December 4, 2025 4 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range covered: 2025-12-04, 09:30–12:00)
Note: You provided intraday 30-minute bars for this morning. I emphasize the last 10 days conceptually via today’s range expansion and relative volume behavior; exact 30-day daily pivots are approximated with visible intraday supply/demand and obvious round-number levels.

  • Industrials/infrastructure leading: Strong, broad bid across contractors/electrification and heavy equipment. Standouts: POWL, STRL, EME, IESC, DY, MYRG. Multiple names printing higher highs before midday with tight pullbacks—classic continuation posture for 1–3 day swings.
  • Defense/aerospace firm: AVAV outperformed with persistent push toward HOD. HII and ESLT constructive.
  • Semis/photonics constructive: SMTC and AEIS trend higher with expanding ranges. COHR and LASR showed early strength; COHR pulled back but held higher lows intraday.
  • Energy and storage: FLNC (energy storage) delivered a high-volume range expansion and held most gains. FANG steady; CEG (utilities) strong grind up.
  • Materials bid: SCCO, RGLD, HYMC all green—metals theme supportive for short-term momentum.
  • Biotech/healthcare pop-and-hold: NRIX, KOD, SLDB, ACRS, RXST showed clean push-and-base action. NUTX is volatile but bid.
  • Tech/software mixed: FSLY lagged; WKEY and BKSY saw momentum flows; JBL and SANM steady in EMS/ODM lane.
  • Small/micro-caps: Select pockets of momentum (PLBY, FEMY) but liquidity varies; better risk control needed.

Notable patterns:
– Range expansion + holding above morning VWAP and prior 30-min highs (POWL, FLNC, AVAV, STRL).
– Pullback-to-support behavior with higher lows (SMTC, RXST, VOYG).
– Early spike then tight mid-day flags near HOD (BKSY, KOD).

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely upside continuation: POWL, FLNC, AVAV, STRL, SMTC, NRIX, KOD, BKSY, VOYG, RXST
Strongest bullish signals (volume + structure): POWL, FLNC, AVAV, STRL

Additional bullish watchlist (sector confirmation/rotational tailwinds): EME, IESC, DY, HII, AEIS, LASR, CEG, SCCO, RGLD. If these continue to firm, they reinforce the broader industrials/materials/energy momentum backdrop that benefits the primary picks above.

Risk notes
– Liquidity varies across names; size positions accordingly.
– ATR-based targets here are approximated via today’s range and nearby supply. Reassess with each close and the next day’s opening range.
– If leaders (POWL/EME/STRL cohort and AVAV/ESLT/HII) reverse collectively, tighten stops across the basket.
