Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (window analyzed: 2026-01-08 ~11:00–14:00 EST; plus a single 2026-01-07 print for NCI)
Note: You provided intraday 30‑minute bars rather than a 30‑day history. The commentary emphasizes the last hours’ momentum and recent structure; higher‑timeframe zones are inferred from obvious pivots and round numbers.
- Materials/Metals
- Copper miners led: SCCO pushed from ~156.8 to a 159.4 HOD before a tight hold near 158s — constructive for continuation. Precious metals mixed: GLD faded mid‑day; FNV held firm around 222s (relative strength vs GLD). RS (metals distributor) was range‑bound near 308s.
- Industrial gases: LIN broke out hard late session (441s new intraday highs) on rising volume — standout strength.
- Energy
- Refining strong: PSX stair‑stepped from 139s to 143s on expanding volume; very clean momentum structure.
- Industrials/Defense/Capex
- Mixed: URI/HRI mostly stable ranges; TYL faded late; TDY flat; KTOS sold in a steady intraday downtrend (risk‑off in some defense contractors). CLH ticked up and held 248s (quiet strength). POOL steady grind higher.
- Transportation
- ODFL/JBHT largely two‑way chop; no decisive momentum edge into the close.
- Tech/Infra
- FFIV flat‑to‑heavy; TYL faded; ICLR sold hard mid‑day and only partially recovered — caution in this pocket.
- Consumer
- Mixed but selective strength: RH advanced to 222 and held 220s; DDS strong; COST bled lower most of the window; restaurants EAT/DRI had modest intraday upticks but not breakouts. UA continued a slow bid into 5.77.
- Spec/Small caps (higher risk)
- Lidar/Space: OUST surged to 27.58 then held ~27; LUNR consolidated near 19.8 with heavy turnover — both have momentum setups if the tape stays risk‑on.
- Microcap momentum: FNKO ripped 3.60→3.91 on heavy volume (clean trend). SHMD broke to 8.58 then held 8.5s; YYAI pushed 1.26→1.36 on strong volume.
- China ADR education: DAO trended 11.88→12.33 with steady demand — watch for follow‑through but headline‑sensitive.
- Healthcare/Bio
- Mixed/weak: ICLR heavy; RGTX trended down; AVIR/ACXP flat; TOI pinned.
- Financials
- AXP faded during the window; CPAY (payments) continued an orderly grind to new highs near 331.8 — leadership quality.
Notable cross‑sector pattern: rotation into cyclicals/energy/materials (PSX, LIN, SCCO) and selective consumer/retail (RH, DDS) while some defensives and mega retail (COST) lagged. Spec money is probing high‑beta names (OUST, LUNR, FNKO, SHMD).
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation candidates (strongest signals first): LIN, PSX, SCCO, CPAY, RH, OUST. Secondary momentum longs (higher risk): FNKO, SHMD, DAO, UA, LUNR.
– Strong bullish signals: LIN (fresh breakout + volume), PSX (trend day higher), SCCO (higher highs + tight hold), CPAY (grind at highs), RH (higher lows, reclaim of 220), OUST (impulsive push, held majority of gains).
Individual Stock Analysis (long setups likely over next 1–3 days)
Levels use intraday pivots/psychological prices; swing targets include nearby resistance plus a “stretch” if price covers roughly a typical 1‑day range.
