Continuation Breakout Monday 11AM 1/12/2026

January 12, 2026 5 min read

Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2026-01-09 through 2026-01-12 11:00. Note: The dataset contains primarily today’s intraday 30‑minute bars (plus a few prints from 2026-01-09), so 30‑day context is inferred from current momentum, gap behavior, and volume expansion versus prior sessions.

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Financials (asset managers, advisory, banks): AMG, HLI, PJT, MCO, MS, GS, AMP all showed steady bids/gap strength and constructive 30‑min uptrends. Advisory/banks (PJT, HLI, GS) pushed higher after the open and held gains; asset/ratings names (AMG, MCO, AMP) held tight ranges near highs. This points to continued rotation into Financials.
– Industrials/Cap Goods/Distribution: VMI and WCC trended higher on clean higher‑low structures; both printed or approached session highs late morning. This group shows sustained demand.
– Semiconductors/Hardware: CAMT and KLIC gapped and attempted trend continuations; CAMT held near HOD with strong higher‑lows while KLIC retraced some of the opening pop. Net positive breadth in semis with CAMT the relative leader.
– Cyber/Infrastructure software: CHKP and FFIV had controlled upward drifts and tight consolidations — a risk‑on but selective tone.
– Consumer: BOOT exploded higher with a multi‑hour trend; DLTR and DG showed steady grind-ups, signaling interest in both discretionary (BOOT) and staples/value (DLTR, DG).
– Energy/Materials/High‑beta: EOSE (grid storage) and METC (met coal) trended strongly with volume; HUT (crypto miner) extended with higher lows. ATLX (lithium) and IPX also bid higher intraday. Risk appetite clearly present in high‑beta resources/alt‑energy.
– Small‑cap biotech/spec: TWST gapped and held an elevated range (constructive); PYXS popped then digested; DPRO spiked and faded but stabilized; AMBR, LAR, JFU, BCG, XOS were mixed/illiquid. Overall, speculative interest is elevated, but follow‑through is concentrated in the names with real volume (TWST, PYXS).

Notable cross‑sector patterns
– Morning gap‑and‑go with volume confirmation in leaders (IMSR, EOSE, CAMT, BOOT, WCC, VMI).
– Many leaders holding near HOD into late morning — a bullish tell for 1‑3 day continuation.
– Financials firm across the cap spectrum, Industrials and Semis leading, and selective high‑beta continuation in Energy/Materials and Biotech.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation candidates:
– Strongest bullish signals (momentum + volume + closing near HOD): IMSR, EOSE, BOOT, CAMT, WCC, VMI
– Additional constructive setups: TMDX, METC, HUT, DLTR, TWST

Quick notes on other watchlist names
– KLIC: Gap up then fade; needs to reclaim 57.20 with volume to reassert trend; support 56.50.
– IPX: Steady uptrend; watch 45.45 break for 46–47.
– PJT, HLI, GS, MCO, AMP, MS: All constructive, but slower ATR; best suited for buy‑the‑dip into rising 30‑min MAs rather than breakout scalps.
– PYXS, DPRO: High‑beta traders only; look for reclaim of intraday VWAPs and higher‑low structures before considering continuation.

Risk management
– Size smaller on thin/low‑float names (e.g., ATLX, LAR, JFU, BCG, XOS).
– For momentum entries, demand volume confirmation on breakout bars and avoid chasing extended candles; use the nearest prior 30‑min swing low as a stop reference.
