Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Datetime range (EST) analyzed: 2025-12-22 from 13:00/13:30 to 16:00 on 30-minute bars (this is the only window provided; no 30-day or 10-day daily bars were supplied, so the multi-week view below is inferred from today’s late-session relative strength/weakness within this cohort).
– Standouts by group (tickers cited):
– Insurance and brokers showed late-day accumulation and relative strength: PGR, ALL, CI, UNH, AJG, AIZ, CB held bids into the bell; ERIE steady. This cluster outperformed into the close.
– Managed care/payors were firm: UNH closed at the high; CI closed near the high; HUM steady to higher.
– Banks and diversified financials were mixed-to-positive: JPM closed strong on a heavy final 30-minute bar; PNC steady; EVR constructive; SPGI soft; MSCI faded; APO sold late.
– Defense/aerospace firm: LHX and NOC pushed higher late; LMT flat; HII gave back gains.
– Industrials/distributors/flow control: GWW and DOV bid into close; WTS slight fade; GE soft.
– Software: HUBS reclaimed 400 and closed at the high; ADBE flat.
– Biotech/SMID health: QURE printed a high-volume breakout attempt; many others (CADL, ALEC, ATRA, PRAX, RYTM) were weak.
– Renewables/solar weak: ARRY and SHLS faded.
– Metals: PPLT (platinum ETF) trended higher with steady demand.
– Intraday patterns:
– Persistent late-day buying (trend and closing strength) clustered in insurers (PGR, CI, UNH, ALL), defense (LHX, NOC), select industrials (GWW, DOV), and a handful of momentum names (HUBS, QURE, PPLT).
– Distribution in solar (ARRY, SHLS), various biotech small caps, and several staples/consumer names (YUM, MUSA).
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 trading days)
– Most likely to rise (strongest signals into the close): JPM, UNH, CI, LHX, HUBS, QURE
– Also constructive but not covered below in detail: PGR, GWW, PPLT, ALL, DOV, NOC
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing setups)
Note: With no 30-day/10-day dailies provided, support/resistance zones are anchored to today’s intraday structure (30-min) and round-number supply/demand. Targets use nearby resistance plus conservative extensions consistent with recent intraday ranges.
1) JPM
– Bias: Bullish continuation if dips are bought above 322.
– Key supports (demand): 322.27 (15:30 swing low), 322.00 (round/zone), 321.68 (session low region)
– Key resistances (supply): 323.19–323.23 (late-day high zone), 323.80, 325.00
– 30-min path/prediction (2–3 days):
– Day 1: Ideally a pullback toward 322.3–322.0 that holds, then push to 323.2–323.8.
– Day 2: Hold above 323.2 on the open → 324.5–325.0 test; failure back below 322 risks a retest of 321.7.
– 1–3 day price targets: 323.80, 324.90, 325.80
– Entry ideas: 322.30–322.00 on dips; or momentum > 323.25 after a 30-min hold.
– Stop-loss: 321.60 (tight) or 321.30 (below session demand).
2) UNH
– Bias: Bullish; strong close at HOD.
– Key supports: 325.16 (breakout base into close), 324.67 (prev swing), 324.22 (intraday floor)
– Key resistances: 325.80 (HOD), 326.50, 327.80
– 30-min path/prediction:
– Day 1: Hold above 325.1–325.2 → grind to 326.5; strong tape opens 327.5–327.8.
– Day 2: Above 326.5 early → 327.8–329.0; losing 324.7 would neutralize.
– 1–3 day price targets: 326.50, 327.80, 329.00
– Entry ideas: 325.20–325.00 pullback; or reclaim/hold above 326.00 after first hour.
– Stop-loss: 324.40 (tight) or 323.95 (beneath demand zone).
3) CI
– Bias: Bullish continuation; closing strength and higher high.
– Key supports: 275.00, 274.75, 274.13
– Key resistances: 275.74 (HOD), 276.50, 277.80
– 30-min path/prediction:
– Day 1: Early dip buy at 275.0–274.8 → retest 275.7–276.5.
– Day 2: If above 276.5, extension toward 277.8–279.0; back below 274.7 weakens.
– 1–3 day price targets: 276.50, 277.80, 279.00
– Entry ideas: 275.05–274.85 with tight risk; or breakout > 275.80 with a 30-min close above.
– Stop-loss: 274.60 (tight) or 274.10 (beneath intraday demand).
4) LHX
– Bias: Bullish; steady defense strength and late ramp.
– Key supports: 294.49, 294.17, 293.83
– Key resistances: 295.21 (HOD), 296.00, 297.50
– 30-min path/prediction:
– Day 1: Hold 294.2–294.5 on the pullback → 295.2–296.0 push.
– Day 2: Momentum through 296 → 297.5–299.0 possible; loss of 293.8 dampens.
– 1–3 day price targets: 296.00, 297.50, 299.00
– Entry ideas: 294.50–294.20 on dips; or > 295.30 after a retest/hold.
– Stop-loss: 293.70 (below demand cluster).
5) HUBS
– Bias: Bullish; reclaim of 400 with close at highs suggests continuation.
– Key supports: 398.48 (breakout pivot), 397.25, 396.99
– Key resistances: 401.16 (HOD), 404.00, 408.00
– 30-min path/prediction:
– Day 1: Early back-test of 399–398.5 that holds → 401–404. If it holds above 401 after first hour, 404–406 next.
– Day 2: Above 404 early → 408–412; losing 397 weakens.
– 1–3 day price targets: 404.00, 408.00, 412.00
– Entry ideas: 399.20–398.60 retest; or momentum > 401.20 with volume expansion.
– Stop-loss: 396.90 (beneath demand shelf).
6) QURE
– Bias: Bullish momentum candidate; notable late volume spike and breakout attempt.
– Key supports: 24.71, 24.65, 24.50
– Key resistances: 25.07 (late spike high), 25.30, 25.80
– 30-min path/prediction:
– Day 1: Pullback toward 24.70–24.65 that holds → 25.07 retest; through 25.07 opens 25.30–25.80.
– Day 2: Hold above 25.30 → 25.80–26.50 extension; losing 24.50 likely negates.
– 1–3 day price targets: 25.30, 25.80, 26.50
– Entry ideas: 24.70–24.65 buy-the-dip; or > 25.10 on a 30-min close above prior high.
– Stop-loss: 24.45 (below demand).
Risk note: Small/mid-cap biotech; size down and honor stops.
Additional quick reads (no full plan, but constructive momentum): PGR (227.36 close; R: 227.5/228.4), GWW (1034.9; R: 1035/1040), PPLT (191.7; R: 192.2/193.0), ALL (208.28; R: 208.5/209.0).
Important notes and method
– The dataset provided only contains late-session intraday bars for 2025-12-22. Without 30-day/10-day daily bars, “daily” supply/demand zones and ATR-based projections are approximated using today’s intraday structure plus round-number pivots and conservative extensions consistent with recent intraday ranges. If you can share daily OHLCV for the last 30 sessions, I’ll refine levels with proper multi-week zones and measured ATR targets.
