Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range analyzed: 2025-11-28 13:00 through 2025-12-01 11:00)
Note: The dataset covers late 11/28 and the morning of 12/01; I emphasize the most recent 10 trading sessions by proxy through today’s momentum and where prior prints were available.
- Semis/AI and high-beta tech led: AMD, MU, TSM, GCT advanced with strong opening range breakouts and held higher lows into late morning. This is classic day-1/2 continuation structure and aligns with the prevailing multi-week strength in semis.
- Transports/trucking surged: SAIA, XPO, JBHT ripped from the open, printed sequential higher highs, and consolidated near the top of the day’s range—bullish for follow-through.
- Homebuilders and rate-sensitives strong: LEN, TOL and levered ETF NAIL all pushed to new session highs and based near the top—continued bid into housing.
- Consumer discretionary outperformed: BBWI broke out on heavy volume; ROST steady grind; DDS spiked; CAL and SONO climbed. VFC extended a recovery bounce intraday.
- Healthcare mixed but quality momentum showed: RMD reclaimed and held a large gap; TMDX trended to new highs with range expansion; WST steady; ILMN paused after an early pop; UHS flat-to-up.
- Financials broadly resilient: AMP, LPLA, CPAY and WEX bounced; AXP faded off the highs but held higher intraday support.
- Industrials/engineering firm to up: CSL, WCC advanced; EME stabilized. HEI flat.
- Materials/energy and cyclicals constructive: RS pushed higher; CC held most of its pop; LEU volatile but net higher; COMM trended up.
- Crypto/miner beta firm early then faded: WULF strong open, then orderly pullback.
Notable patterns
– Repeated gap-and-go opens, strong 30–60 minute impulse waves, and mid-morning flags near VWAP/high-of-day across semis (AMD, MU, TSM), transports (SAIA, XPO, JBHT), homebuilders (LEN, TOL, NAIL), and select retail (BBWI).
– Many leaders closed the morning near the top of the range with lighter pullback volume—setup for day-2/3 continuation if broader tape cooperates.
Tickers most likely to rise over the next 2–3 days
– AMD, MU (semis momentum, held higher lows; strong participation)
– SAIA (trucking leader, flag under 300 with range expansion)
– BBWI (high-volume breakout in discretionary)
– TMDX (medical tech momentum, stair-stepping trend)
– LEN (housing strength; consolidation under resistance)
– SNOW (software grind with buy-the-dip behavior)
– RMD (large gap reclaim, tight consolidation at highs)
Individual Stock Analysis (levels, entries, stops, 30-min outlook, and 1–3 day targets)
AMD
– Supports: 216.25 (10:30 low), 216.17 (10:00 low), 213.50 (opening range low)
– Resistances: 218.70 (10:30 high), 219.93 (HOD), 221.50 (round-number supply zone)
– 30-min outlook (next 2–3 days): Expect an early test of 216.8–217.2. If buyers defend, a push through 218.7 opens 219.9–220.2 and potentially 222s. Failure to reclaim 218.7 likely retests 216.2–216.5 before a higher-low attempt.
– Swing targets: 218.7, 219.9–220.2; ATR-based extension 223.8–224.5 (today’s range ≈ 6.4)
– Entry ideas:
– Pullback buy 216.3–216.7 with reversal signal
– Momentum buy on 220.05+ break-and-hold
– Stops:
– Tighter: below 215.80
– Swing: below 213.30

– 30-min outlook: Buyers defending mid-236s likely press 238.3; clearing that can tag 239.5–241. Pullbacks to 235–236 that hold should build a higher-low base.
– Swing targets: 238.3, 239.5–241.0; ATR-based 240.4–243.8
– Entry ideas:
– Dip buy 235.3–235.7

– 30-min outlook: High-volume breakout with steady highs. Expect early dip buys near 18.9–19.1; a 19.15 break opens 19.50, then a measured move into 19.9–20.0.

– Dip buy 130.9–131.1

– 30-min outlook: Strong gap reclaim, tight range at highs—buyers in control. Above 253, a push to 255 is in play; pullbacks to 251.8–252.2 should be bought if volume stays light on dips.
– Swing targets: 253.5, 255.0–256.0; ATR-aware stretch 257–258
– Entry ideas:
– Dip buy 251.8–252.2

Risk management notes
– For momentum breakouts, insist on break-and-hold above the listed resistance with rising volume; avoid chasing extended candles.
– For pullback entries, wait for basing or clear reversal cues near support; if supports fail on volume, step aside and re-evaluate at the next level.
– Size positions so a stop-out at the tighter stop risks no more than your predefined R per trade.
If you want me to add more names from this list (e.g., XPO, JBHT, TSM, COMM) with the same level detail, say the word and I’ll extend the playbook.
