monitor, but not priority long setups yet):
– WAT: constructive, but needs 350.7+ push; support 348.1–348.7.
– ZS/TEAM/MNDY: mixed; prefer reclaim-and-hold above intraday highs before longs.
– AXP/COF: range-bound; wait for range breaks.
– ALB: early pop faded; needs reclaim of 99.9–100 to flip momentum.
– ISRG/REGN/VRTX: quiet; no near-term momentum edge.
– Microcaps (DTCK, CLNN, BNR, SABS, HLP, CBIO): momentum pops possible but liquidity/volatility risk elevated; use hard stops.

Risk management notes:
– Use smaller size on breakouts; add on successful retests.
– If any of the highlighted names lose their primary support shelf on expanding volume, step aside—momentum likely rotating.
