Continuation Breakout Monday 2PM 10/06/2025

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (data received range in EST)

• Window analyzed: 2025-10-06, 11:30–14:00 EST, 30-minute bars.
• Important note: Only intraday slices for 10/06 were provided. A true 30-day/10-day daily-candle study isn’t possible from this dataset. Below I emphasize today’s momentum/volume as a proxy for short-term swing context and call out levels/zones that typically align with daily supply/demand. Validate them on your daily chart before execution.

Sector/industry takeaways from today’s flow:

• Semis/HW (LRCX, ASML, ARM): constructive grind higher with higher lows into early afternoon; LRCX pushed to HOD into close of window, ASML stayed firm, ARM stabilized after a dip. This reads as risk-on but not euphoric.
• Software/Cyber (DDOG, CYBR, ACN): steady bid and clean intraday trend structure. DDOG stair-stepped to new session highs; CYBR pushed and held near highs. Breadth here outperformed.
• Defense/Aero (LHX, NOC, KTOS, BWXT): firm but measured. NOC/LHX held small gains; KTOS was choppy inside range. Accumulation without chase.
• Construction/Infra (VMC, PWR, EME): mixed-to-firm; VMC/EME held higher ranges, PWR digested. Rotation-friendly, not leading.
• Healthcare/Biotech (ASND, RGEN, IMNM, CYTK, ORIC, LGND, BCAX, ZBIO, ADCT, CRBU, ZVRA): selective momentum. ASND/RGEN trended up; IMNM showed the clearest momentum pivot (series of higher highs with expanding volume). Some small/mid-cap bios (BCAX, BCAB) showed expansion; others faded spikes (ORIC).
• Metals/Gold leverage (JNUG, NUGT, MUX): constructive intraday uptrends; MUX and both levered ETFs climbed gradually—gold complex had a bid.
• Crypto-exposed (HIVE, ETHT, APLD): early pop then fade to range; rotation was present but lacked clean follow-through by 14:00.
• Discretionary/Travel (ULTA, BKNG): ULTA trended cleanly higher; BKNG had a volatility spike and then cooled—tactical only.
• Energy (MPC): tight, indecisive range.

Notable intraday patterns

• Multiple tech/software names formed tight uptrends with shallow pullbacks (DDOG, CYBR).
• Semis showed grindy accumulation (LRCX, ASML) rather than breakouts—often a precursor to next-session pushes if futures stay supportive.
• IMNM printed a midday momentum expansion with rising participation—often continues after a small dip-and-go.
• Gold complex bid persisted through the window (JNUG/NUGT/MUX), a mild tailwind if dollar/yields ease.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to continue higher (momentum + volume structure):

• DDOG – clean intraday trend, higher highs, held gains.
• CYBR – near-HOD close in our window, steady accumulation.
• LRCX – grind to HOD; semis constructive broadly.
• ASND – steady bid and range expansion.
• IMNM – strongest momentum inflection among small/mid-cap bios.
• ULTA – strong discretionary trend, shallow pullbacks.
• Optional metals momentum tailwind: JNUG (levered) or MUX (single-name).

Strongest bullish signals today: IMNM, DDOG, CYBR.

Risk management and notes

• Because only a partial intraday set was provided, treat the above as a momentum map. Before entries, confirm:

– Daily trend alignment (higher highs/lows), and that today’s levels correspond to real daily supply/demand.
– Broader market tone (futures/sector ETFs) supports continuation.

• Position sizing: scale smaller on the higher-beta names (IMNM, JNUG).
• If first push fails at initial resistance, expect a retest of S1 before a more durable move.

If you can share the last 30 days of daily candles/volume for these tickers, I’ll refine the daily zones and ATR-based targets precisely.
