Continuation Breakout Thursday 1PM 10/02/2025

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis

Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-10-01 15:00 to 2025-10-02 13:00. Note: You provided intraday slices (mostly 30-minute bars) for this window, not 30 full days. Conclusions below emphasize the recent intraday price/volume structure that typically drives 1–3 day momentum swings.

• Tech/AI/Quantum stayed in control: QBTS, IONQ, RGTI printed strong relative volume with morning expansions and orderly mid-day consolidations. SOUN showed heavy volume but a mild fade—still constructive if it reclaims 18.00.
• Space/Aero/Telecom outperformed: ASTS stair-stepped higher and held near session highs—classic intraday bull flag behavior. EVTL was flat but stable.
• Crypto miners strong: CIFR marched to new session highs and held most gains; structure supports continuation if risk appetite persists.
• Health Insurers bid: UNH led with a decisive push through 351 and a controlled consolidation in the mid-353s. MOH was choppy/neutral.
• Biotech mixed but with standouts: EDIT trended up all session in a steady 30-minute grind. INDP, CABA showed pops but faded modestly; CDTX slipped from its high—more two-sided.
• Industrials/Infrastructure steady: STRL held near the upper end of its range; RCAT (drones) ran early and settled into a higher base—watch for secondary pushes.
• Consumer and Insurance brokers quiet: LULU, AJG, MKL stayed range-bound; AAPL coiled narrowly around 257—more market barometer than momentum leader today.
• High-volatility outlier: BQ exploded intraday (12→21.7) then retraced into the 17s—possible day-2 setup, but risk is elevated. Ultra-illiquid tickers (VTVT, SAIH, BFRI) printed sporadic, thin tapes—avoid for momentum swings.

Noticeable patterns

• Bull flags near HOD: ASTS, UNH, OKLO, CIFR, QBTS.
• Range contractions after expansions (setup for next leg): IONQ, RGTI.
• Fades to VWAP/round numbers holding as supports: SOUN ~17.75–18, QBTS ~28.2–28.5, CIFR ~14.1–14.2.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)

Most likely to continue higher: QBTS, ASTS, CIFR, UNH, OKLO, EDIT, RGTI, IONQ.
Strongest bullish signals now: ASTS (flag near HOD), UNH (trend + accumulation), QBTS (RVOL + tight consolidation), CIFR (higher highs + crypto beta), OKLO (tight flag at highs), EDIT (steady intraday uptrend).

Individual Stock Analysis

Note on levels/targets: Daily context wasn’t provided; support/resistance levels below blend today’s intraday pivots, obvious round numbers, and recent supply/demand zones evidenced by repeated reactions. For swing targets, I use today’s observed high-low range as a proxy for short-term ATR.

Additional quick notes

• SOUN: Needs a clean reclaim >18.00 to reassert momentum; otherwise expect 17.60–18.00 chop.
• RCAT, STRL: Constructive, but I favor clearer RVOL + structure in the names above for 1–3 day swings.
• BQ: Squeeze candidate on day-2 if it builds above 18 with tight risk, but expect extreme volatility.
• Illiquid prints (VTVT, SAIH, BFRI): Low reliability for momentum setups—avoid.

If you want deeper 30-day context (true daily support/resistance, ATR(14), and multi-week supply/demand zones), share daily OHLCV for the past month and I’ll layer those levels atop the intraday structures above.
