Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (window analyzed: 2025-12-05 15:30 to 2025-12-08 11:00 EST)
Note on data: Only late 12/5 and the 12/8 open through late morning were provided. I anchor the commentary and levels to this window, with emphasis on the most recent 10 days conceptually, but signals are derived from the intraday 30-minute tape you shared.
- Semiconductors and Semi-Equipment: Broad early strength with selective leadership.
- Strong/bid: AMKR, NVMI, MPWR, ANET showed opening drive higher and held higher lows. CDNS modestly bid. NXPI steady. AMD range-bound and heavy into mid-morning.
- Softer: AMAT and LRCX faded after early pops, signaling rotation toward design/packaging/metrology over wafer-fab equipment today.
- Industrials/Infrastructure and Defense:
- ETN broke out through 343-345 with sustained volume — strongest industrial read.
- LMT range expansion through 460 with constructive pullbacks. BA steady grind.
- CLH firm; VMI choppy; HRI volatile fade after push.
- Materials/Construction: Mixed-to-soft. MLM gave back gains; VMC slipped after testing 300; EXP range-bound near 223.
- Transportation/Logistics: LSTR and JBHT trended higher off the open — constructive for short-term follow-through.
- Financials/Advisory: EVR gapped and trended to 336 before a controlled pullback — one of the cleaner breakouts. MKL firm. BLFY flat. HIFS spiky but illiquid.
- Energy/Retail fuel: FANG soft; MUSA trend day higher to 402+ with persistent demand.
- Biotech/Healthcare: Mixed-to-weak intraday (SVRA faded; RCUS sideways; BCYC contained).
Notable patterns
– Risk-on into quality large-cap industrials and select semis (ETN, LMT, MPWR, ANET, AMKR, NVMI).
– Rotation away from semi-cap equipment (AMAT/LRCX) intra-day despite broader semi strength.
– Consistent accumulation in retail fuel (MUSA) and advisory (EVR).
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to go up / show continuation:
– ETN, LMT, ANET, AMKR, MPWR, NVMI, MUSA, EVR
Strongest bullish signals today: ETN (breakout with volume), LMT (range expansion, strong bids on dips), MUSA (trend day), MPWR (testing 1000, controlled pullbacks), ANET (131–133 base/expansion), NVMI (330–334 expansion), EVR (gap-and-go with shallow pullback), AMKR (new short-term highs, heavy volume).
Individual Stock Analysis (levels, plan, and 30-minute-based path)
ETN
– Supports: 341.9–342.4; 340.0; 337.5–338.0
– Resistances: 344.3–344.8; 346.0; 348.0
– Next 2–3 day path: Expect a buy-the-dip into 342–340, then retest 344.8. Hold above 342 on 30-min closes favors 346 then 348 within 1–3 days.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 344.8, 346.0, stretch 348.0–350.0 if momentum persists.
– Entries: 342.1–342.5 or a reclaim of 344.0–344.3 after a dip.
– Stop-loss: Below 340.0 (tight) or 337.3 (looser, below demand zone).
LMT
– Supports: 458.5–459.2; 456.8; 453.5
– Resistances: 461.9–462.0; 465.0; 468.0
– Next 2–3 day path: Expect higher-low consolidation 458–460, then push through 462. A 30-min close >462 opens 465, then 467–468.
– Swing targets: 462.0, 465.0, 468.0.
– Entries: 459.0–459.5 on pullback; or momentum add >462 with volume.
– Stop-loss: 456.5 (below intraday shelf); fail-safe 453.2 (open pivot).
ANET
– Supports: 131.0–131.1; 130.5–130.9; 129.7–130.0
– Resistances: 132.3–132.7; 133.5; 135.0
– Next 2–3 day path: Flagging above 131. A clean 30-min close >132.7 targets 133.5, then 135 within 1–3 days if semis stay bid.
– Swing targets: 132.7, 133.5, 135.0.
– Entries: 131.1–131.4 pullback into VWAP-like support; or breakout >132.7.
– Stop-loss: 130.4 (beneath flag base); conservative 129.6 (gap anchor).
AMKR
– Supports: 44.05–44.20; 43.75–43.85; 43.30
– Resistances: 44.64; 44.98–45.00; 45.50
– Next 2–3 day path: Expect a shallow dip toward 44.1 and a grind back to 44.6–45. Break >45 opens 45.5.
– Swing targets: 44.6, 45.0, 45.5.
– Entries: 44.1–44.3 on pullback; add through 44.65 if volume builds.
– Stop-loss: 43.70 (beneath morning higher low); secondary 43.25.
MPWR
– Supports: 988–989; 984–985; 976–980
– Resistances: 994–1000; 1005; 1015
– Next 2–3 day path: Tight consolidation under 1000 sets up a measured break. 30-min close above 1000 targets 1005 then 1015. Lose 984 and expect a deeper reset toward 980.
– Swing targets: 1000, 1005, 1015.
– Entries: 984–988 pullback; momentum add on 1000 break with rising volume.
– Stop-loss: 979 (below demand band); tactical stop 983 if entering on breakout.
NVMI
– Supports: 331.0; 330.0; 328.0
– Resistances: 333.5; 334.0; 336.0
– Next 2–3 day path: Preference to hold 331–330 and push toward 333.5–334. Above 334 on 30-min close, 336 comes into play.
– Swing targets: 333.5, 334.0, 336.0.
– Entries: 330.8–331.2 on dip; or break >333.5 after a higher low.
– Stop-loss: 329.7 (tight); 327.8 (looser swing).
MUSA
– Supports: 398.5–399.0; 396.5; 392.5–393.5
– Resistances: 402.3; 405.0; 410.0
– Next 2–3 day path: Trend-day continuation set-up. Pullbacks into 398–399 likely get bought; sustained trade above 402.3 opens 405 then 410 within 1–3 days.
– Swing targets: 402.3, 405.0, 410.0.
– Entries: 398.8–399.5 buy-the-dip; or through 402.4 with strong breadth.
– Stop-loss: 395.5 (below higher-low cluster); conservative 392.0.
EVR
– Supports: 332.2–332.5; 330.5; 328.0–328.5
– Resistances: 335.3–336.2; 338.0; 340.0
– Next 2–3 day path: Gap-hold with shallow pullback is constructive. A 30-min reclaim >335.5 likely retests 336.2 then 338. Failure to hold 332 risks a fade to 330.5 before another attempt higher.
– Swing targets: 336.0, 338.0, 340.0.
– Entries: 332.5–333.0 on support hold; or >335.5 on momentum.
– Stop-loss: 330.3 (beneath support); looser 327.9 (gap risk control).
Secondary bullish watch (no full plan, but constructive): LSTR, JBHT, CDNS, NXPI. Neutral-to-soft near term: AMAT, LRCX, FANG, MLM, VMC, most small-cap biotechs in this tape.
Risk management notes
– The dataset is intraday and limited; use these levels as trade planning guides, then confirm with your own daily/weekly levels and live liquidity.
– Adjust position size to volatility; if entering on breakouts, keep stops tighter and be willing to re-enter on orderly retests.
If you want, I can add levels and trade plans for LSTR, JBHT, CDNS, or any other names in the list.
