Continuation Breakout Friday 3PM 11/28/2025

November 28, 2025 6 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window reviewed: 2025-11-26 10:30 to 2025-11-28 15:00)

Note on data coverage: You provided partial intraday snapshots over the last two sessions (and a brief look on 11/26). There isn’t a full 30-day history here, so the commentary emphasizes the most recent 1–2 sessions and short-term 30-minute momentum footprints, using Friday’s intraday range as a proxy for a near-term ATR.

  • Semis/semicap, EDA, and electronics manufacturing led: MTSI, CRDO, ASML, CLS, SNPS, MRVL, COHR showed constructive action. Standouts:
    • MTSI trended steadily higher through midday with rising volume and higher lows.
    • CRDO pushed to new session highs before a modest, orderly pullback; dip volumes were light.
    • ASML held near highs after testing 1062.6 with tight final-hour ranges (bid stayed firm).
    • CLS advanced from 341 to 344.8 and held most gains into the close.
    • SNPS printed a compressed range at the top of its session structure (416–418), often a pre-break setup.
    • MRVL was quiet but stable near the top end of its intraday band.
    • COHR was volatile (wide wick to 159s) but recovered back into the 164–165 area.
      Overall read: risk-on appetite within chips/semicap and related supply chain (CLS).
  • Biotech was mixed with selective momentum:
    • NRIX had a notable expansion in both range and volume, pushing to 17.69 and holding upper ranges.
    • BCAB put in a late-day surge to 0.97 on expanding volume (microcap, high beta).
    • PEPG and JBIO were soft; SNTI was flat; NCNA choppy. Rotation appears into better bid names (NRIX, BCAB) while others lag.
  • Microcap China/EV and low float names were broadly heavy:
    • VEEE sold off persistently from 2.75 to the low 2.30s on heavy volume.
    • EZGO and LOBO faded; JWEL was illiquid but stable.
      Read: thinning momentum and headline-sensitive tape—avoid unless precise with risk.
  • Large-cap tech stable to firm:
    • IBM held 308 with low-vol churn; SNPS as above held near highs. These look like steady bid/dip-buy potential rather than explosive runners.

Notable 30-minute patterns in the last 10 days proxy (latest sessions):
– Strong higher-low structures in MTSI, CLS, SION.
– Range expansions with closes in the upper third for NRIX, BCAB (risk-on microcap).
– Compressions near highs for ASML, SNPS (often lead to range extensions next session).
– Distribution/weakness in VEEE, EZGO, LOBO, PEPG.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)

Most likely upside continuations:
– High-conviction: MTSI, NRIX, CLS, SION
– Constructive/continuation candidates: ASML, CRDO, IDR, SNPS
– Speculative microcap momentum: BCAB
– Steady bid but slower mover: IBM

Tickers showing strongest bullish signals right now: MTSI, NRIX, SION, CLS (trend + volume + close near highs); ASML (tight coil at highs); CRDO (strong structure with shallow pullback).

Individual Stock Analysis (bullish candidates)

For each: support/resistance (S/R), next 2–3 day setup on 30-min structure, entries, stops, and 1–3 day targets (mix of nearby resistance and ≈1× Friday’s intraday range as ATR proxy). Include Finviz shortcode for quick charting.

1) MTSI
– Key supports: 173.40; 172.60; 171.80
– Key resistances: 175.06; 176.50; 178.00
– 2–3 day setup: Look for an early pullback toward 173.8–174.2 to get bought; push through 175.1 opens a trend day toward 176.5.
– Entries: 173.8–174.2 on a higher-low; or momentum add over 175.10 with volume.
– Stop: 172.40 (beneath 11:00–12:00 higher-low shelf).
– Targets: 175.5; 176.5; 178.0

2) NRIX
– Key supports: 17.34; 17.20; 16.90
– Key resistances: 17.79; 18.20; 18.80
– 2–3 day setup: Strong close in upper range; expect a flag above 17.4–17.6, then a break through 17.80. If it gaps down, watch 17.20 for buyers.
– Entries: 17.45–17.60 pullback buy; or break-and-hold above 17.80.
– Stop: 17.18 (below Friday’s base).
– Targets: 17.95–18.05; 18.20; stretch 18.60–18.80

