Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Data analyzed (EST): 2026-01-08 from 09:30 to 13:00 (30-minute bars) across all symbols provided; one additional bar for ELWS on 2026-01-07 15:30. Note: I do not have full 30-day daily candles; commentary emphasizes intraday momentum and relative strength patterns that typically precede 1–3 day swings.
Observations by sector/industry (tickers referenced):
– Industrials/Materials: Equipment rental and metals showed steady accumulation. URI (+ uptrend into midday highs), HRI (grinding higher), RS (bid all session), CLH (firm), LIN (steady), while defense/electronics lagged (KTOS sold from 109.6 to 105.1; MRCY lower; TDY flat-to-softer). Pattern: rotation toward economically sensitive rentals/metals; defense taking profits.
– Consumer (retail/apparel/wholesale): Mixed. DDS displayed leadership (closed near session highs); UA stair-stepped higher on solid volume; COST faded intraday; EAT flat-to-choppy. Pattern: selective strength in high-ADR leaders (DDS) and value/beta (UA), big-box wholesaler (COST) paused.
– Precious metals: FNV showed persistent bid, building higher lows and pushing through 222s. Pattern: dip-buys sustained above prior intraday pivots—constructive for follow-through.
– Tech/Payments/IT services: CPAY trended strongly (323.9 → 331.5), TYL advanced; FFIV range-bound; CACI mixed. Pattern: payment/process automation and gov-tech stronger than legacy networking.
– Small caps/specs: Many illiquid or choppy (EVTL, SRFM, GXAI, RGTU, ZDGE, ORKT, ELWS); spikes faded. Pattern: momentum rotations not broadly supportive of micro-cap continuations today.
Notable intraday momentum patterns:
– Higher highs/higher lows with dips bought: CPAY, NNE, DDS, FNV, URI, RS, UA.
– Trend fades/distribution: KTOS, MRCY, ICLR, RGTX, EVTL.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation candidates (highest conviction first):
– CPAY, NNE, DDS, FNV, URI, UA
Secondary watch (positive but lower conviction): RS, POOL, TYL
Strongest bullish signals today:
– CPAY: clean 30-min trend, higher highs/higher lows, closing near HOD with increasing volume into last bar.
– NNE: sustained momentum, defended pullbacks, pressing 33s with rising volume.
– DDS: tight upward drift, closed near HOD; leader behavior.
– FNV: persistent bid and closing near session highs; commodity tailwind potential.
– URI: steady accumulation toward top of range; constructive in Industrials.
– UA: orderly stair-step with heavy liquidity; constructive for a short swing.
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing setups)
Note on levels and ATR: Without full daily history, I derived near-term supply/demand from today’s 30-min extremes and whole/half numbers. “ATR” targets use today’s session range as a proxy.
1) CPAY
– Today’s proxy ATR: ~7.6 (331.46 HOD – 323.89 LOD)
– Support (demand) levels: 329.00–329.10 (VWAP-like pivot zone today), 327.30, 324.70–324.00.
– Resistance (supply) levels: 331.46 (HOD), 333.00 (psych), 335.00 (psych/extension).
– 30-min price action outlook (2–3 days):
– Base/break scenario: Hold 329–330 on any morning dip, then push 331.5 → 333. If 333 converts to support, extension toward 335–336.
– Failure case: Lose 327.3 on a closing basis, likely mean-revert toward 324–325.
– 1–3 day price targets:
– Initial: 333.0
– Stretch: 335.0–336.0 (~0.25–0.5x today’s range)
– Entry ideas: Scale near 329.2–330.0 on controlled pullbacks; or breakout add above 331.6 with volume.
– Stop-loss: Below 327.2 (firm), conservative below 324.4 if giving room.
–
2) NNE
– Today’s proxy ATR: ~2.1 (33.30 – 31.20)
– Support: 32.52, 32.30, 31.95–32.00.
– Resistance: 33.12–33.30 (intraday supply), 33.50 (psych), 34.00 (psych if momentum persists).
– 30-min outlook:
– Continuation: Hold above 32.50; reclaim 33.10 → 33.30; break opens 33.50 and possibly 34.00.
– Pullback: Lose 32.30 intraday, expect a test of 32.00 and a slower rebuild.
– 1–3 day targets:
– Initial: 33.50
– Stretch: 34.00–34.20 (~0.25–0.5x range)
– Entry: 32.55–32.65 pullback buy; or through 33.12–33.15 with expanding volume.
– Stop-loss: 31.95 (tight), 31.70 (looser swing).
–
3) DDS
– Today’s proxy ATR: ~6.7 (679.43 – 672.70)
– Support: 675.10, 674.80, 672.70.
– Resistance: 679.43 (HOD), 680.00, 682.00–683.00 (extension).
– 30-min outlook:
– Momentum grind: Dips into 675–676 get bought, push through 679.5 → tag 682.
– Risk: If 674.8 breaks on closing basis, likely fades to 672.7 and stalls.
– 1–3 day targets:
– Initial: 680.0–682.0
– Stretch: 685.0–686.5 (~0.5x range if liquidity improves)

