Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed)
– Data window available: 2025-10-31, approximately 11:00–15:00 EST (30-minute bars). A full 30-day history wasn’t provided; the commentary emphasizes the most recent intraday structure and volume inflections that matter for 1–3 day momentum swings.
- Software/Cloud (APPF, WDAY, TEAM, ZS, MNDY, APP, CSGS): Persistent afternoon bid and closes near session highs in several names. ZS pushed to the day’s high into the close (~330), APPF stair-stepped higher late (to ~256.6), WDAY and MNDY both firmed with higher lows and closes near HOD. TEAM recovered well after a midday shakeout. This pattern (higher lows, late-day strength) is classic short-term continuation fuel for the next 1–3 sessions.
- Life sciences/instruments and CROs (TMO, WAT, MTD, MEDP): Broadly constructive, steady grind higher with late-session strength (TMO toward ~569, WAT ~352, MEDP ~585.6). This group often trends in measured ranges; momentum continuation looks probable if early pullbacks get bought.
- Large-cap biotech/pharma (VRTX, LLY): Mixed but net constructive. VRTX trended up and held gains, while LLY was choppy and faded slightly into the close after testing highs. VRTX shows better near-term momentum quality.
- Financials (AXP, COF): Both pressed higher into the close with incremental higher highs, signaling buy-the-dip appetite and supportive risk tone for 1–3 days.
- Materials/Industrials (RS, DOV; Chemicals ALB): RS in a mild up-bias into the close; DOV and ALB were more range-bound with modest upticks—less explosive but constructive if the tape stays firm.
- Argentina-related (ARGT ETF; CEPU, CAAP): Slow grind higher with higher lows and closes near session highs (CEPU, ARGT). Regional beta can add tailwind if global risk stays supportive.
- Small/micro-cap biotech (RCUS, RAPT, CLNN, SABS, CBIO): Liquidity varies; SABS perked up late, RCUS drifted higher, RAPT/CLNN stabilized after earlier volatility. These are tactical and liquidity-sensitive; prefer liquid leaders unless you specialize in micro-caps.
Noticeable patterns: Broad late-day accumulation across software and life sciences (ZS, APPF, WDAY, MNDY, TMO, WAT), plus steady bid in select financials (AXP, COF). Many of these closed near HODs, a near-term bullish tell for momentum continuation.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation candidates:
– Strongest bullish signals: ZS, APPF, TMO, WDAY, MNDY, VRTX
– Additional constructive setups: AXP, CEPU, WAT, RS
Highlights:
– ZS: Closed on high with higher lows all afternoon; poised for range extension above 330.
– APPF: Persistent bid and higher highs into the close; room to test 258–260 if early dips hold.
– TMO: Steady grind and close near highs; clean continuation candidate if 566–568 holds.
– WDAY/MNDY: Both closed near highs after reclaiming intraday dips; momentum-friendly.
– VRTX: Trend day higher, tight range near close; favorable for a measured push.
Individual Stock Analysis (targets are 1–3 day swing-oriented; supports/resistances drawn from today’s structure plus nearby psychological levels)
1) ZS
– Supports: 326.5; 325.0; 324.4 (session pivot/low area)
– Resistances: 330.0 (HOD); 332.0; 335.0
– Next 2–3 day view (30-min read): Expect an initial digestion 327.5–329.5; a clean push and hold above 330 opens 332–335. Failure back through 326.5 risks a retest of 325.
– Entries: 327.5–328.3 pullback buy; add on 330.2 break/hold.
– Stops: Conservative 324.2; tighter 325.7 if using confirmation adds.
– Targets: 331.5–332.5 (T1); 334–335 (T2); stretch 336.5–337.5 (T3) if momentum persists.
2) APPF
– Supports: 252.4–252.7; 251.0; 250.2 (session low zone)
– Resistances: 256.6 (HOD); 258.0; 260.0
– Next 2–3 day view: Look for early fade into 252.5–253.5 and a higher-low; reclaim of 255.5–256.0 likely pushes 258 then 260. Loss of 251 risks a deeper reset.
– Entries: 252.8–253.5 on dip; momentum add on 256.7+ hold.
