Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2026-01-12 from roughly 12:00 to 15:00 on 30‑minute bars across the provided tickers. Only this intraday slice was supplied, so I anchor the 1–3 day swing view to today’s momentum, volume ramps, and closing position vs. range.
- Semiconductors and chip equipment led on momentum and accumulation:
- Breakout/accumulation tone in CRDO (151.4→155.5 into the close, high 156.4), NVTS (heavy volume trend to 10.38), NVMI (bid to 406), ACLS (steady climb to 97.52), CAMT (higher-highs before a shallow fade), MPWR (tight, firm).
- Tickers: CRDO, NVTS, NVMI, ACLS, CAMT, MPWR.
- Crypto miners/exposure firm to strong:
- RIOT stair-stepped higher all afternoon, closed at high-of-day; HUT reclaimed and closed near the day’s high; ARBK advanced; BKKT spiked then flagged.
- Tickers: RIOT, HUT, ARBK, BKKT.
- Financials tilted bullish:
- GS pushed to a late session high; MSCI and MCO were constructive; AMP held steady; PJT/HLI mostly flat.
- Tickers: GS, MSCI, MCO, AMP.
- Industrials were mixed-to-soft:
- CAT, CMI, TT, EMR, VMI, WCC were flat to slightly lower intraday. ESE, VSEC held firm but range-bound.
- Retail/consumer discretionary were mixed with late-day fades:
- COST firm; DLTR/DG mostly flat; FIVE, BOOT, BURL faded in the last hour; CASY slid.
- Energy/materials mixed:
- Uranium: UEC firm; CCJ flat. Rare earths: MP sold off through afternoon. NIKL (nickel) steady grind.
- Small-cap “risk-on” pockets showed range expansion:
- SDOT exploded then retraced; BKSY trended cleanly higher and closed strong; FRMI trended up on rising volume; EOSE soft.
Notable cross-basket patterns
– Strong closes near high-of-day with rising volume (RIOT, GS, BKSY, CRDO, NVTS) favor 1–3 day continuation.
– Late-day fades in several retailers and industrials suggest rotation toward semis/crypto/selected financials within this basket.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to push higher (strongest momentum/structure):
– RIOT, HUT (crypto miners): Higher-lows, high-volume push, strong closes.
– CRDO, NVTS (semis/power/optical): Breakout/accumulation with expanding range and volume.
– BKSY (aerospace/space analytics): Clean uptrend, closes at highs.
– GS (financial): Power trend into highs late-day.
Secondary bullish watch: ACLS (semi equipment) on orderly uptrend into close.
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Key levels derive from today’s intraday pivots and obvious round-number supply/demand; targets ladder to nearby resistance and recent intraday range. Use confirmation on entries.
RIOT
– Support: 16.00; 15.86–15.87 (14:00/14:30 pivot); 15.71.
– Resistance: 16.27 (HOD); 16.50; 17.00.
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): As long as price holds above 16.00–15.86, look for a push through 16.27 toward 16.50; sustained acceptance above 16.50 opens 16.90–17.00. Losing 15.71 would likely trigger a deeper backfill toward 15.40s.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 16.50 (T1), 16.90 (T2), 17.40 (stretch).
– Entries:
– Pullback-reclaim near 16.00–16.05 with higher-low confirmation.
– Breakout >16.28–16.30 on volume; add on a clean retest holding 16.25–16.30.
– Stop-loss: 15.68–15.70 (beneath 15.71 pivot) or tighter 15.84 for breakout scalps.
HUT
– Support: 61.00; 60.64; 60.40 (session low).
– Resistance: 61.33 (HOD); 62.00; 63.00.
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Holding 61.00 keeps momentum intact for a run through 61.33 toward 61.80–62.00. Above 62, room to 62.50–63.00. A break back below 60.64 risks a probe to 60.40.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 61.80 (T1), 62.50 (T2), 63.50 (stretch).
– Entries:
– Pullback to 60.90–61.05 with buyers stepping in.
– Break >61.35 with expanding volume; validate on a retest holding 61.20–61.25.
– Stop-loss: 60.35 (beneath low) or 60.55 if using a tighter risk band.
CRDO
– Support: 155.10–155.13; 154.42; 152.07.
– Resistance: 156.00–156.43 (intraday supply); 158.00; 160.00.
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Constructive as long as 155 holds. Push/hold above 156.00–156.43 should extend toward 158. A strong day could test 160 if semis remain bid.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 156.40 (T1 retest), 158.00 (T2), 160.00 (stretch).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 155.10–155.50 with a higher-low.
– Break-and-hold above 156.45 with volume.
– Stop-loss: 154.10–153.90 (below the 154.4 shelf).
NVTS
– Support: 10.25; 10.20–10.22; 10.09–10.10.
– Resistance: 10.40; 10.50; 10.75–10.80.
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Strong volume trend day favors continuation if 10.25 holds. Break >10.40 targets 10.50 first; acceptance above 10.50 opens 10.65–10.80.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 10.50 (T1), 10.65 (T2), 10.80 (stretch).
– Entries:
– Pullback to 10.25–10.30 with a reversal candle on 30-min.
– Breakout add above 10.40 with sustained volume.
– Stop-loss: 10.17; final invalidation 10.05 (loss of base).
BKSY
– Support: 26.43; 26.22; 25.90–25.95.
– Resistance: 26.77 (HOD); 27.00; 27.50.
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Trend intact while above 26.22–26.43. Clearing 26.77 should press to 27.00–27.10; strong tape could explore 27.50.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 27.10 (T1), 27.50 (T2), 28.20 (stretch if momentum broadens).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 26.40–26.50; alternative add on 26.80 break and hold.
– Stop-loss: 26.15 (beneath shelf) or wider 25.85 to allow noise.
GS
– Support: 948.21; 945.76–945.90; 943.70.
– Resistance: 950.00; 955.00–956.00; 960.00–962.00.
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Momentum close favors a 950 test early; hold above 950 sets 952.5→956, then 960+. Lose 945.7 and the momentum thesis weakens; 943.7 would be next check.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 952.5 (T1), 956–957 (T2), 962–965 (stretch).
– Entries:
– Pullback toward 948.5–949.0 with buyers defending.
– Break-and-go through 950 with confirmation; add on a 950 retest that holds 949.5+.
– Stop-loss: 944.9 (beneath 945.7 pivot) or 943.5 if giving it more room.
ACLS (bonus watch)
– Support: 96.75; 96.52; 96.00.
– Resistance: 97.61 (session high); 98.00; 99.00.
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Higher-lows into the close. Above 96.75, look for 97.60→98.00; sustained strength could attempt 99.00 if semis continue to lead.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 98.00 (T1), 98.80 (T2), 99.80 (stretch).
– Entries:
– Pullback to 96.70–96.80 with reversal signal.
– Break >97.65 on volume.
– Stop-loss: 96.10 (beneath 96.52 pivot).
Execution notes
– Use smaller size on initial probes; add only on confirmation (reclaim/hold of breakout levels or higher-lows at supports).
– If volume dries up on breakouts, expect fake-outs; default to buying pullbacks at support with tight stops.
– Broader rotation within this basket currently favors semis, crypto-linked names, and select financials; fade late-day laggards in retailers/industrials unless they reclaim key levels with volume.