1) LIN (Linde)
– Support: 441.05–441.10 (breakout retest), 438.80–439.00 (prior range top), 436.30 (session low/volume shelf)
– Resistance: 442.00, 444.00, 447.00 (projected stretch)
– 30‑min outlook (2–3 days): Expect a shallow pullback toward 441 retest. Hold above 441 → push through 442. A firm build above 442 opens a 444 magnet; if momentum persists, 446–447 is a plausible 1‑day stretch.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 441.10–441.40
– Secondary add 439.20–439.60 if deeper dip with buyers absorbing
– Momentum add on clean 442.10+ break/hold
– Stops: Initial 438.50 (below prior high); swing 436.00 (below day shelf)
– Targets: 442.50, 444.00, 446–447
2) PSX (Phillips 66)
– Support: 142.00, 141.20–141.30, 140.70
– Resistance: 143.25 (intraday high), 144.00–144.20, 145.50
– 30‑min outlook: Favor buy‑the‑dip toward 142 with a reclaim and drive through 143.25. Above 143.3 → 144–144.2. With follow‑through, 145.5 is a reasonable 1‑day range extension.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 142.00–142.20
– Breakout add 143.30+ on volume
– Stops: 140.90; deeper swing 140.40
– Targets: 144.00, 144.80, 145.50
3) SCCO (Southern Copper)
– Support: 158.00, 157.65–157.70, 156.75–156.80
– Resistance: 158.80–159.00, 159.40 (HOD), 160.50
– 30‑min outlook: Healthy consolidation above 158 should fuel a retest of 159–159.4. A firm breakthrough targets 160.5; if copper bid persists, a 162 handle is possible within 1–3 days.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 158.00–158.20
– Add near 157.70 if defended
– Breakout add 159.00–159.10 with expanding volume
– Stops: 156.90 initial; swing 156.30
– Targets: 159.40, 160.50, 161.80–162.00
4) CPAY (Corpay)
– Support: 331.00 (breakout shelf), 330.30, 328.95
– Resistance: 332.00, 333.50, 335.50
– 30‑min outlook: Trend remains orderly. Holding above 331 keeps the staircase higher; 332 break likely tags 333.5. Stretch toward 335–336 over 1–3 days if trend persists.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 331.00–331.20
– Add 330.30 on controlled dip
– Breakout add 332.10+
– Stops: 328.40–328.80
– Targets: 333.50, 334.80, 335.50–336.00
5) RH (RH)
– Support: 220.00, 219.33, 217.20–217.30
– Resistance: 221.00, 222.00, 224.00
– 30‑min outlook: Expect a test of 220–219.5 demand; if buyers hold, look for a push through 221 and a retest of 222. Sustained trade above 222 opens 223.5–224 over 1–3 days.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 219.60–220.10
– Breakout add on 221.10–221.30 with rising 30‑min volume
– Stops: 217.80 initial; swing 216.90
– Targets: 221.80, 222.70, 223.80–224.20
6) OUST (Ouster) — higher volatility
– Support: 27.00, 26.67, 26.50–26.59
– Resistance: 27.39, 27.58, 28.00
– 30‑min outlook: Impulse leg to 27.58 followed by higher‑level hold suggests a flag. A clean move over 27.39–27.58 should attempt 28+. Failure to hold 27 risks a deeper back‑fill to 26.6.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 26.95–27.05
– Add 26.65–26.75 if defended and volume dries up on the dip
– Breakout add 27.60+ on expansion
– Stops: 26.29 (below flag base)
– Targets: 27.58, 28.00, 28.60–29.00
7) FNKO (Funko) — speculative, thinner depth intraday
– Support: 3.86–3.87, 3.80, 3.60
– Resistance: 3.915 (session top), 4.00, 4.20
– 30‑min outlook: Strong trend day with volume. Holding above 3.80–3.86 favors a quick retest of 3.92–4.00. Over 4.00, momentum can extend to 4.15–4.20 within 1–3 days if risk appetite stays hot.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 3.82–3.86
– Breakout add 3.92–3.95 with tape speed
– Stops: 3.69–3.72
– Targets: 3.98–4.00, 4.12, 4.20
Secondary watchlist (constructive but not detailed here): SHMD (8.5 hold after breakout), DAO (trend up), UA (slow accumulation), LUNR (volume consolidation under 20).
Risk management and notes
– The setups above rely on today’s 30‑min structure and recent momentum. Without full 30‑day data, treat higher targets as provisional and re‑anchor to the actual daily ATR and prior swing highs on your platform before execution.
– For small caps (OUST, FNKO, SHMD), size down; slippage/halts are real. Use hard stops and avoid chasing far above listed breakout triggers unless volume and tape justify it.
– If the market shifts risk‑off (watch leaders like LIN/PSX/SCCO), expect faster fade‑through of S1 levels; in that case, wait for fresh bases to form before re‑engaging.
