Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Datetime range (EST) analyzed: 2026-02-05 from 10:30 to 14:30 on 30-minute bars, across the symbols provided. Note: No 10–30 day history was included, so the commentary leans on today’s tape and relative momentum as a proxy for near-term swing intent.

  • Healthcare led on strength and constructive closes:
    • Hospitals/managed care: HCA ground higher into the afternoon and closed near highs; MOH reclaimed dips and held higher lows.
    • Large-cap pharma/biotech: GILD held firm with higher highs intraday; JNJ was mixed but stabilized late.
  • Industrials were mixed:
    • Strength/accumulation: CONI broke out and held near highs; RRX curled off lows with higher highs; SKM (Telecom) trended up on steady demand.
    • Sideways/soft: WTS ranged; WWD faded; LFUS drifted lower; WCC couldn’t reclaim early weakness.
  • Tech/growth pockets diverged:
    • Risk-on: QBTZ stair-stepped higher all session with higher highs/higher lows and firm closes.
    • Weak tape: TECX saw a hard sell with expanding range; DOCN faded with lower highs.
  • Small/micro caps: ZKIN and CLPS ticked up but remain illiquid; PKST was tightly pinned and directionless; CASH (financial) was soft-to-flat.

Noticeable intraday patterns
– Bullish momentum and closing strength: QBTZ, HCA, CONI, SKM, MOH, RRX.
– Distribution/weakness: TECX, DOCN, WWD, LFUS, WCC.
– Tight equilibrium: PKST.
– Illiquid outliers: ZKIN, CLPS (not reliable for 1–3 day swing without a catalyst).

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Most likely to continue up:
– QBTZ — clean series of higher highs/higher lows, persistent bid into the close.
– HCA — strong grind higher, closing near session highs indicates follow-through potential.
– CONI — impulsive breakout with shallow pullbacks, suggests another leg if it holds above mid-133s.
– SKM — steady uptrend with repeated pushes to fresh intraday highs; demand visible above 30.
– MOH — higher low and reclaim, buyers defending dips around 177–178.
– RRX — higher lows through the afternoon; if 201 holds, path of least resistance is up.
– Strongest bullish signals today: QBTZ (trend and closes), HCA (accumulation/close), CONI (range expansion).

Individual Stock Analysis
Note: With only intraday data provided today, the “daily” support/resistance levels below emphasize nearby supply/demand derived from today’s levels and common inflection areas (round numbers). Confirm on your daily chart before acting.

1) QBTZ
finviz dynamic chart for  QBTZ
– Supports: 16.20–16.24; 16.00; 15.75–15.80
– Resistances: 16.50 (intraday high zone); 16.75; 17.00
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Expect a brief dip/retest into 16.20–16.30 early; if defended, a push through 16.50 opens 16.70–16.80. Holding above 16.20 into the close sets up a Day-2 attempt at 17.00+. Lose 16.00 and momentum likely cools toward 15.75.
– 1–3 day price targets: 16.70 (T1), 17.00 (T2), 17.40 (T3 stretch)
– Entry ideas: Pullback buy 16.20–16.30, or momentum add on breakout >16.52 with volume.
– Stop-loss: 15.95 (tighter), or 15.72 (beneath support cluster) depending on risk.

2) HCA
finviz dynamic chart for  HCA
– Supports: 512.0–512.3; 510.9; 509.6
– Resistances: 514.1; 516.0–516.5; 520.0
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Look for an early check-back to ~512; sustained bids there favor a continuation to 515–516. Above 516, 518–520 comes into play within 1–2 sessions. A decisive break back below 510.9 would weaken the setup.
– 1–3 day price targets: 515.5 (T1), 518.5 (T2), 522 (T3 stretch)
– Entry ideas: Scale in 512.2–512.8 on a controlled dip; add on reclaim >514.2.
– Stop-loss: 509.8 (below the afternoon higher low).

3) CONI
finviz dynamic chart for  CONI
– Supports: 133.5; 132.0; 130.5
– Resistances: 135.3–135.4; 136.5; 138.0
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Expect consolidation between 133.5–135.0. A push/hold above 135.4 likely targets 136.9 then 138.0. Failure to hold 133.5 risks a deeper backfill toward 132.
– 1–3 day price targets: 135.8 (T1), 136.9 (T2), 138.2 (T3 stretch)
– Entry ideas: Buy 133.7–134.2 with strength returning; breakout add above 135.5.
– Stop-loss: 131.9 (beneath support and breakout base).

4) SKM
finviz dynamic chart for  SKM
– Supports: 29.90–30.00; 29.70; 29.40
– Resistances: 30.26; 30.50; 31.00
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Momentum favors shallow dips that get bought near 30. A clean break/hold above 30.26 targets 30.35–30.75 first, then 31.00 if buyers persist.
– 1–3 day price targets: 30.35 (T1), 30.75 (T2), 31.10 (T3 stretch)
– Entry ideas: Pullback buy 29.95–30.05; momentum add above 30.28 with volume confirmation.
– Stop-loss: 29.65 (below the last intraday higher low area).

5) MOH
finviz dynamic chart for  MOH
– Supports: 177.6; 176.7–176.95; 176.0
– Resistances: 178.95; 180.0; 181.5
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): As long as 177.6–178 holds, expect a push at 178.95 and a magnet to 180. Holding 180 on a closing basis could propel 181–182 next.
– 1–3 day price targets: 179.6 (T1), 180.6 (T2), 181.8 (T3 stretch)
– Entry ideas: 177.8–178.1 on a controlled dip; add on break >179.0 toward 179.6–180.
– Stop-loss: 176.6 (beneath defended demand).

6) RRX
finviz dynamic chart for  RRX
– Supports: 200.9–201.0; 200.05; 199.50
– Resistances: 203.8; 205.0; 206.5
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): If 201 holds on pullbacks, look for a grind to 202.8–203.8. A strong push through 203.8 opens 205+, while loss of 200.9 risks a revisit of 200–199.5.
– 1–3 day price targets: 202.8 (T1), 204.5 (T2), 206.0 (T3 stretch)
– Entry ideas: 201.0–201.4 pullback buy; add on breakout >203.9 with volume.
– Stop-loss: 199.8 (below support cluster).

Notes on names not favored long near-term
– TECX: Sharp sell with expanding range; any long would need a base >23.0 first. Watch for lower-high rejection near 22.90–23.30.
– DOCN: Weak intraday structure; needs to reclaim 58.60–59.00 to negate downside pressure.
– WWD, LFUS, WCC: Lower highs/lower lows intraday; treat bounces as suspect until key lower highs are reclaimed.
– PKST: Very tight range; wait for a decisive break >20.80 or <20.70 with volume.
– ZKIN, CLPS: Illiquid; momentum swings may not be reliable without catalysts.
– JNJ, GILD: Neutral-to-mildly constructive; bias turns bullish on confirmations (JNJ >238.50, GILD >150.20).

Risk management reminders
– Size down if entries occur far from the nearest support.
– Use intraday structure to trail stops once T1 is reached.
– If a breakout quickly fails back into the prior range, exit and reassess rather than averaging down.

If you want a true 10–30 day sector and ATR-backed analysis with daily supply/demand, share the last 30 daily candles and I’ll refine levels and targets accordingly.
