Continuation Breakout Monday 3PM 12/29/2025

December 29, 2025 5 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (window analyzed: 2025-12-29 12:30–15:00 EST, 30‑minute bars)

  • High-level read: Semiconductors and AI-adjacent tech led late-day momentum (AMD, MU, SNPS, LPTH), with broad but modest bid in mega-cap internet (GOOGL). Aerospace & Defense was steady-to-firm (BA, ESLT, LMT), Retail mixed with a strong finish in DDS, while Biotech was choppy-to-soft (LPCN pop-and-fade; KYTX, LRMR weak). Energy (GPOR) and some IT/Software (IT, TYL, HUBS) were rangebound. Materials (AA) ticked up late.
  • Notable patterns across sectors:
    • Semis/AI: Higher lows into the close and late range expansions suggest dip-buying and continuation potential. AMD and MU stair-stepped higher; SNPS pivoted higher with an end-of-window push; LPTH (optics) posted a decisive late breakout on volume.
    • Internet/Platforms: GOOGL showed steady grind higher with higher lows and a strong last 60 minutes.
    • Aerospace & Defense: Slow accumulation tone; BA and ESLT held bids; LMT, TDG were tight, suggesting potential for continuation on any sector catalyst.
    • Retail/Consumer: DDS pushed to session highs late; CASY stayed tight.
    • Biotech/Spec: Mixed-to-weak intraday tape—failed momentum (LPCN), fades (KYTX), and drifts (LRMR).
    • Energy: GPOR chopped within a narrow band; no clear momentum catalyst in this window.

Note: You requested a 30‑day/10‑day review; only today’s intraday slices were provided. The reads below emphasize this session’s 30‑minute structure and volume behaviors as a proxy for near-term momentum.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 sessions)

Most constructive for upside follow-through:

  • AMD, MU, SNPS, GOOGL, LPTH, MELI, DDS, MULL

Strongest bullish signals:

  • LPTH: Breakout into close with volume expansion and new HOD.
  • AMD: Persistent higher lows, closing near highs, strong sector tailwind.
  • MU: Trend day higher with a late push and well-defined supports.
  • SNPS: Afternoon pivot and push; closes near session highs.
  • MELI: Reversal from mid-day dip, aggressive late reclaim of intraday range.
  • DDS: Late-day breakout to new session highs.
  • MULL: Steady ramp with higher highs into the close.

Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing setups)
Levels anchored to today’s 30‑min highs/lows and nearby round/obvious zones given the data window.

1) AMD

  • Bias: Bullish continuation if dips are bought above 214.7.

Additional quick reads (not primary longs, but on watch)

  • BA/ESLT: Constructive but slower. If sector rotation favors Defense/Aero, watch BA 217.8→218.5 and ESLT 577.6→579 for slow grinds higher.
  • TYL/IT/HUBS: Mostly rangebound; need clean breakouts with volume to confirm.
  • GPOR/AA: Mild strength but no clear momentum in this window.
  • Biotech (LPCN, KYTX, LRMR): Mixed/weak; avoid longs unless fresh catalysts and strong reclaim of intraday levels.

Risk management and notes

  • These setups are derived from a narrow intraday window; without full 10–30 day context/ATR, targets use nearby resistances and conservative range extensions. Favor partial entries on pullbacks, avoid chasing if volume/market breadth fades, and respect stops just below the nearest well-tested supports.
