Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range covered)
- Data received covers: 2025-10-13 from 13:30 to 16:00 ET for most tickers, plus a few RAASY bars on 2025-10-10. No full 30-day history was provided, so the commentary emphasizes the latest session’s 30-minute action and late-day momentum footprints that often drive 1–3 day swings.
Sector/industry takeaways from the late-day tape
- Life Sciences Tools/Diagnostics (DHR, WAT, AVTR, BRKR): Mixed-to-weak with late-day fades in AVTR (-heavy sell into close), BRKR (steady bleed), DHR (faded), while WAT showed relative strength, holding higher levels and closing firm. This hints at stock-picking over sector beta in tools/diagnostics, with WAT a relative-strength standout.
- Biotech (ALNY, STOK, INSM, IMAB, ARGX, OLMA): Broad late-day weakness and supply into close across many names (ALNY, STOK, INSM, IMAB, OLMA), while ARGX was more neutral. Near-term, this group is not seeing risk inflows on the afternoon tape; bounces may be tactical only.
- Healthcare Distributors (MCK, COR): Both were heavy-to-flat into the bell (COR sold most of the afternoon; MCK churned). No clear momentum edge long here near-term.
- Materials/Energy (MLM, METC): MLM slipped into the close; METC failed a push above 54 and reversed hard late. This looks corrective near-term after prior strength.
- Aerospace/Defense (AVAV): Held up well, reclaimed intraday highs, and closed near the upper end of its afternoon range on rising volume—bullish relative strength footprint.
- Micro/small-cap momentum (SDST, TBH, MGRX, plus thin names RAYA, EUDA, LOBO): Clear risk-on behavior in the afternoon with strong pushes and volume expansions into the close, especially SDST, TBH, MGRX. This is the clearest near-term theme for 1–3 day momentum follow-through.
Noticeable patterns to note
- Late-day accumulation and range expansion in selected microcaps (SDST, TBH, MGRX) typically favors a morning push or day-2 continuation if early supports hold.
- Broad-cap healthcare tools/biotech mostly faded—favor relative-strength outliers (WAT) and avoid names closing on supply until they reclaim intraday pivots.
- Reversal risk in cyclicals (METC, MLM) suggests patience for better entries or confirmation.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to go up (highest momentum/relative strength probabilities based on late-day 30-min tape):
- SDST, TBH, MGRX: Strongest microcap momentum setups with volume confirmation into close.
- AVAV: Large-cap RS within its group, controlled dips and higher close.
- WAT: Relative-strength outperformer within Life Sciences Tools.
Strongest bullish signals
- SDST: Late-session breakout with heavy closing volume.
- TBH: Stair-step higher highs/higher lows intraday and strong 15:30 bar.
- MGRX: Afternoon breakout to 2.60 with continuation close above prior ranges.
Individual Stock Analysis (setups for names likely to rise 1–3 days)
SDST
- Supports: 5.10–5.12 (pullback zone), 5.00 (psych/round), 4.76 (session low demand).
- Resistances: 5.20–5.22 (close supply), 5.39 (HOD), 5.50–5.65 (psych/next supply band).
- 30-min price action view: Momentum breakout late with strong volume. If early holds above 5.10, expect a quick test of 5.20s → 5.39; sustained above 5.39 opens 5.50–5.65.
- 1–3 day price targets (using session range ~0.63 as guide): 5.35–5.40, 5.55–5.65, stretch 5.80.
- Entry ideas: Pullbacks to 5.10–5.12 or quick reclaim of 5.20 after a dip.
- Stop-loss: 4.86–4.90 (below key pullback/round number and undercut of demand).
TBH
- Supports: 1.18–1.19, 1.14–1.15, 1.10–1.12.
- Resistances: 1.24 (HOD), 1.30, 1.35–1.36.

- Stop-loss: 334.6 (beneath session low).
Notes and risk management
- Microcaps (SDST, TBH, MGRX) can be illiquid and prone to halts; size down and respect stops.
- Many healthcare/biotech names closed on supply; favor relative strength and clean reclaim signals before considering longs.
- Without full 30-day daily data, the above support/resistance zones are derived from the latest 30-min structure and obvious round-number supply/demand. Revalidate levels at the open with premarket prints and volume profile.
