Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-12-26 from 11:30 to 15:00, 30-minute bars (note: only intraday data for this afternoon was provided; no 30-day daily history was included, so the commentary emphasizes today’s intraday momentum as a proxy for short-term direction).
- Healthcare/Managed Care (ELV, UNH): Steady grind higher into the close with higher lows and closes near session highs. That defensive leadership suggests dip-buying appetite in managed care.
- Healthcare Diagnostics/Biotech (NTRA, PRLD, ANL, QIPT): Mixed. NTRA faded through the afternoon; PRLD advanced and held most gains; ANL gave back mid-day spike; QIPT flat/illiquid.
- Precious Metals/Miners (AGQ, NUGT, NEXA): Clear divergence—levered silver (AGQ) put in a trend-up day with rising volume and higher highs, NUGT finished firm, while base-metals producer NEXA leaked lower. Rotation favors precious over base metals.
- Technology/Software/Semiconductor (MDB, VICR, EVCM, CAMP, SNT, SHMD): Mixed-to-soft. MDB drifted lower; VICR showed persistent intraday strength; EVCM/CAMP/SNT were very illiquid; SHMD trended down.
- Consumer (DPZ, DBGI): DPZ maintained a gentle uptrend; micro-cap DBGI sold off late.
- Financials/Insurance (EG): Slight bid into the close, consistent with the defensive tone seen in ELV/UNH.
Notable intraday patterns:
– Strength into the close: ELV, UNH, VICR, AGQ (closing near or pressing highs).
– Precious metals breadth: AGQ strong, NUGT constructive, while NEXA (base metals) lagged.
– Weak software/high-beta: MDB faded; micro/small caps (DBGI, SHMD, AMBR) soft on light liquidity.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to rise (bullish bias):
– AGQ, ELV, UNH, VICR, NUGT, DPZ
Rationale highlights:
– AGQ: Trend day up, volume expansion, close near highs.
– ELV/UNH: Managed care closing at/near highs, steady accumulation vibe.
– VICR: Series of higher highs/higher lows all afternoon.
– NUGT: Metals breadth favorable; held key 209 pivot.
– DPZ: Persistent higher lows; steady bid.
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Without 30-day daily candles or ATR, levels are derived from today’s 30-minute structure and obvious round-number supply/demand zones. Targets use today’s intraday range as a proxy for short-term range/ATR.
AGQ (ProShares Ultra Silver)
– Support: 194.60 (14:30 close), 193.00 (14:30 low), 191.50–192.00 zone (13:30 low 191.486).
– Resistance: 196.12 (14:00 high), 197.17 (HOD), 200.00 (psych).
– 2–3 day price action outlook: Expect an early retest of 194.6–195.2 to hold, then a push through 196.1/197.2. If metals strength persists, extension toward 199–200 is plausible; failure to hold 193 risks a 191.5–193 digestion.
– 1–3 day targets: 196.1, 197.2, 199.5–200.0.
– Entry: 194.6–195.2 on controlled pullback.
– Stop: 192.9–193.0 (below the 193 pivot).
ELV (Elevance Health)
– Support: 347.06–347.10, 346.34, 345.95.
– Resistance: 348.33 (HOD), 349.00, 350.00.
– 2–3 day price action outlook: Dips toward 347 should attract buyers; a clean reclaim/hold above 347.5 sets up a 348.3 break and 349–350 test. Lose 346.3 and momentum likely stalls into a 345.9–347 range.
– 1–3 day targets: 348.3, 349.0, 350.0.
– Entry: 347.0–347.3 on a dip-and-hold.
– Stop: 345.9–346.1 (below today’s demand shelf).
UNH (UnitedHealth)
– Support: 330.00 (pivot), 329.82, 329.66 (session low).
– Resistance: 330.59 (HOD), 331.00, 331.50.
– 2–3 day price action outlook: Expect a base over 329.9–330.1 and a push through 330.6. Above 330.6 opens 331–331.5; losing 329.6 would likely revert to a 329.6–330.3 chop.
– 1–3 day targets: 330.6, 331.0, 331.5.
– Entry: 329.95–330.10 on a tight pullback/base.
– Stop: 329.55–329.65 (beneath session low).
VICR (Vicor)
– Support: 110.25–110.30, 109.86–109.93, 109.32.
– Resistance: 110.85 (HOD), 111.00, 111.50.
– 2–3 day price action outlook: As long as 110 holds on an early dip, look for a re-test of 110.85 and a grind into 111–111.5. Sub-109.9 would likely mean a deeper backfill into 109.3 before buyers re-engage.
– 1–3 day targets: 110.85, 111.5, 112.0.
– Entry: 110.10–110.30 on a pullback that holds.
– Stop: 109.70–109.85.
NUGT (Direxion Gold Miners Bull)
– Support: 209.00, 208.20, 207.77.
– Resistance: 210.24–210.56 (intraday supply), 211.00, 212.00.
– 2–3 day price action outlook: A sustained push above 210.3–210.6 should open 211–212 on metals follow-through. Lose 209 and price likely revisits 208.2–207.8 demand before another attempt higher.
– 1–3 day targets: 210.6, 211.0, 212.0.
– Entry: 209.1–209.3 on a pullback-and-hold.
– Stop: 208.0–208.2.
DPZ (Domino’s Pizza)
– Support: 424.67, 424.23, 423.49.
– Resistance: 425.54 (HOD), 426.00, 427.00–427.50 zone.
– 2–3 day price action outlook: Expect a continuation grind: hold 424.7–425 on dips, press 425.5 then 426–427. A break below 424.2 invites a test of 423.5 demand.
– 1–3 day targets: 425.5, 426.5, 427–427.5.
– Entry: 424.7–424.9 on a controlled dip that reclaims 425.
– Stop: 423.7–424.0 (below intraday demand).
Additional notes and risk management
– Liquidity considerations: Several tickers here were thin mid-day (CAMP, EVCM, SNT, QIPT). Favor names with cleaner tape and better liquidity (AGQ, ELV, UNH, NUGT, DPZ, VICR).
– If you need daily context/30-day ATR and supply/demand from the daily timeframe, share daily OHLCV for the last 30 sessions; I’ll refine levels and targets accordingly.
