December 12, 2025 5 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window reviewed: 2025-12-12, 10:30 to 13:00)

  • Cross-sector snapshot from today’s mid-session:
    • Biotech/Healthcare (VERA, FEIM, CGEM, ANNX, ATAI, PRAX, TNXP, ALT): Mixed but with notable momentum pockets. VERA and CGEM stair-stepped higher into midday; FEIM showed outsized range and held most gains; PRAX faded from an early spike. Flow suggests selective accumulation in liquid movers, avoidance of names that failed morning highs.
    • Technology/Software & Cybersecurity (ADBE, CYBR, FDS): ADBE and FDS trended soft, CYBR stabilized after early pressure. Net: digestion in large-cap/enterprise tech while security shows basing.
    • Consumer Discretionary (TSLA, LULU, MCD, DKNG): TSLA reclaimed and pushed toward HOD with rising 30-min closes; DKNG kept a steady intraday uptrend; MCD was firm but range-bound; LULU retraced from an opening pop. Risk-on preference toward high-beta (TSLA, DKNG) over apparel/retail (LULU).
    • Industrials/Aviation (FTAI): Constructive grind back toward session highs; tight tape indicates dip-buying interest.
    • Cannabis (MSOS): High volume whipsaw, but stabilized back above 5.10—speculative flows present, conviction mixed.
    • Energy/Commodities proxy (KOLD inverse nat gas): Bid all session and closed at HOD—implies near-term nat-gas weakness continuation positioning.
    • Small/micro-cap specials (SOC, AGCC): SOC displayed clean continuation behavior with volume confirmation; AGCC choppy and illiquid.

Notable patterns
– Momentum rotation into liquid high-beta leaders and select small-cap biotech: TSLA, SOC, FEIM, VERA, CGEM, DKNG printed higher lows and either reclaimed VWAPs or closed near session highs.
– Large-cap software/enterprise data softness: ADBE, FDS faded and could act as funding sources for momentum pockets.
– Continuation setups favored where price closed near HOD with constructive pullbacks (TSLA, SOC, KOLD, VERA).

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Most likely to rise: TSLA, SOC, FEIM, VERA, DKNG, CGEM, KOLD, FTAI
– Strongest bullish signals:
– Closing near HOD with rising 30-min structure: TSLA, KOLD, VERA, SOC
– Range expansion + hold of gains: FEIM
– Persistent grind higher with tight pullbacks: DKNG, CGEM
– Reclaims toward prior highs with shallow retracements: FTAI

Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Daily supply/demand zones are inferred from today’s HOD/LOD and round-number pivots due to lack of full 30-day daily candles. 1–3 day targets use today’s intraday range as an ATR-proxy; adjust to your 14D ATR if available.

TSLA
– Support: 448.0–448.5 (midday pivot), 447.4 (12:30 low), 443.1–441.7 (session LOD zone)
– Resistance: 451.7 (HOD), 455–456 (round + extension), 460
– Next 2–3 days (30-min read): Expect early probe of 451.7; minor dip toward 448–449 likely to attract buyers. A firm 30-min close above 452 sets a path to 456 first, then 460 on expanding volume.
– 1–3 day targets: 456, 460, stretch 466 (≈1.0–1.5x today’s range)
– Entry: 448.5–449.5 on controlled pullback, or momentum add >452 on volume
– Stop: 446.8 (tighter) or 443.0 (beneath session demand zone for swing)

VERA
– Support: 48.55–48.60 (afternoon base), 48.30–48.35, 48.00 (session LOD)
– Resistance: 49.14 (HOD), 49.70, 50.00 (psych/near-term supply)
– Next 2–3 days: Preference for shallow dips into 48.6–48.8 then a push through 49.14. Holding above 49 opens 49.7 then a test of 50.
– 1–3 day targets: 49.70, 50.25, stretch 51.00
– Entry: 48.60–48.85 on dip; momentum add on clean 30-min close >49.20
– Stop: 48.20 (beneath demand), swing stop 47.95

