Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range analyzed: 2026-01-30 from 11:00 to 13:00, 30‑minute bars only)
Note: Your upload contains an intraday snapshot, not the full 30 days. The commentary below emphasizes current momentum and likely 1–3 day continuation/reversal setups inferred from this window.

  • Semiconductors (AMD, AEIS, SITM, FN): Broad intraday distribution and lower highs. AMD faded 242.84 → 238.65; SITM 383.50 → 366.48; AEIS slipped to 267.60; FN drifted to 495.95. Tone: weak momentum with sellers defending pops; bounce attempts likely fade unless the group reclaims session resistance.
  • Electrification/Power contractors and equipment (PWR, POWL, FIX, AGX, FLNC, MOD): Mostly soft. POWL slid to 441.00; PWR rejected 477.5 area and closed weaker; FIX trended lower to 1134.85; AGX faded to 352.35; FLNC rangey with sellers into strength. Relative bright spot: MOD held higher lows around 186–188 and repeatedly tested 188s—best relative strength in the group.
  • Energy/Natural Gas complex (UNG, CRK, ACDC): UNG gave back the morning spike (16.95 → 16.22) and CRK churned with 24.35 supply; ACDC bled to 5.03. Tone: momentum cooled; watch for reversal tells, but bias mid-day was lower.
  • Financials (GS): Step-down trend 937.99 → 926.83; supply at 933–935.
  • Defensive/Software security (CHKP): Quiet coil with higher lows into 179.65; notable relative strength vs high-beta semis.
  • Pharma/Biotech (GILD, CNTX, ONC): GILD stayed tightly range-bound; CNTX ran then flushed on high volume (potential for a second-leg if it reclaims 2.84); ONC bled steadily.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside candidates (best to watch for confirmation):
– CHKP – constructive coil; a push through 179.65 can open 180–181.5.
– MOD – relative strength in a weak group; through 188.4–188.7 can target 190–191s.
– FLNC – reclaim of 31.60 could squeeze toward 31.90–32.50.
– CNTX (speculative) – only on a strong reclaim of 2.84 with volume; otherwise avoid.

Strongest bullish signals: CHKP (tight consolidation near resistance), MOD (series of higher lows and repeated tests of resistance). FLNC is a “reclaim” setup. CNTX is high risk and needs confirmation.

Individual Stock Analysis (for those likely to go up)

CHKP
– Key supports (daily aggregate from today’s ranges): 178.13, 178.48, 178.73
– Key resistances: 179.19, 179.48, 179.65
– 30‑min price action view: Expect a shallow dip into 178.9–179.1, then a test of 179.48–179.65. A decisive 30‑min close above 179.65 favors a trend day continuation toward round 180.
– 1–3 day swing targets (using today’s intraday range ~1.5 as a proxy): T1 179.65, T2 180.20, T3 181.00
– Entry ideas:
– Pullback buy 178.90–179.10 with tight risk.
– Breakout buy on >179.65 with rising volume.
– Stop-loss: Below 178.10 (beneath session pivot support); conservative traders can use 178.40 if entering breakout.

MOD
– Key supports: 186.70, 186.00, 185.58
– Key resistances: 187.96, 188.40, 188.67
– 30‑min price action view: Look for a higher-low pullback to 186.7–187.0, then a push through 188.0. A 30‑min close above 188.40 sets up 188.67 and extension into 190s.
– 1–3 day swing targets (intraday range proxy ~3.1): T1 188.00, T2 188.70, T3 190.50–191.00
– Entry ideas:
– Pullback buy 186.70–187.00.
– Add/alternative breakout above 188.00–188.40 on volume.
– Stop-loss: 185.90 (beneath inflection); wider swing stop 185.50.

FLNC
– Key supports: 31.07, 30.93, 30.70
– Key resistances: 31.59, 31.87, 32.00
– 30‑min price action view: If price bases above 31.10–31.20 and reclaims 31.59 with expanding volume, a squeeze toward 31.87 is likely; failure to hold 31.00 risks a revisit of 30.70.
– 1–3 day swing targets (range proxy ~1.17): T1 31.60, T2 31.90, T3 32.40–32.50
– Entry ideas:
– Pullback buy 31.10–31.20 with confirmation.
– Momentum buy >31.60 on rising volume.
– Stop-loss: 30.85 (below support cluster).

CNTX (speculative)
– Key supports: 2.54, 2.60, 2.70
– Key resistances: 2.84–2.85, 2.90, 3.00
– 30‑min price action view: After a high-volume flush, look for an inside bar and reclaim of 2.84 with >500k shares/30‑min; without that, risk of lower highs remains.
– 1–3 day swing targets (range proxy ~0.31): T1 2.85, T2 2.95, T3 3.10
– Entry ideas:
– Only on reclaim >2.84 with volume; second chance on pullback hold 2.70–2.75.
– Stop-loss: 2.52 (beneath session low); tight risk given volatility.

Notes and risk management
– Because the uploaded data covers a short intraday window, treat the “ATR proxy” targets as conservative estimates derived from the observed range. Confirm with actual daily ATR if available.
– For all breakout entries, look for expanding volume on the 30‑minute bar and minimal upper wicks. If indices are risk-off (e.g., semis remain heavy), favor pullback entries at support with tighter stops.
