Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range analyzed: 2025-11-26 08:30 to 2025-11-28 12:00)
Note: The dataset provided covers only the latest 1–2 sessions of 30-minute bars, not a full 30-day/10-day history. Commentary emphasizes the most recent intraday structure as a proxy for short-term momentum.
- Semiconductors/High-performance compute: Strong intraday momentum and higher-highs sequence in CRDO (pushing 177.12 high with constructive pullbacks into mid-175s and increasing liquidity on pushes). This is the clearest momentum leader in the set.
- Energy/Nuclear: LEU showing sustained bid and staircase higher highs/lows (263.02 day high vs 256.65 early low). Momentum remains intact into midday—healthy for a continuation setup.
- Biotech/Spec biotech: Mixed but active. NCNA led with a clean trend day (4.35 H, closes near highs), while BCAB had a strong morning range expansion to 0.9857 then consolidated back to the 0.90–0.93 band—constructive if it can base above 0.89. JBIO and TRDA were more range-bound, with JBIO choppy around 13 and TRDA fading from early push.
- Financials (Regional Banks): FCNCA grinding higher to 1907.01 then tight consolidation near 1901–1905—constructive for a measured continuation move rather than a momentum breakout.
- Large-cap Discretionary/Travel: BKNG range-bound and slightly heavy intraday, no near-term momentum edge.
- Information Services/Data: VRSK range-bound with tight rotations—neutral.
- Micro-cap/penny: LOBO leaking lower with declining volume—weak. JWEL illiquid and jumpy—no reliable read.
Noticeable patterns:
– Momentum leadership concentrated in CRDO and LEU (higher highs/higher lows with pullback buying). NCNA also shows trend-day character with closing strength.
– Biotech bifurcation: NCNA strength vs BCAB “spike then base,” both tradable but with different tactics. TRDA and JBIO lack confirmation.
– Defensive/steady tape in FCNCA; large-cap range in BKNG and VRSK suggests stock-picking over broad beta.
Tickers likely to move up over the next 2–3 days
– CRDO, LEU, NCNA, FCNCA, BCAB
Strongest bullish signals: CRDO, LEU, NCNA
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing plan; ATR proxies use today’s intraday range)
CRDO
– Setup: Intraday higher highs to 177.12 with rising volume on pushes; constructive consolidation 175.5–176.8.
– Key supports: 175.50, 175.01, 173.21
– Key resistances: 177.12, 178.00, 180.00
– 2–3 day price path (30-min read): Expect consolidation 175.5–176.8, then a push through 177.1 toward 178.5; holding above 175 keeps the momentum structure intact. Lose 175 and we likely retest 173.4–173.2 before any rebound.
– ATR proxy: ~3.9.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 175.6–175.1
– Add/confirmation on 177.20 breakout hold on a 30-min close
– Stops:
– Tight: 174.80 (below pullback shelf)
– Swing: 173.10 (below session low)
– Targets (1–3 days):
– T1: 177.50
– T2: 178.80–179.60
– T3: 180.00–181.00 if momentum broadens
–
LEU
– Setup: Stair-step advance; buyers defended 261.99–262.05 repeatedly; new session high 263.02.
– Key supports: 262.00, 260.35, 258.84
– Key resistances: 263.02, 265.00, 268.00
– 2–3 day price path: Favor a bull flag above 261.5–262.0 with continuation toward 264.5–266. A 30-min close below 260.3 delays the move and opens 258.8 test.
– ATR proxy: ~6.4.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 261.6–262.1
– Breakout through 263.10 with follow-through
– Stops:
– Tight: 260.20
– Swing: 258.70
– Targets:
– T1: 264.50
– T2: 266.80
– T3: 268.50–269.50
–
NCNA
– Setup: Trend day with closes near the highs; steady volume on the push.
– Key supports: 4.2967, 4.21, 4.11
– Key resistances: 4.35, 4.50, 4.75
– 2–3 day price path: Early dip buy into 4.26–4.30, then a grind toward 4.45–4.55. Failure below 4.21 likely tests 4.11 before another try higher.
– ATR proxy: ~0.31.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 4.27–4.30
– Breakout through 4.36–4.37 with a 30-min close
– Stops:
– Tight: 4.19
– Swing: 4.09
– Targets:
– T1: 4.45
– T2: 4.55–4.60
– T3: 4.70–4.75 if momentum persists
–
FCNCA
– Setup: Controlled uptrend, tight consolidation near 1901–1905 after hitting 1907.01; favors a measured continuation rather than a fast breakout.
– Key supports: 1901.04, 1899.87, 1889.26
– Key resistances: 1907.01, 1910.00, 1920.00
– 2–3 day price path: Expect a retest of 1903–1907; a 30-min close above 1907 opens 1915–1920. Lose 1899 and price likely backs into 1891–1893 demand.
– ATR proxy: ~17.8.
– Entries:
– Buy 1900–1902 on dips
– Add on 1907.50 break/hold
– Stops:
– Tight: 1895.00
– Swing: 1888.50
– Targets:
– T1: 1910–1912
– T2: 1918–1920
– T3: 1928–1932 if range expands
–
BCAB
– Setup: Morning expansion to 0.9857, then orderly pullback and base 0.90–0.93. Needs reclaim of the mid-0.93s to re-ignite.
– Key supports: 0.8924, 0.8636, 0.8554
– Key resistances: 0.9350–0.94, 0.9857, 1.00
– 2–3 day price path: Prefer a base and squeeze through 0.935; that should target a fast retest of 0.985–1.00. Lose 0.892 and we likely revisit 0.864–0.855 demand.
– ATR proxy: ~0.13.
– Entries:
– Accumulate 0.90–0.91 against 0.892 risk
– Add on 0.936 breakout with volume
– Stops:
– Tight: 0.888
– Swing: 0.852
– Targets:
– T1: 0.94–0.95
– T2: 0.985
– T3: 1.03–1.05 on extension
–
Notes and risk management
– Micro/small caps (BCAB, NCNA) can gap and overshoot intraday supports; size down and use hard stops.
– For all setups, I’m using today’s intraday range as a proxy for short-term ATR; with a fuller 10–30 day history, ATR targets could be refined.
– If the broader tape turns risk-off, prioritize CRDO/LEU (cleaner momentum structures) and be selective with entries.