SOC
– Support: 6.36–6.40 (afternoon shelf), 6.20–6.22, 6.08–6.10
– Resistance: 6.55 (HOD), 6.80, 7.00
– Next 2–3 days: Look for early consolidation 6.35–6.45; a high-volume break over 6.55 can trend into 6.80+. Failure to hold 6.36 suggests retest of 6.20 buyers.
– 1–3 day targets: 6.70–6.80, 7.00, stretch 7.20
– Entry: 6.36–6.42 on dip; momentum add >6.56 with volume
– Stop: 6.19 (beneath demand); looser swing stop 6.08

FEIM
– Support: 46.65–46.95 (late base), 46.00–46.10 (prior pivot), 44.70
– Resistance: 47.65–47.88 (HOD supply), 49.00, 50.00
– Next 2–3 days: After range expansion, expect a digestion day or an inside morning; holding 46–47 sets up a measured leg to 49–50. Watch for volume contraction on dips and re-accumulation near 46.5–47.0.
– 1–3 day targets: 48.80–49.00, 50.00, stretch 52.00
– Entry: 46.40–46.90 on low-volume pullback; add through 47.90 on breakout
– Stop: 45.60 (beneath base); conservative swing stop 44.60

DKNG
– Support: 35.50–35.55 (intraday shelf), 35.38–35.40, 35.24 (session LOD)
– Resistance: 35.72–35.75 (HOD), 36.00, 36.30–36.50
– Next 2–3 days: Favor a buy-the-dip into 35.50–35.55; a steady grind can take price through 35.75 toward 36.00–36.30. Any 30-min close back below 35.38 weakens momentum.
– 1–3 day targets: 36.00, 36.30, stretch 36.75
– Entry: 35.50–35.58; momentum add on 30-min close >35.80
– Stop: 35.28 (beneath demand); wider swing stop 35.15

CGEM
– Support: 12.70–12.73 (afternoon base), 12.54–12.56, 12.44 (session LOD)
– Resistance: 12.90 (session HOD), 13.00, 13.20
– Next 2–3 days: Expect a tight opening range; a push above 12.90/13.00 triggers continuation. Dips into 12.70s should find buyers as long as volume stays orderly.
– 1–3 day targets: 13.00, 13.20, stretch 13.50
– Entry: 12.70–12.78 on dip; momentum add >12.92
– Stop: 12.49 (beneath demand); conservative 12.39

KOLD
– Support: 31.15–31.20, 31.00, 30.90 (session LOD)
– Resistance: 31.50 (psych just above HOD), 32.00, 33.00
– Next 2–3 days: Closing on highs favors early continuation; a brief backfill to 31.15–31.25 can set a push into 31.80–32.00. Continuation depends on ongoing pressure in nat gas.
– 1–3 day targets: 31.80, 32.30, stretch 33.00
– Entry: 31.15–31.25 on dip; add over 31.50 with volume
– Stop: 30.95 (tight); swing stop 30.75

FTAI
– Support: 178.80–179.10, 178.13–178.51, 177.31
– Resistance: 180.10 (HOD), 181.00, 183.00
– Next 2–3 days: Look for a hold above 178.8–179.1 and an attempt to clear 180.1. A 30-min close >180 sets a measured leg to 181–183.
– 1–3 day targets: 180.80, 182.50, stretch 185.00
– Entry: 178.8–179.2; add through 180.20 on confirmation
– Stop: 177.90 (beneath shelf); conservative 177.20

Additional notes and risk management
– Several names (ADBE, FDS, LULU, PRAX) showed weakness or indecision; they’re better as avoids or only for quick mean-reversion scalps until they reclaim intraday pivots.
– For all setups, confirmation via rising 30-min volume on breaks and holding above VWAP strengthens the probability of follow-through.
– If your 14-day ATRs differ materially from today’s intraday spans, adjust targets/stops accordingly and size positions to account for event risk and market-wide volatility.
