Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range analyzed: 2026-01-12, roughly 13:00–16:00 EST)
Note: Your upload contains intraday 30-minute bars from the afternoon of 2026-01-12 only. I emphasize the most recent 10 bars where available and infer daily zones from this session’s structure and obvious psychological levels.
- Crypto miners/payments strongest momentum: RIOT, HUT, ARBK all pushed into power hour with expanding volume; RIOT closed near HOD. BKKT stabilized after midday selloff. This group showed clean higher-high/higher-low sequences on 30-min bars, a classic short-term momentum tell.
- Semis/equipment mixed-to-soft except select power names: NVTS stair-stepped up through 10.50 before a controlled pullback; NVMI/MPWR/CAMT/ACLS faded late with heavier final bars, suggesting supply at highs. Rotation favored smaller-cap power/analog (NVTS) over large-cap semi equipment.
- Industrials/capital goods firm: CAT, CMI, TT, EMR, VMI all bid up into the close with broad participation on the last bar, constructive for near-term follow-through in cyclicals.
- Financials steady grind higher: GS at/near HOD into the bell; MS, AMP, MCO, HLI, PJT firm. Late-day strength plus rising volumes suggests buy-the-dip appetite remains.
- Retail/restaurants broadly constructive: DLTR ripped into the close; TXRH, DRI and EAT pushed higher late; COST held range; off-price/specialty mixed (BURL/FIVE range-bound; BOOT recovered). Discretionary showed risk appetite.
- Energy transition/materials mixed: UEC (uranium) attempted 16.00 breakout on heavy power-hour volume; CCJ faded modestly; MP recovered strongly in the final bar; METC bounced from intraday lows. Leadership was stock-specific with UEC strongest.
- Small/micro-cap momentum bifurcated: FRMI explosive breakout and held highs; NVTX highly volatile but elevated; SDOT/EOSE trended down into the close (supply overhead), caution there.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to continue up:
– RIOT, UEC, NVTS, FRMI, DLTR, RKLB
Strongest bullish signals today:
– RIOT (power-hour push to HOD, expanding volume), UEC (near-break over 16 on strong volume), FRMI (breakout and close at highs), NVTS (ascending 30-min structure), DLTR (impulsive power-hour ramp), RKLB (higher highs with firm close).
Individual Stock Analysis (setups for likely 1–3 day upside)
Note: Supports/resistances reflect obvious near-term daily zones derived from today’s structure plus round-number pivots. Price targets use nearby resistance and recent intraday range as a proxy for ATR.
1) RIOT
– Structure: Higher highs/higher lows all afternoon; strong power-hour volume; close ~16.47.
– Key support (3): 16.10; 15.86; 15.71.
– Key resistance (3): 16.60; 16.90; 17.50.
– Next 2–3 days (30-min read): Favor an early dip to ~16.10–16.25 that gets bought, then a push through 16.60. Continuation if BTC stays bid.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 16.60; T2 16.90; T3 17.40–17.50.
– Entry plan: Scale 16.10–16.25 on a controlled pullback or above 16.60 on strength (momentum add).
– Stop-loss: 15.68–15.70 (below intraday base).
2) UEC
– Structure: Strong afternoon bid; attempted 16.00, closed ~15.95 with heavy power-hour volume.
– Key support (3): 15.80; 15.73; 15.68.
– Key resistance (3): 16.00; 16.20; 16.50.
– Next 2–3 days: Look for a retest of 15.80–15.85, then a clean 16.00 reclaim/hold. Holding over 16.00 opens 16.20/16.50.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 16.20; T2 16.50; T3 16.80.
– Entry plan: Nibble 15.80–15.85; add on 16.00→16.05 hold.
– Stop-loss: 15.60 (beneath demand shelf).
3) NVTS
– Structure: Ascending afternoon trend to 10.55 H, settled ~10.35; big volume throughout the last 10 bars.
– Key support (3): 10.27; 10.23; 10.10.
– Key resistance (3): 10.50; 10.70; 11.00.
– Next 2–3 days: Expect an early probe to 10.25–10.30; if buyers defend, a reclaim of 10.50 should bring 10.70 next.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 10.55–10.60; T2 10.70; T3 10.95–11.00.
– Entry plan: Accumulate 10.25–10.35; momentum add on 10.50 break/hold.
– Stop-loss: 10.18 (below intraday higher low cluster).
4) FRMI
– Structure: Breakout day; stair-step all afternoon; closed at highs ~10.50 on surging volume.
– Key support (3): 10.26; 10.00; 9.85.
– Key resistance (3): 10.60; 11.00; 11.50.
– Next 2–3 days: Look for a shallow backtest toward 10.20–10.30; holding 10.26 keeps momentum intact for 10.90–11.00.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 10.90; T2 11.20; T3 11.50.
– Entry plan: Buy 10.20–10.35 pullbacks; add on 10.60 break with volume.
– Stop-loss: 9.93–10.00 (below round-number and breakout line).
5) DLTR

– 1–3 day targets: T1 137.90–138.00; T2 138.80–139.00; T3 140.00.

– Stop-loss: 135.50 (below demand shelf).
6) RKLB
– Structure: Higher highs through the afternoon; close ~87.90, just under intraday high 88.45; strong participation on the last bars.
– Key support (3): 87.41; 86.88; 86.12.
– Key resistance (3): 88.45; 89.00; 90.00.
– Next 2–3 days: Expect an initial test of 87.50–87.70; holding that, a push through 88.45 can open a trend day toward 89–90.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 88.50–88.80; T2 89.50; T3 90.50–91.50.
– Entry plan: Buy 87.50–87.80 pullbacks; add on 88.45 breakout.
– Stop-loss: 86.80 (below the afternoon higher-low band).
Additional themes to watch (not fully detailed):
– VSEC: Strong spike/close at HOD; fresh momentum candidate if it holds 206–207.
– GS: Large-cap financial leadership; continued grind up favors dips.
– CAT/CMI/TT: Cyclical bid into the bell; look for follow-through if futures stay firm.
Risk notes
– Many names showed late-day volume expansions; confirmation requires next-session liquidity. Use stops just below the identified demand zones and scale entries rather than going all-in on a single print.