3) CLS
– Key supports: 342.50; 341.00; 339.50
– Key resistances: 344.78; 346.00; 348.00
– 2–3 day setup: Rising channel with strong close. Favor early dip to 342.7–343.2 and a drive through 344.8; grind higher likely if semis stay bid.
– Entries: 342.7–343.2; or through 344.80 with expanding volume.
– Stop: 341.20 (below intraday demand).
– Targets: 345.5; 346.5; 348.0

4) SION
– Key supports: 43.05; 42.70; 42.10
– Key resistances: 43.85; 44.50; 45.50
– 2–3 day setup: Trend intact with higher highs/lows. Look for a shallow flag above 43.0 and extension toward 43.85; momentum can accelerate if 44.50 clears.
– Entries: 42.9–43.2 retest; or over 43.85 on strong 30-min volume.
– Stop: 42.30 (beneath rising demand zone).
– Targets: 43.85; 44.50; 45.50

5) ASML
– Key supports: 1057.00–1057.50; 1055.00; 1052.20
– Key resistances: 1062.57; 1065.00; 1072.00
– 2–3 day setup: Tight coil near highs often precedes continuation. Expect an opening test of 1057–1058, then a push through 1062.6 if semis remain firm.
– Entries: 1057–1058.5 on hold; or through 1062.6 with breadth confirmation.
– Stop: 1051.90 (below session low zone).
– Targets: 1065.0; 1068.5; 1072.0

6) CRDO
– Key supports: 178.18; 177.60; 176.80
– Key resistances: 179.44; 181.00; 183.00
– 2–3 day setup: Breakout, then orderly pullback—classic continuation structure. A higher low above 177.8 sets up the next leg.
– Entries: 177.8–178.3; or reclaim/hold above 179.50.
– Stop: 176.70 (below pullback base).
– Targets: 179.9–181.0; 182.0; 183.0

7) IDR
– Key supports: 39.20; 38.86; 38.64
– Key resistances: 39.78; 40.00; 40.50
– 2–3 day setup: Strong mid-session expansion and close near highs (ignoring a low-volume late downtick). Expect a retest of 39.2–39.3, then a probe of 39.8–40.0.
– Entries: 39.10–39.30; or over 39.80 with volume.
– Stop: 38.60 (below Friday’s low zone).
– Targets: 39.90; 40.00–40.10; 40.50

8) SNPS
– Key supports: 416.10; 415.50; 413.50
– Key resistances: 418.39; 420.00; 422.00
– 2–3 day setup: Tight top-of-range compression. A brief dip toward 416–417 that holds should precede a push into 418.4/420.
– Entries: 416.5–417.2; or over 418.40 on expanding tape.
– Stop: 415.40 (below balance edge).
– Targets: 418.4; 420.0; 422.0
finviz dynamic chart for  SNPS

9) BCAB (speculative)
– Key supports: 0.90–0.91; 0.89; 0.87
– Key resistances: 0.97; 1.00; 1.08
– 2–3 day setup: Late-day surge with volume—momentum continuation possible, but liquidity and slippage risks are high. Expect a shakeout to 0.90–0.92; if demand persists, a re-test of 0.97/1.00.
– Entries: 0.90–0.92 only on tight risk; or small probe over 0.97 with immediate follow-through.
– Stop: 0.87 (below demand shelf).
– Targets: 0.97; 1.00; 1.08 (stretch)

10) IBM (slower, steady bid)
– Key supports: 307.00; 306.50; 305.50
– Key resistances: 308.58; 309.50; 311.00
– 2–3 day setup: Narrow range at highs; likely dip-buy tape. A hold above 307–307.5 can resolve into 308.6–309.5.
– Entries: 307.2–307.7; or through 308.6 with market confirmation.
– Stop: 306.40
– Targets: 308.6; 309.5; 311.0

Additional notes on names to avoid/monitor
– VEEE, EZGO, LOBO, PEPG: Weak tapes with distribution and/or fading demand. If traded at all, treat as day-trade fades with strict risk; they are not favorable 1–3 day long setups right now.
– COHR, MRVL: Constructive but noisier (COHR) or too quiet (MRVL) into the close; keep on watchlist for confirmation above Friday highs.

Risk management and execution
– Given limited historical context, anchor entries to 30-minute higher-low structures and insist on confirming volume on breakouts.
– Use smaller size on microcaps (BCAB) and widen stops proportionally only if liquidity supports it; otherwise tighten risk and accept more false starts.
– If the SOX/semis ETF weakens broadly on the open, fade the aggression on semicap continuations (ASML, MTSI, CRDO); wait for VWAP reclaim/higher low.
