Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window reviewed: 2026-01-29 10:00–12:00, with PMAX including 09:30–10:00)
Note on data scope: Only intraday 30-minute slices from today were provided (not full 30-day/daily aggregates). Commentary therefore emphasizes today’s momentum structure as a proxy for recent behavior and flags where confirmation on the daily is needed.
- Industrials/Aerospace-Defense (HON, TDG, LMT, PWR)
- Bid is constructive in quality names: TDG stair-stepped higher into midday and closed its 30-min bars near highs; HON held a tight range and firmed into 226s; PWR sold off early then reclaimed and trended back to the high 484s. LMT, by contrast, was the relative laggard with a heavy morning fade and only partial reclaim into the low 630s.
- Takeaway: Rotation favors high-quality, high-margin industrials (TDG) and infrastructure (PWR). Defense is mixed (HON steady, LMT weak).
- Financials (CME, PJT, SFBS)
- CME trended cleanly higher all morning with higher lows and a steady grind toward 291.4; SFBS held a bullish drift and printed an intraday high at 82.86 with higher lows; PJT popped early near 180 then slipped to mid/upper 177s—more neutral.
- Takeaway: Exchanges (CME) and select regional banks (SFBS) show quiet accumulation; advisory/boutique IB (PJT) needs fresh flows.
- Consumer Discretionary (AZO, RCL)
- AZO showed distribution (lower highs, lower lows) and lightened volume into midday; RCL failed to hold early highs (340.5) and chopped in the 335–338 band—neutral to slightly heavy.
- Takeaway: Mixed; soft retail-hardlines (AZO) is offered, travel/leisure (RCL) is consolidating.
- Tech/Software-Analytics (FICO)
- Range expansion and leadership: FICO pushed from a morning low near 1509 to a 1585 print before a controlled pullback to 1560s. That’s momentum behavior with dip-buying interest.
- Takeaway: Strongest momentum profile in the set.
- Energy (EGY)
- Flat-to-soft intraday tape; little directional impulse. Needs a catalyst.
- Biotech/Health (DNTH, VIR)
- DNTH was volatile but range-bound by midday; VIR held a tight 7.65–7.77 box—muted risk-on appetite here today.
- Micro/low-float and thin names (PMAX, TOYO, SBIT, CONI)
- Mixed action and often thin liquidity. CONI had a strong push to 84.57 then coiled; SBIT trended up early then chopped; PMAX whipsawed; TOYO traded very thin.
- Takeaway: Trade with caution; entries/exits can slip due to liquidity.
Notable cross-sector patterns:
– Quality uptrend continuation favored in high-margin industrials (TDG) and analytics software (FICO).
– Steady accumulation in financials with low-volatility trend (CME, SFBS).
– Mean-reversion recovery behavior in PWR after early drive lower.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 trading days)
Most likely to move higher:
– FICO (strongest momentum/expanding range)
– TDG (steady higher lows; closing strength)
– CME (grinding trend with higher lows)
– SFBS (constructive drift; higher lows and an intraday high)
– PWR (reclaim after morning shakeout; buyers stepping in)
– HON (slow-bid tape; potential continuation)
Strong bullish signals:
– FICO: Morning range expansion with higher-high sequence and only shallow retrace.
– TDG: Intraday push to 1435 and firm close near highs; dips bought.
– CME: Persistent higher lows; no meaningful supply above 291 intraday.
– SFBS: Intraday breakout to 82.86 with bids defending 82.3 area.
– PWR: V-shape reclaim from 475s to 484–485 with continuation attempts.
– HON: Tight consolidation with closes near session highs suggests follow-through if market stays firm.
Individual Stock Analysis (entries, stops, targets, supports/resistances)
Note: “ATR-based” targets here use today’s intraday range as a short-term proxy given the absence of 30-day daily ATR data.
FICO
– Key support (daily-nearby zones from intraday): 1560, 1549.8, 1537.1
– Key resistance: 1572.6, 1585.0, 1600 (psychological extension)
– 30-min price action outlook (2–3 days):
– Base above 1550–1560 and retest 1573/1585. Acceptance >1585 opens 1600–1618 over 1–3 days.
– Failure back below 1549.8 invites a deeper pullback toward 1537.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 1585 (R1), 1600 (R2), 1618–1620 (stretch ≈ 0.75–1.0x today’s range)
– Potential entries:
– Pullback buy 1560–1563 with confirming higher low on 30-min
– Breakout add >1573 with volume
– Stop-loss ideas:
– Tight: below 1550
– Swing: below 1537
–
TDG

– Key resistance: 1433.8, 1435.0, 1440.0
– 30-min price action outlook:
– Coil 1427–1433, then break above 1435 triggers 1439–1445 in 1–2 sessions.
– Lose 1424 and it likely backfills to 1421–1422 before another attempt.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 1438–1440 (R1), 1445 (R2)
– Potential entries:
– Pullback buy 1427–1429 with higher-low confirmation

– Key resistance: 291.76, 292.00, 293.00
– 30-min price action outlook:
– Trend continuation favored while holding 291–290.7 zone; grind to 292.5–293 over 1–2 days.
– A dip under 290.7 likely tests 290.1; deeper only if broad market weakens.

SFBS
– Key support: 82.35, 81.76, 81.15
– Key resistance: 82.86, 83.00, 83.50
– 30-min price action outlook:
– Favor a retest of 82.35 followed by a push through 82.86; holds above there target 83.2–83.5 within 1–3 sessions.
– Loss of 81.76 likely leads to 81.15 retest before any bounce.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 83.00 (R1), 83.30–83.50 (R2; ~0.5–0.8x today’s range)
– Potential entries:

– Key resistance: 484.95, 487.92, 490.00–492.00
– 30-min price action outlook:
– After reclaim, expect a backtest 482.5–483.0, then push to 485–488; sustained strength can carry to 490–492 in 1–3 days.
– Lose 481.4 and it likely revisits 475–476 base.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 487.9 (R1), 490.0–492.0 (R2/stretch; ~0.5–1.0x today’s range)

– Key support: 225.05, 224.58, 224.11
– Key resistance: 226.49, 227.13, 228.00
– 30-min price action outlook:
– Tight, constructive range. Holding 225–225.4 favors a pop to 226.5–227.1; acceptance above there can tag 227.8–228.5 in 1–3 days.
– A break below 224.6 weakens the setup short term.
– 1–3 day swing targets: 226.5 (R1), 227.1–228.0 (R2/stretch; ~0.5–1.0x today’s range)
– Potential entries:
– Pullback buy 225.2–225.4
– Break >226.5 with volume
– Stop-loss ideas:
– Tight: below 224.9
– Swing: below 224.1
–
Secondary watchlist (needs confirmation)
– CONI: Strong morning impulse to 84.57 then coil; thin liquidity. Supports 83.25/82.96/81.68; resistances 84.57/85/86. Above 84.6 could see 85.5–86.3; below 82.9 risks a deeper retrace.
– RCL: Neutral chop after failing 340.5; needs >339–340.5 reclaim to activate 342–345; supports 335/333.4/332.1.
– CME/SFBS/PWR/HON already covered; AZO weak intraday—avoid long until >3760–3785 reclaim.
Risk management and execution notes
– Use smaller size on thin/low-volume tickers (CONI and similar); slippage risk is real.
– If the market indices reverse hard, prioritize the strongest relative strength names (FICO, TDG, CME) and cut the laggards.
– For ATR-style targets, scale partials at R1 and trail stops to breakeven to stay in trend for R2/stretch.
Final quick list of likely upside (next 2–3 days): FICO, TDG, CME, SFBS, PWR, HON.
