Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-10-27 11:00–14:00. Note: the upload contains only today’s intraday 30‑minute bars, not the prior 30 days; I’m inferring 1–3 day momentum potential from today’s price/volume behavior and obvious intraday supply/demand zones that often carry into the next sessions.
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis:
– Biotech/Pharma led risk-on flows: sustained intraday strength and rising volume across ELDN, VRDN, CABA, XERS, APLS, ALNY, MDGL. Patterns: higher highs/higher lows on 30-min, late-session holding of gains, and heavier mid-day volume (ELDN, VRDN, CABA) consistent with accumulation.
– Healthcare diversified was mixed: HCA trended modestly higher intraday; CI faded late. Aesthetics (ESTA) softened.
– Tech/Info services constructive: EQIX and IT held steady bids; TECX printed a clean late-bar breakout with a volume surge, a classic short-term momentum tell.
– Financials sluggish: SPGI flat-to-soft; LPLA drifted lower.
– Energy mixed: BOIL (nat gas ETF) put in a reversal with range expansion and strong buy volume; GEOS sold off intraday.
– Small/illiquid tickers show noise/liquidity risk: ADYYF, JZ, GDTC, OMSE — wide spreads/tiny prints; I exclude them from actionable setups.
Noticeable trends/patterns:
– Momentum breadth within biotech (ELDN, VRDN, CABA, XERS, APLS) with volume expansion and closes near session highs favors near-term continuation squeezes.
– A late-session range expansion signal in TECX and a reversal in BOIL can feed 1–3 day follow-through, especially if futures risk-on persists.
– Defensive/quality large caps (EQIX, IT) stable; financials showing relative weakness (SPGI, LPLA).
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days):
– Most likely to push higher: ELDN, VRDN, CABA, XERS, BOIL, APLS. Secondary/steadier follow-through candidates: ALNY, MDGL, EQIX, TECX.
– Strongest bullish signals today:
– ELDN: multi-hour trend, higher highs, heavy and persistent buy volume.
– VRDN: stair-step advance with rising volume and close near HOD.
– XERS: clean intraday uptrend with accumulating volume.
– BOIL: reversal + range expansion reclaiming VWAP-like areas; buyers controlled late.
– APLS: higher high and strong close; constructive 30-min structure.
– TECX: breakout bar with a clear volume spike.
Individual Stock Analysis (setups for the next 1–3 days)
Note: Levels derived from today’s intraday structure and common round-number supply/demand zones; use as tactical reference on opens/pulls.
1) ELDN
– Key supports: 3.70; 3.65–3.66; 3.60
– Key resistances: 3.78–3.80; 3.90; 4.00
– 30‑min price action view (2–3 days): Expect brief digestion 3.68–3.78 then a push toward 3.85–3.95. A strong gap/open over 3.80 can magnet 3.90–4.00.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): T1 3.85–3.90; T2 3.98–4.00; stretch 4.15 if momentum persists.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 3.66–3.72 (prior demand).
– Breakout buy over 3.80 with volume confirmation.
– Stop-loss ideas: 3.58 (beneath 3.60 base); tighter: 3.64 if entering on breakout.

2) VRDN
– Key supports: 22.60–22.65; 22.45; 22.35–22.40
– Key resistances: 22.80; 23.00; 23.50
– 30‑min price action view (2–3 days): Continuation favored while above 22.60; look for a flag under 22.80 and a pop to/through 23.00. Failure back inside 22.45 suggests a deeper retest.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): T1 22.95–23.05; T2 23.30; stretch 23.70.
– Entries:
– Pullback 22.55–22.65 with higher low on 5–15 min.
– Break of 22.80 with expanding volume.
– Stop-loss ideas: 22.35 (below intraday demand); tighter: 22.48 on breakout.
–
3) CABA
– Key supports: 2.75–2.78; 2.72–2.73; 2.68
– Key resistances: 2.83; 2.90; 3.00
– 30‑min price action view (2–3 days): Strong accumulation profile; look for a tight base 2.76–2.82 and continuation over 2.83 toward round numbers.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): T1 2.90; T2 2.98–3.00; stretch 3.10–3.15.
– Entries:
– Buy dips 2.75–2.78 if volume stays constructive.
– Add through 2.83 breakout.
– Stop-loss ideas: 2.66–2.68 (below session low); tighter: 2.72 on second entries.

4) XERS
– Key supports: 9.25–9.30; 9.20; 9.10
– Key resistances: 9.40; 9.50; 9.75
– 30‑min price action view (2–3 days): Expect a shallow pullback/flag around 9.28–9.35 and a push through 9.40 toward 9.50. Momentum continuation likely while above 9.20.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): T1 9.48–9.50; T2 9.65–9.70; stretch 9.90–10.00.
– Entries:
– Buy 9.28–9.32 on dip if bid holds.

5) BOIL
– Key supports: 29.00; 28.80–28.85; 28.55
– Key resistances: 29.40; 30.00; 30.50
– 30‑min price action view (2–3 days): Reversal + range expansion suggests upside follow-through if 29.00 holds. Expect chop 29.00–29.40 then attempt at 30.00 if nat gas stays bid.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): T1 29.90–30.00; T2 30.30–30.50; stretch 31.00.
– Entries:
– Buy dips 28.95–29.05 with tight risk.

–
6) APLS
– Key supports: 29.30; 29.10–29.15; 28.95
– Key resistances: 29.62; 30.00; 30.50
– 30‑min price action view (2–3 days): Constructive higher high and hold; look for a flag under 29.60 and push into 30.00. Loss of 29.10 risks a deeper retrace.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): T1 29.95–30.00; T2 30.30; stretch 30.80–31.00.
– Entries:
– Buy 29.12–29.20 on dip if buyers step in.
– Add through 29.62–29.65 with volume.
– Stop-loss ideas: 28.92–28.95 (below demand zone); tighter: 29.05 for breakout adds.
–
Secondary watch (constructive but less explosive setups):
– ALNY: steady bid; watch 479.70–480.60 for continuation; support 478.0/477.7; target 482–486.
– MDGL: momentum intact; support 431–429; resistance 433.5/436.8; targets 437–442 if it clears 433.5 with volume.
– EQIX: accumulation tone; support 847–848; resistance 851; targets 853–858 on a clean 851 break.
– TECX: late breakout; support 18.00; resistance 18.60; targets 18.80–19.10 if 18.60 holds.
Risk notes:
– Liquidity matters. Avoid or size down in very thin names (ADYYF, JZ, GDTC, OMSE).
– Without 30‑day ATRs, targets are anchored to today’s structure and typical round-number magnet areas; adjust to real ATRs at the open.
– Use partial entries and trail stops as levels break/hold to manage gap risk.
