Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-11-06 from 11:00 to 13:00. Note: Only intraday 30-min bars for this window were provided. Where “daily” levels are referenced, I’m leaning on obvious round-number supply/demand zones and today’s intraday swing points that commonly align with recent daily pivots. If you want me to anchor levels precisely to the last 30 trading days and highlight the most recent 10, send the daily bars or allow me to fetch them.
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Biotech/Pharma (ARGX, INBX, RCUS, EVAX, PYXS, TRDA): Mixed-to-positive breadth with selective strength. RCUS and INBX showed steady intraday accumulation (higher lows/higher highs), while EVAX, PYXS, TRDA had mid-day pushes that faded. ARGX stayed range-bound around 850–855. Takeaway: risk-on is selective within biotech; mid-cap names with clean intraday trends (RCUS, INBX) are leading.
– Semiconductors (MTSI): Clear leadership. Broke higher through 160 and held gains into early afternoon with expanding volume on the push, a positive tell for 1–3 day momentum continuation.
– Exchanges/Financials (CBOE) and Software (FICO): CBOE flat-to-stable in a tight range. FICO showed distribution (sharp mid-day downdraft) and only a partial rebound—net heavy tone near term.
– Industrials/A&D services (VSEC): Two-way trade inside 175–177; indecisive, not a momentum setup yet.
– Energy/Materials (AMR – Coal): Strong rebound and trend day behavior from 165s to 170s, suggesting dip-buying and potential follow-through.
– Real Estate/Investment (KW): Tight range 9.69–9.74; low-beta, not a momentum driver.
– Auto parts (GTX): Weak drift lower; no momentum edge near term.
Noticeable patterns
– Round-number holds are driving flows: 80 (INBX), 160 (MTSI), 170 (AMR), 20 (RCUS), 4 (PYXS). Names that reclaimed and held these handles intraday are showing the best continuation odds.
– Volume expansion on break attempts favored leaders (MTSI, RCUS) versus fades in weaker bios (EVAX, PYXS, TRDA).
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely up continuation:
– RCUS, MTSI, AMR, INBX
Speculative bounce candidate (needs confirmation):
– PYXS

Additional quick reads (not primary longs)
– TRDA: Failed to hold 7.00; needs a clean reclaim and hold above 7.00 to consider.
– EVAX: Pop-and-fade; below 6.30 keeps it choppy.
– ARGX: Range-bound 847–856; no edge until range breaks.
– VSEC: Choppy inside 175–177; wait for range resolution.
– FICO: Heavy tape; avoid long momentum until 1720+ reclaims and holds.
– CBOE: Stable but low momentum.
– KW: Tight, low-beta; not a 1–3 day momentum vehicle.
– GTX: Weak drift; avoid longs until 17.70+ reclaims.
Risk management notes
– Size smaller in bios (gap/catalyst risk).
– Let the round numbers guide you—continuations tend to stick when handles hold with rising volume.
– If leaders (MTSI/RCUS/AMR) lose their immediate supports listed above, stand aside; that invalidates the short-term momentum thesis.
