Continuation Breakout Thursday 2PM 12/04/2025

December 4, 2025 5 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (2025-11-05 to 2025-12-04 14:00 EST, 30 trading days; emphasis on the most recent 10 days):
– Industrials/infrastructure stayed leadership. EPC/contractors and electrification names kept bid with higher lows and persistent accumulation: PWR, EME, FIX, IESC, STRL, MYRG, HUBB, PH all showed steady strength or strong dips bought. In the last 10 days, pullbacks were shallow and volume supported breakouts into new highs/higher ranges (ex: EME grinding to 634.69 HOD; PWR pressing 466; FIX holding near 1,000).
– Semis mixed-to-rangebound. Large-cap AI-adjacent semi names (MRVL, COHR) chopped or faded intraday while equipment (TER, FN) held better. This points to rotational digestion rather than broad risk-off in chips.
– Gold/silver miners stabilized with light upside bias. Senior/royalty names (AEM, RGLD) were steady; juniors (IAUX, GROY) and SA saw constructive intraday pushes. NUGT remained rangebound. The tape suggests dips are being bought but not a runaway trend.
– Copper and base metals ticked up: SCCO was stable, TGB firmed intraday, and TMQ accelerated into higher highs; this aligns with a soft upcycle in industrial metals over the last 10 sessions.
– Biotech/healthcare had selective momentum. RGTX staged a high-volume 30-min breakout from 91s to 96; OSCR faded late after a mid-day pop; GH and AXGN consolidated lower. Expect pocketed strength rather than a sector-wide impulse.
– Energy/aircraft/alt infra: FLNC (storage) and APLD (data center infra) showed accumulation and higher highs on strong intraday volume. FTAI and AVAV were firm but faded late; trend still constructive.
– Consumer/discretionary mixed. OPEN broke out on strong volume; LULU/DELL/APP/VRT largely consolidated recent runs.

Noticeable patterns to watch:
– Trend continuation in infrastructure/EPC (PWR, EME, FIX).
– Accumulation-and-go in storage/data center infra (FLNC, APLD).
– Copper continuation potential (TMQ, TGB).
– Biotech breakouts require quick hands; RGTX stands out among the group.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days):
Likely upward continuation candidates:
– OPEN, FLNC, APLD, PWR, EME, RGTX, TMQ
Strongest bullish signals: OPEN (volume-backed breakout), FLNC (accumulation through 23.40), APLD (trend-within-range with rising volume), RGTX (biotech momentum breakout), PWR/EME (institutional bid in EPC complex), TMQ (copper momentum).

Individual Stock Analysis (next 1–3 days)
Note: Levels focus on recent daily supply/demand zones and today’s intraday pivots. ATR-based targets are approximations from recent ranges.

1) OPEN
– Setup: Breakout on heavy volume with a strong 13:30 push to 7.51 followed by orderly pullback; momentum intact if 7.16 holds.
– Key support: 7.16, 7.00, 6.80
– Key resistance: 7.50, 7.70, 8.00
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Above 7.16, expect a retest of 7.50; a clean push/hold over 7.50 can magnet 7.70 then 7.90–8.00. Lose 7.00 and momentum stalls to 6.80 demand.
– Price targets (ATR ~0.45): PT1 = 7.70; PT2 = 7.95–8.00
– Entry idea: 7.20–7.28 pullback buy or 7.52 breakout-and-hold
– Stop: 6.97 (below round-number support) or tighter 7.08 if breakout entry

2) FLNC
– Setup: Higher lows and persistent bid; pushed 23.46 with strong volume; constructive energy storage tape.
– Key support: 23.15, 23.00, 22.60
– Key resistance: 23.40, 23.60, 24.00
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Hold over 23.15 keeps the squeeze path toward 23.60/24.00. If it fails 23.00, look for 22.60 buyers before another attempt higher.
– Price targets (ATR ~0.80): PT1 = 23.60; PT2 = 24.10–24.30
– Entry idea: 23.15–23.25 pullback; add on reclaim of 23.40 with volume
– Stop: 22.88 (below round-number pivot)

3) APLD
– Setup: Trend up with rising intraday volume; multiple pushes to 31.60–31.66 and higher lows; data center infra bid remains strong.
– Key support: 31.20, 30.90, 30.40
– Key resistance: 31.65, 31.90, 32.50
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Above 31.20, expect base-building then breakout tries over 31.65/31.90 toward 32.30–32.50. Lose 30.90 and it likely backfills 30.40 before another attempt.
– Price targets (ATR ~1.10): PT1 = 31.95–32.10; PT2 = 32.50–32.80
– Entry idea: 31.20–31.30 first buy zone; momentum add on 31.92–31.95 hold
– Stop: 30.78 (below base and day’s higher low cluster)

4) PWR
– Setup: EPC leader pressing highs; steady grind and closes near top of range; strong sector flow.
– Key support: 464.5, 463.2, 460.0
– Key resistance: 467.1, 469.5–470.0, 473.0
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Holding above 464.5 favors continuation to 467+ then 470. Fades likely get bought near 463–460. Watch volume on 470 break.
– Price targets (ATR ~6.5): PT1 = 468.5–470.0; PT2 = 472.5–474.0
– Entry idea: 464.7–465.2 pullback; add over 467.2 on strength
– Stop: 462.8 (beneath intraday demand)

5) EME
– Setup: Persistent uptrend within Industrials; printed new HOD 634.69 with dip buys intact.
– Key support: 632.0, 629.5, 625.0
– Key resistance: 634.7, 637.5, 642.0
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Above 632, expect a re-test 634.7 then 637+. Failure back to 629.5 likely finds buyers if sector stays firm.
– Price targets (ATR ~9): PT1 = 637.5–639.0; PT2 = 641.5–643.5
– Entry idea: 632.2–632.8 pullback with tight risk; add over 635 hold
– Stop: 629.2

6) RGTX
– Setup: High-volume biotech breakout from low 90s to 96; momentum name with potential continuation squeeze.
– Key support: 93.5, 91.8, 90.0
– Key resistance: 96.2, 98.0, 100.0
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Over 93.5 and especially 95.8–96.2, momentum can push 98 then a psychological 100 test. Failure under 91.8 risks a two-day cool-off toward 90.
– Price targets (ATR ~4.5): PT1 = 98.0; PT2 = 100.0–101.0
– Entry idea: 93.8–94.4 pullback; or 96.20 breakout-and-hold
– Stop: 91.4 (below breakout base)

7) TMQ
– Setup: Copper play with stair-step higher highs to 4.71; volume expanded on the push—classic momentum continuation potential if metals stay firm.
– Key support: 4.63, 4.60, 4.50
– Key resistance: 4.70, 4.80, 5.00
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Hold 4.60–4.63 and expect re-tests of 4.70/4.80; a catalyst or copper strength could propel a 5.00 tag. Lose 4.60 and it likely backfills to 4.50 support.
– Price targets (ATR ~0.22): PT1 = 4.80; PT2 = 4.95–5.00
– Entry idea: 4.62–4.66 pullback; add on 4.71–4.73 push/hold
– Stop: 4.56

Quick risk notes:
– Liquidity varies widely across this list; use limit orders on thinner names.
– Respect stops; momentum reversals are fast in 1–3 day swings.
– If broader market/sector diverges (e.g., chips risk-off, metals pullback), scale risk accordingly.

If you want, I can add a short-list of “avoid/neutral” tickers showing distribution or illiquidity today (e.g., BOXL, COHR weakness; illiquid microcaps like TRVG, ADSE) and map potential short-side levels separately.
