Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed: 2025-12-08, 10:30–13:30)
Note: The upload contains intraday 30-minute bars for the window above. I center this read on today’s momentum and relative volume/strength; use your daily chart to confirm 10–30 day context before acting.
- Tech/Semis & Networking (ANET, MPWR, CDNS, MCHP, AMKR, NVMI, ALAB): Mixed-to-soft midday tape as large-cap semis and networking faded or chopped (ANET, MCHP, CDNS, MPWR), while selective names held an upside bias (ALAB strong breakout on expanding volume; AMKR/NVMI constructive). Theme: dispersion—beta works in the fresh leader(s) but broader semi/networking cooled intraday.
- Consumer Discretionary/Travel/Hardgoods (CVNA, ULCC, GPRO, BBWI, BLMN, DRI, MUSA): Risk-on in high-beta discretionary—CVNA trended with higher highs/lows on heavy volume; ULCC stair-stepped higher; GPRO firmed. Brick-and-mortar retail and restaurants were mixed to soft (BBWI faded; DRI/MUSA eased).
- Industrials/Infra/Aero/Logistics (ETN, VMC, PRIM, BA, LSTR, JBL): Mostly distributive intraday (ETN, VMC, PRIM, BA, JBL in sell/bounce mode); LSTR flat. Suggests a pause in the recent industrials run.
- Healthcare/Biotech/Med (NBIX, CRL, KRMD, SVRA, RCUS, PILL): Broadly weak intraday—consistent supply with lower highs and bids stepping down.
- Metals/Miners (VZLA): Silver miner showed steady bids and higher lows—constructive vs the tape.
- Gaming/Media (FLUT): Quiet but constructive grind higher—tight range, buyers nibbling.
- Financials (MKL, EVR, HIFS, FRFHF): Subdued/sloppy; no leadership.
Noticeable patterns
– Rotation toward high-beta discretionary and select emerging-tech leaders (CVNA, ALAB), with sustained intraday range expansion and strong closing posture.
– Profit-taking across industrials and many large-cap semis; breadth narrow.
– Defensives/healthcare lagged through mid-day.
– Tickers referenced: CVNA, ALAB, ULCC, GPRO, FLUT, AMKR, NVMI, ANET, MCHP, MPWR, CDNS, ETN, VMC, PRIM, BA, BBWI, DRI, MUSA, NBIX, CRL, KRMD, SVRA, RCUS, VZLA, MKL, EVR.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 sessions)
Likely upside continuation candidates:
– CVNA: Strong intraday trend, higher highs/lows, volume expansion—leadership behavior.
– ALAB: Breakout day with range expansion and persistent buying—momentum continuation favored.
– ULCC: Gradual, orderly advance with repeated highs—setup for a push over day’s high.
– FLUT: Tight drift up; a squeeze over intraday highs can extend.
– COMM: Accumulation intraday; poised for a 20-handle test.
– AMKR: Semi-backend with higher lows; constructive if semis stabilize.
– VZLA: Steady bid; metals tailwind could nudge a continuation.

Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing plans)
Note on ATR targets: Because only today’s intraday window was provided, ATR-based levels below use a conservative proxy from today’s realized range (approximate). Confirm with your platform’s 14-day ATR before execution.
CVNA
– Support: 452.0–452.3; 447.5; 444.2
– Resistance: 455.3 (HOD); 460.0; 468–470
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Holding above 452 favors a re-test of 455–456; a clean breakout can magnetize 460, then 465–468. Lose 452 and a backfill to 447–444 likely before buyers retry.
– Swing price targets:
– Near resistance: 457–460 then 465–468
– ATR-proxy targets (today’s range ~13): +6–7 to 461–462 (1-day), +12–13 to 467–470 (1–3 days)
– Entries: Pullback buy 452–453; or breakout buy ≥455.6 with volume.
– Stop-loss: 447.0 (tight) or 443.8 (roomy, below demand).
ALAB
– Support: 174.2–174.5; 173.1; 169.9–170.0 (breakout pivot)
– Resistance: 176.2 (HOD); 178.5–179.5; 182–185
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Consolidation above 174–175 favors a push through 176–177, then momentum extensions into 179–182. Failure back below 173 opens a test of 170.
– Swing price targets:
– Near resistance: 176.5–177.5; 179.5–182
– ATR-proxy (today’s range ~9): +4–5 to 179–180 (1-day), +8–9 to 183–185 (1–3 days)
– Entries: Buy 174.5–175.0 on controlled dip; or ≥176.3 breakout trigger.
– Stop-loss: 172.8 (beneath intraday base) or 169.7 (below pivot).
ULCC
– Support: 5.50–5.51; 5.47–5.48; 5.43
– Resistance: 5.54 (HOD); 5.60; 5.75
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Tight staircase higher; hold above 5.50 and a break >5.54 targets 5.60 then 5.65–5.75. Lose 5.47 and a reset to 5.43 may be needed.
– Swing price targets:
– Near resistance: 5.58–5.60; 5.65–5.75
– ATR-proxy (range ~0.13): +0.06–0.07 to ~5.57–5.58 (1-day), +0.12–0.13 to ~5.63–5.64 (1–3 days)

– Resistance: 19.90–19.97; 20.00; 20.25
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Accumulation under 20; breaks above 19.95–20.00 set 20.20–20.25. Failure back through 19.60 risks 19.50 retest.
– Swing price targets:
– Near resistance: 19.95–20.05; 20.20–20.30
– ATR-proxy (range ~0.43): +0.20–0.25 to ~19.95–20.00 (1-day), +0.40–0.45 to ~20.15–20.20 (1–3 days)

– Resistance: 44.89; 45.18; 45.50
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Constructive higher lows; above 44.60 a test of 44.89/45.18 is likely. Break and hold over 45.18 opens 45.5–45.8.
– Swing price targets:
– Near resistance: 45.00–45.20; 45.50–45.80
– ATR-proxy (range ~1.00): +0.50 to ~45.20 (1-day), +1.00 to ~45.70 (1–3 days)

– Resistance: 5.08–5.10; 5.15; 5.25
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Steady bids; reclaim and hold 5.08–5.10 to target 5.15 then 5.20–5.25. Lose 5.00 and momentum likely pauses.
– Swing price targets:
– Near resistance: 5.10–5.15; 5.20–5.25
– ATR-proxy (range ~0.08): +0.04 to ~5.11 (1-day), +0.08 to ~5.15 (1–3 days)

Quick notes on what to fade/avoid for long swings near-term (unless they reclaim levels with volume): ANET, ETN, VMC, PRIM, BA, MCHP, NBIX, CRL, DRI, MUSA, JBL, RCUS, SVRA—intraday supply and lower highs argue for patience.
Risk management
– Size down into strength leaders (CVNA/ALAB) after breakouts; add only on constructive retests.
– Respect stops—momentum unwinds are fast in this tape.
– If broader semis remain mixed, favor relative-strength names (ALAB, AMKR) over laggards.
