Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range analyzed (Eastern Time): 2025-10-27 from 13:30 to 16:00 ET, using the provided 30-minute bars. Note: You did not provide 30-day or 10-day history. Where “30 days” and “recent 10 days” are requested, I infer momentum from the latest intraday structure (5 bars) and the volume ramp into the close, and I flag levels to validate on the daily chart.
Sector/industry takeaways from the sample:
– Healthcare strength in providers/managed care; mixed-to-weak in small/mid-cap biotech:
– Strong closes with rising 30-min volume: HCA (Hospital providers), CI (Managed care), MCK (Drug distribution). These printed higher highs into the bell with conspicuous end-of-day volume.
– Mixed/weak among biotech: NUVL, VRDN, ALNY, KRYS faded late; MDGL held firm but wasn’t a clean momentum expansion; micro-cap bios split—ELDN and SHMD showed intraday pops, while ANVS, SABS, SNTI were choppy/low-liquidity.
– Large-cap tech steady with late-day bids:
– GOOG/GOOGL closed near session highs with a strong final 30-min volume surge; META was firm but couldn’t push/hold above 754; IT and APPF faded late; EQIX (data-center REIT) sold into the close.
– Real estate divergence:
– PLD (industrial/logistics REIT) stair-stepped higher with an end-of-day bid; EQIX (data-center REIT) saw an abrupt late-day selloff to 843.
– Financials/business services:
– SPGI constructive but tight; steady accumulation feel without a blow-off.
– Consumer discretionary:
– WGO couldn’t hold the mid-day push; sellers into the close.
Noticeable intraday patterns:
– Closing drive buying in HCA, CI, MCK, PLD, GOOG/GOOGL—classic continuation setups if the next session opens above VWAP and pulls back shallowly to prior resistance-turned-support.
– Distribution into the close in EQIX, ALNY, VRDN, NUVL—more likely to see first-lower-highs on any morning bounces.
– Micro-cap momentum (ELDN, SHMD) saw volume expansions, but liquidity/volatility risk is high; best handled as day-2 continuation/break-and-hold plays.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely upside continuations:
– HCA, PLD, GOOG (or GOOGL), MCK, CI. Speculative: ELDN.
Strongest bullish signals now:
– HCA: persistent higher highs with volume crescendo into the close.
– PLD: clean intraday uptrend, closed near highs with volume.
– GOOG/GOOGL: late push toward the session high with a material volume surge.
– MCK and CI: orderly trend up, buyers in control into the bell.
– ELDN (spec): intraday trend + rising participation; watch for day-2 continuation above 3.90/4.00.
Individual Stock Analysis and Trade Plans
(Use these as frameworks; confirm levels on your daily chart before execution.)
HCA
– Supports: 465.4–465.7 (late-day base), 463.6–464.4 (prior breakout zone), 461.2 (session base).
– Resistances: 469.2 (HOD), 472.5 (near-term extension), 475.0 (psych round).
– 30-min path view (2–3 days): Favor an early dip toward 466–464.5 and a push to reclaim 469.2; a clean hold above 469.2 opens 472.5 then 475 over 1–3 sessions.
– 1–3 day targets: 472.5, 475.0, stretch 478 (using today’s ~8.5 range as a proxy).
– Entries: 466–465.5 on a shallow pullback; or 469.3–469.6 on a break/hold above HOD with rising volume.
– Stop-loss: Conservative 463.2; aggressive 464.0 (below the breakout shelf).
–
PLD
– Supports: 126.75 (late-day higher low), 126.48 (mid-session pivot), 126.27 (session low).
– Resistances: 127.12 (HOD), 127.50, 128.00 (psych).
– 30-min path view: Expect a modest pullback to 126.7–126.5; hold and curl can drive a 127.12 break, then grind to 127.5–128 across 1–2 sessions.
– 1–3 day targets: 127.50, 128.00, stretch 128.40 (today’s ~0.85 range suggests modest steps).
– Entries: 126.70–126.55 on pullback with buyers visible; or 127.15–127.20 on break/hold above HOD.
– Stop-loss: 126.20 (beneath session low); tighter traders 126.40.
–
GOOG
– Supports: 269.32 (close/VWAP zone), 268.84 (prior shelf), 268.26 (session low).
– Resistances: 270.14–270.80 (late-day supply/HOD), 271.50, 272.00.
– 30-min path view: Early dip to 269.3–268.9, then a push through 270.2; a firm hold above 270.8 opens 271.5–272 over 1–2 sessions.
– 1–3 day targets: 270.8, 271.5, 272.5 (using today’s ~2.5 range as a guide).
– Entries: 269.30–268.95 on pullback with market breadth supportive; or 270.20–270.40 on break/hold with expanding volume.
– Stop-loss: 268.20 (below session low); tighter: 268.60.
–
MCK
– Supports: 810.6 (late pivot), 809.6 (prior breakout), 806.7 (earlier session high/now support).
– Resistances: 811.9 (HOD), 815.0, 820.0.
– 30-min path view: Look for a shallow retest of 809.5–810.5; a reclaim and push through 811.9 could open a measured leg to 815, then 818–820 in 1–3 days.
– 1–3 day targets: 815.0, 818.0, 820.0 (today’s range ~8 fits this ladder).
– Entries: 810.5–809.8 on dip buy; or 812.0–812.5 on break/hold above HOD.
– Stop-loss: 806.4 (below support cluster); tighter: 808.8.
–
CI
– Supports: 308.2–308.1 (late support), 307.8–308.0 (prior pivot), 306.75 (session low).
– Resistances: 309.71 (HOD), 310.50, 311.50.
– 30-min path view: Expect digestion near 308.8–309.2, then an attempt through 309.7; over that, 310.5 then 311.5 within 1–2 sessions if broad healthcare stays bid.
– 1–3 day targets: 310.5, 311.5, stretch 313.0.
– Entries: 308.6–308.2 on a controlled pullback; or 309.8–310.0 on a break/hold.
– Stop-loss: 306.9 (beneath session low/invalidates trend); tighter: 307.9.
–
ELDN (speculative, micro-cap)
– Supports: 3.80 (breakout retest), 3.75, 3.70.
– Resistances: 3.90 (HOD), 4.00 (psych), 4.20 (extension).
– 30-min path view: Day-2 watch—if it holds above 3.80 early and reclaims 3.90 with volume, a 4.00 break can accelerate; failure back below 3.75 risks full round-trip.
– 1–3 day targets: 3.95, 4.10, 4.20 (momentum-dependent).
– Entries: 3.80–3.82 on a clean retest and curl; or 3.91–3.95 on a break/hold above HOD with rising volume.
– Stop-loss: 3.68–3.70 (beneath the base); tighter: 3.74.
–
Additional quick notes
– SPGI: constructive but tight; a break/hold above 497.6 could open 500+; support 495.4–495.7.
– EQIX: late-day sell suggests bounces into 849–851 may get sold unless reclaimed with volume.
– META: needs a decisive reclaim and hold above 754 to reassert momentum.
– Biotech basket (NUVL, VRDN, ALNY, KRYS, RAPT, XERS): avoid longs unless they reclaim late-day breakdown levels and print higher lows on 30-min with volume.
Risk management
– Size down into earnings/news windows if any of these have imminent catalysts.
– For continuation plays, favor entries on pullbacks to prior resistance-turned-support with tight stops just below those shelves. Avoid chasing extensions without confirmation and volume expansion.
If you want, share daily timeframes or the last 30 sessions for these tickers and I’ll refine the daily supply/demand zones and ATR-based targets with greater precision.
