Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range (EST) analyzed: 2026-02-06 from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM, using 30-minute bars. Note: Only this intraday window was provided; 10–30 day context isn’t included, so comments focus on today’s price/volume plus relative strength within this set. SPY and VGT included in the set are used as broad-market/tech proxies.
- Broad market: SPY stair-stepped higher into the close (higher highs/higher lows with a push to 690.07), signaling a modest risk-on tone into the afternoon. Volume rose into the final hour—constructive for follow-through.
- Technology: Leadership evident. VGT pushed to session highs late. Strength clustered in:
- Data/Cloud/Infra: EQIX (data centers) trended up all afternoon, closing near highs; DOCN broke out with expanding volume; CDNS was mixed-to-flat.
- Electronic components/distributors: LFUS grinded higher into the close; AVT broke out on higher volume; ARW surged the most with a strong afternoon trend.
- Industrials/Capital goods: Broadly constructive. CAT ripped to new highs into the close. Strength/holds in ITT, WAB, WTS, TT, HON; WCC extended higher with late-session range expansion. GE was flat.
- Materials/Construction: Steady, slightly positive: VMC and MLM held gains; NUE edged higher late.
- Energy: Mixed. VLO was firm mid-afternoon but faded a bit into the close; GPOR drifted lower.
- Financials: Softer. DPST and WTFC trended lower/sideways; money seems to be favoring industrials/tech over regional-bank beta.
- Healthcare/Biotech: Mixed-to-muted. REGN and UTHR were range-bound; AVIR tight, low-vol chop.
- Consumer: Mixed. WMT climbed methodically; BURL and ULTA ranged; LOW slipped slightly; CASY held lower range; MAR flat.
- Small caps/spec: TWI curled higher into the close with higher highs; DOCN also showed small/mid-cap appetite.
Notable patterns into the close
– Persistent “into-the-close” bid in tech infrastructure and industrial leaders (EQIX, DOCN, CAT, WCC, LFUS, ARW, AVT), often with rising 14:30–15:30 volume—typical of institutional accumulation and positive for 1–3 day momentum continuation.
– Laggards concentrated in financials and E&Ps (WTFC, DPST, GPOR).
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to push higher near term (momentum continuation candidates):
– DOCN, ARW, EQIX, CAT, WCC, AVT, LFUS, TWI
Strongest bullish signals today

– DOCN: Clean series of higher highs/lows with sustained volume build; strong close near highs.
– EQIX: Trend day with higher highs into the bell and minimal giveback.
– CAT: Late-day range expansion to new highs; strong close at HOD.
– WCC: Persistent grind with 15:00 acceleration—sign of demand.
– AVT: Breakout and hold above 66.4–66.6 with repeated tests and closes near highs.
– LFUS: Tight, constructive uptrend and close at session highs.
– TWI: Micro-cap curl with higher highs into the close; tight intraday structure.
Individual Stock Analysis and Trade Plan (1–3 day swing)
Important: With only today’s intraday window, supports/resistances are derived from visible intraday pivots/round numbers. ATRs are approximations from today’s range and typical behavior.
DOCN
– Key support: 63.00; 62.30; 61.70–61.90
– Key resistance: 63.67 (HOD); 64.00; 64.50–65.20
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Prefer a morning pullback to 62.9–63.1, then a reclaim/push through 63.67. Holding above 63 keeps momentum intact for 64–65.2 over 1–3 days.
– Entries: 62.90–63.05 (retest); add on 63.70 breakout.
– Stop: 61.85 (beneath S2 and prior base).
– Targets (ATR ~2–2.5): 63.70; 64.50; 65.20
–
ARW
– Key support: 157.30–157.80; 156.20; 155.60
– Key resistance: 159.50 (HOD); 160.00; 161.50–163.00
– 30-min outlook: Momentum trend intact. Look for a shallow dip to 157.8–158.2, then attempt 159.5–160 reclaim. A strong close above 160 opens 161.5–163 within 1–3 days.
– Entries: 157.8–158.2; add on 159.60–160.10 breakout-and-hold.
– Stop: 156.20
– Targets (ATR ~3–4): 160.00; 161.50; 163.00
–
EQIX
– Key support: 845.0; 841.3; 839.3
– Key resistance: 846.92 (HOD); 850.0; 854.0–858.0
– 30-min outlook: Buy-the-dip setup. If 844.5–845 holds, expect a push through 847 with momentum toward 850 then 854+ over 1–3 days.
– Entries: 844.5–845.5; add on 847+ hold.
– Stop: 839.00
– Targets (ATR ~14–18): 849.5–850.0; 854.0; 858.0

CAT
– Key support: 723.2; 721.5; 720.0
– Key resistance: 726.0 (HOD); 729.0; 733.0–737.0
– 30-min outlook: Strong late push. A brief dip to 723–724.5 that holds should resolve higher through 726 toward 729–733 in 1–2 days; stretch 737 if market remains risk-on.
– Entries: 723.5–724.5; add through 726.2.
– Stop: 719.70
– Targets (ATR ~10–12): 729.0; 733.0; 737.0

WCC
– Key support: 316.0; 315.0; 314.4
– Key resistance: 318.75 (HOD); 320.0; 322.0
– 30-min outlook: Accumulation look. Hold above 315.8–316.2 and a push through 318.8 sets 320 then 322 within 1–3 days.
– Entries: 315.8–316.2; add on 318.9 breakout.
– Stop: 314.30
– Targets (ATR ~6–7): 318.7–319.0; 320.5; 322.0

– Key resistance: 66.89 (HOD); 67.20; 67.80
– 30-min outlook: Breakout-and-hold. Expect a retest of 66.30–66.45; if buyers defend, a quick attempt at 66.9–67.2 with 67.8 possible in 1–3 days.
– Entries: 66.30–66.45; add on 66.95–67.05.
– Stop: 65.85
– Targets (ATR ~1.0–1.3): 66.90; 67.20; 67.80
–
LFUS
– Key support: 348.0; 347.5; 346.7
– Key resistance: 349.46 (HOD); 351.0; 353.0–354.0
– 30-min outlook: Tight uptrend. As long as 347.8–348.3 holds, look for a push through 349.5 to 351 first, then 353–354 over 1–3 days.
– Entries: 347.9–348.3; add through 349.6.
– Stop: 346.40
– Targets (ATR ~6–8): 349.6–351.0; 353.0; 354.0

– Key resistance: 11.13 (HOD); 11.20; 11.35–11.45
– 30-min outlook: Micro-cap curl. Look for an early dip to ~11.00–11.03; if buyers step in, a pop through 11.13–11.20 is likely. Thin liquidity—size accordingly.
– Entries: 11.00–11.03; add above 11.14–11.16.
– Stop: 10.88
– Targets (ATR ~0.25–0.35): 11.20; 11.30; 11.45

Risk management and execution notes
– Use smaller size on thinner names (TWI) and widen stops appropriately on higher-priced/ATR names (EQIX, CAT).
– If SPY/VGT gap down sharply next session, wait for bases/reclaims at S1 before entering.
– Trail stops to just below reclaimed levels after first targets are hit to protect gains.
If you want, send the broader 10–30 day data next time; I’ll refine levels with higher-timeframe supply/demand zones and true daily ATRs.