– Stops: 250.7 (swing); tighter 251.6 if momentum add only.
– Targets: 256.8–258.2 (T1); 259.6–260.5 (T2); 262–263 (T3) if range expands.
3) TMO
– Supports: 566.0–566.5; 565.0; 563.0
– Resistances: 569.2 (HOD); 571.0; 574.0
– Next 2–3 day view: Constructive consolidation above 566; push/hold over 569.5 targets 571–574. Lose 565 and the setup slows, with 563 the must-hold to keep the trend intact.
– Entries: 566.2–567.0 pullback; momentum add 569.6+.
– Stops: 563.8 (swing); tighter 565.2 for active trades.
– Targets: 571–572 (T1); 573.5–574.5 (T2); 576–578 (T3) on strong tape.
4) WDAY
– Supports: 237.0–237.3; 236.2; 235.8
– Resistances: 238.9 (HOD); 240.0; 241.5
– Next 2–3 day view: Range build 237–239 is bullish; a break/hold above 239 opens 240–241.5. Losing 236.2 shifts to a 235.8 test before buyers likely re-engage.
– Entries: 237.2–237.6 on dip; momentum add above 239.1.
– Stops: 235.9 swing; tighter 236.6 if adding only on strength.
– Targets: 239.6–240.5 (T1); 241–241.5 (T2); 243 (T3) if software momentum broadens.
5) MNDY
– Supports: 202.1–202.5; 201.5; 200.9
– Resistances: 204.1 (HOD); 205.0; 207.0
– Next 2–3 day view: Strong close favors a quick test of 204–205; sustained strength pushes 206–207. A dip to 202–202.5 that holds is buyable; below 201.5 momentum cools.
– Entries: 202.4–202.8 pullback; add on 204.2+ hold.
– Stops: 200.9 swing; tighter 201.7 tactical.
– Targets: 204.8–205.5 (T1); 206.3–207.0 (T2); 208.5 (T3) if range expands.
6) VRTX
– Supports: 424.0–424.6; 423.3; 422.6 (session low vicinity)
– Resistances: 426.2 (HOD); 427.0; 428.5
– Next 2–3 day view: Expect a measured push toward 426.5–427.5 if 424.5 holds. Slippage below 423.3 invites a slow fade to 422.6 before buyers step in.
– Entries: 424.6–425.0 on dip; momentum add on 426.3+ hold.
– Stops: 422.9 swing; tighter 423.9 momentum add.
– Targets: 427.0–427.6 (T1); 428.5–429.2 (T2); 431 (T3) on strong tape.
7) AXP
– Supports: 360.0; 358.9; 357.5 (session low)
– Resistances: 361.1 (HOD); 363.0; 365.0
– Next 2–3 day view: Healthy if 360 holds on early dips; through 361.2 targets 363 quickly. Lose 358.9 and momentum cools back into 357.8–357.5.
– Entries: 359.8–360.2 pullback; add on 361.3+ hold.
– Stops: 357.9 swing; tighter 358.7 tactical.
– Targets: 362.4–363.2 (T1); 364.5–365.0 (T2); 366.5 (T3) with financials strength.
8) CEPU
– Supports: 15.78–15.85; 15.70; 15.52 (session low)
– Resistances: 15.96 (HOD); 16.10; 16.30
– Next 2–3 day view: Continuation favored if 15.78–15.85 holds; break over 15.96 targets 16.10 then 16.30. Below 15.70, expect a reset toward 15.52.
– Entries: 15.78–15.86 pullback; add on 16.00+ hold.
– Stops: 15.62 swing; tighter 15.68 tactical.
– Targets: 16.10 (T1); 16.25–16.30 (T2); 16.50 (T3) if ARGT/LatAm beta stays supportive.
Notes
– Given only the latest intraday window was available, levels reflect the clearest nearby supply/demand from today’s 30-minute structure and logical round-number pivots. For 1–3 day momentum, prefer pullback entries into support with tight stops and scale out into nearby resistance/targets. If you can share the full 30-day daily data, I can refine daily ATRs and higher-timeframe zones.