– Stop-loss: 672.4–672.7 zone.
–
4) FNV
– Today’s proxy ATR: ~5.0 (222.82 – 217.87)

– Resistance: 222.56 (HOD), 223.00, 224.50–225.00 (extension/psych).
– 30-min outlook:
– Continuation: Maintain above 221.5 to base; push 222.6 → 223.0; if accepted, trend to 224.5–225.
– Reversion: Lose 221.1, retrace toward 220 handle; re-evaluate momentum.

– Resistance: 923.7–924.3 (HOD area), 925.0–926.0 (psych/extension), 929.0 (stretch if momentum reignites).
– 30-min outlook:
– Trend continuation: Hold 921–922; push through 924 for 925–926. If industrials bid persists, 929 becomes reachable.
– Breakdown: Lose 919.4 → test 916; below 916, momentum thesis cools.
– 1–3 day targets:
– Initial: 925–926
– Stretch: 929–930 (~0.25x range)

– Support: 5.70, 5.665, 5.65.
– Resistance: 5.76 (HOD), 5.80, 5.90 (stretch).
– 30-min outlook:
– Continuation: Respect 5.70 as higher low; break 5.76 → 5.80; acceptance above 5.80 could magnet 5.90.
– Failure: Lose 5.665 → 5.65 base; below 5.65, setup weakens.
– 1–3 day targets:
– Initial: 5.80
– Stretch: 5.88–5.90 (~0.5–1.0x range)
– Entry: 5.70–5.72 pullback; or 5.76–5.77 breakout.

Secondary watch (less detailed but constructive)
– RS: Supports 308.4, 306.97, 305.8; resistances 309.22, 310.0, 311.5. Targets 310 then 311.5. Entry 308.4–308.6; stop 306.8.
– POOL: Supports 242.35, 242.00, 241.75; resistances 243.39–244.21. Targets 243.9 then 244.8. Entry 242.2–242.4; stop 241.6.
– TYL: Supports 457.0, 455.5, 455.0; resistances 459.5, 460.7. Targets 460.0 then 461.5. Entry 457.1–457.5; stop 455.0.
Risk management and notes
– Liquidity: Favor symbols with consistent intraday volume (CPAY, URI, FNV, UA). Avoid thin tapes or wide spreads for short-dated swings unless experienced (DDS can be spready).
– Confirmation: For breakouts, seek 30-min closes through levels or a strong volume burst with minimal rejection.
– If futures or sector ETFs contradict the thesis at the open, prioritize pullback entries at supports over chasing breakouts.
Summary of predicted upside (next 2–3 days): CPAY, NNE, DDS, FNV, URI, UA (primary), with RS/POOL/TYL as secondary if momentum holds sector-wide.
