February 2, 2026 4 min read

Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2026-01-30 15:00 to 2026-02-02 13:00, with most tickers only 2026-02-02 11:00–13:00 intraday 30‑minute bars provided. Note: 30-day and 10-day daily aggregates were not included; conclusions emphasize the latest intraday momentum and relative strength versus SPY/QQQ and sector peers as a proxy for short-term swing setups.

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Market posture: SPY and QQQ trended modestly higher through midday (steady higher highs/higher lows; light grind), providing a constructive backdrop for momentum continuations.
– Industrials broadly showed relative strength and orderly accumulation:
– Leaders/steady climbers: ETN (357→359 push), CAT (679→686 trend higher), CMI (585→589), MLM (652→656), JBHT (holding gains and testing HOD), EME (bid into 731, tight).
– Read-through: continued demand for capex/industrial exposure; dips were bought; pullbacks shallow.
– Tech/Semis mixed-to-positive:
– Strength: TXN stair-stepped higher (220.7→222.3). DOCN had a clear range expansion with a sharp 12:30–13:00 push on volume. MSCI advanced into 625s.
– Mixed/choppy: COHR popped then faded; AMZN unable to hold highs and slipped late in the window.
– Biotech/Healthcare mixed with pockets of momentum:
– Strength: PCVX trended up all session to new intraday highs; IMNM built a higher‑low ladder and closed strong. VRTX steady bid.
– Softer/indecisive: DNLI, ALDX, IRWD ranged; REGN drifted lower; AMGN flat; LLY firm but contained.
– Defense/Telecom/Other:
– LMT faded intraday; ERIC and SKM range-bound.
– Transports constructive: FDX stable; JBHT pressing highs.
– Volume character: Where breakouts occurred (DOCN, PCVX), they were accompanied by clear bar-over-bar volume upticks versus earlier 30-min bars—typical of actionable short-term momentum.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation candidates based on intraday momentum, relative strength to SPY/QQQ, and volume behavior:
– ETN, CAT, TXN, DOCN, PCVX, IMNM, JBHT
Strongest bullish signals within that group:
– DOCN (range expansion + clear volume surge at 12:30–13:00)
– PCVX (persistent higher highs/higher lows with closing strength)
– ETN (industrial leader making successive higher highs; shallow pullbacks)
– IMNM (orderly higher-lows and firm close)

Individual Stock Analysis
Note: With only intraday data provided, key levels below are derived from the latest 30‑min highs/lows and nearby psychological levels; validate against your daily chart before execution.

1) ETN
– Support: 357.27, 356.57, 355.33
– Resistance: 359.12, 360.00, 362.90 (measured move)
– 30‑min read + next 2–3 days: Expect an initial dip buy scenario toward 357.3–357.8; a hold above 357 opens a retest of 359.1. Break/hold over 359.1 targets a 360 round-number magnet; sustained risk-on could extend toward 362.9 (359.1 + ~3.8 intraday range).
– Entries: 357.6–358.1 on a controlled pullback; add over 359.2 on volume.
– Stop-loss: 356.4 (tighter) or 355.2 (beneath session pivot low).
– Targets: T1 359.1, T2 360.5, T3 362.9.

– Resistance: 686.73, 689.00–690.00, 696.10 (measured move)
– 30‑min read + next 2–3 days: Strong intraday uptrend. Look for a backtest of 684.5–685; if defended, expect a push through 686.7 toward 689–690. If momentum persists, measured extension targets ~696.1 (686.7 + ~9.4 range).
– Entries: 684.6–685.2 on pullback; momentum add >686.8 with rising volume.
– Stop-loss: 682.7 (tight) or 679.5 (structure).

– Resistance: 222.38–222.47, 223.00, 225.30 (measured move)
– 30‑min read + next 2–3 days: Grinding trend higher with QQQ tailwind. A shallow pullback to 221.8–222.0 that holds should set up a break of 222.4–222.5, opening 223 and a 1–3 day extension toward ~225.3 (222.5 + ~2.8 range).
– Entries: 221.8–222.0; add >222.5 on expansion.
– Stop-loss: 221.2 (tight) or 220.4 (beneath morning base).
– Targets: T1 222.5, T2 223.5, T3 225.3.

– 30‑min read + next 2–3 days: Clean range expansion at 12:30–13:00 with volume. Expect buy-the-dip interest near 59.1–59.3; reclaim of 59.7–59.9 sets 60–60.5, with a 1–3 day stretch into ~61.3 (59.9 + ~1.4 range).
– Entries: 59.1–59.3 on a controlled dip; breakout add through 59.9/60.0 with volume.

– 30‑min read + next 2–3 days: Trend up with higher highs into the close. A controlled dip to 56.0–56.4 that holds should set a push through 56.77/57.00. Momentum continuation can target ~58.6 (56.8 + ~1.85 range).
– Entries: 56.0–56.4; add >56.8 on expanding volume.

– Support: 209.40, 208.50, 207.46
– Resistance: 209.95, 210.50, 211.50 (stretch)
– 30‑min read + next 2–3 days: Transports constructive and JBHT pressed session highs late. Expect a dip toward 209.0–209.4; hold there favors a breakout through 209.95 toward 210.5. Follow-through could test 211.5 within 1–3 days.

Additional notes and risk management
– Market context: If SPY/QQQ lose their intraday higher‑low structure, favor taking partials quicker and honoring tighter stops.
– Liquidity/volume: The best momentum continuations above rely on renewed volume expansion on breaks of listed resistance.
– Validation: Since full 10–30 day daily data weren’t included, confirm these intraday-derived zones against your daily chart to align swings with higher timeframe supply/demand.
