Note: The data provided covers an intraday window on 2026-01-12. I’m emphasizing the most recent action (today’s 30-min bars) as a proxy for 1–3 day momentum; validate daily zones on your charts.
- Semiconductors/Automation: Quality leadership showed relative strength. MPWR and CAMT stair-stepped to/near HODs; SYM firmed; KLIC faded; NVTS sold off after an early pop. Read: rotation to quality semis (MPWR, CAMT) while lower-cap power semi (NVTS) lagged.

- Crypto miners: Mixed but improving. RIOT stair-stepped higher; ARBK broke higher late; HUT lagged/slightly heavy. Read: selective risk-on within miners, favor higher-liquidity leaders (RIOT).
- Consumer (Staples/Discretionary): Strong rotation. COST marched to HOD; DG edged up; FIVE broke out and held gains; BOOT firm; CASY faded intraday. Read: both staples and selective discretionary bid, with FIVE/COST showing clean trend structure.

- Materials/Energy/Metals: MP continued a strong push with expanding volume; METC reversed higher late; UAN illiquid; EOSE choppy. Read: rare-earths (MP) leading; coal (METC) recovering.
- Healthcare/Bio: IDXX steady grind up; NEOV curled up into HOD on rising volume; TWST faded; MRVI weak; TMDX pulled back. Read: large-cap diagnostics steady; small-cap biotech selective momentum (NEOV).

Additional quick reads (not in top list)
– KLIC: Weak intraday; avoid longs until it reclaims 56.50–57 with volume.
– NVTS: Trend-down day; needs reclaim >10.30 for any bounce attempt.
– HUT vs ARBK: Prefer ARBK on relative strength; HUT heavy.
Risk management
– Use smaller size into breakouts; add on confirmed retests.
– Adjust stops if a session closes below key support on rising volume.
– For high-dollar names (GS, COST, MPWR), consider options to control risk.
