Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Analysis window (EST): Primarily 2026-01-08 from 12:00–15:00 on 30-minute bars (with a few sparse prints on 2026-01-06/01-07 for RAASY/NCI). Note: 30-day and 10-day daily aggregates were not included, so the emphasis below relies on intraday trend, relative strength across your list, and likely carry-through over the next 1–3 sessions.
- Industrials/Capex and Transportation: Leadership stood out. URI and HRI (rental) trended up into the close; ODFL (LTL) advanced steadily; ICLR (CRO—healthcare services but trades with quality execution names) pushed higher; LIN (industrial gases) broke out intraday; TDY (aerospace/defense) closed strong. JBHT was stable. Net takeaway: constructive breadth in capex, logistics, and process industries (URI, LIN, ODFL, TDY, ICLR).
- Energy Refining vs. Materials/Metals: PSX (refining) showed strong intraday expansion; materials were mixed-to-soft: SCCO and RS slipped, while FNV/GLD were flat to slightly firmer. This favors refined products/crack-spread plays over base metals in the very near term.
- Consumer Discretionary/Retail: Mixed. DDS advanced; UA showed steady accumulation; COST faded and RH rolled over late. Department stores and value apparel saw relative strength (DDS, UA), while large-format/expensive-ticket retail underperformed (COST, RH).
- Defense/Space/Lidar: TDY closed well; KTOS recovered but still softer; OUST had a high-volume spike to 28.25 then faded—momentum potential if it reclaims 28.3.
- Micro/small-cap momentum: QBTZ, SHMD, MGRX, YYAI, FNKO, LWLG showed active tape and afternoon demand pockets. Liquidity is variable; expect wider spreads and volatility.
Noticeable patterns
– Afternoon trend continuation: Many leaders (URI, LIN, ODFL, PSX, TDY, ICLR) made higher lows and pushed toward session highs into the final 90 minutes—a favorable setup for 1–3 day follow-through.
– Rotation into capex/industrial process and refiners; base metals lag (URI, LIN, PSX strong vs. SCCO, RS weak).
– Risk-on in select microcaps (QBTZ, SHMD) with rising volume in the 13:00–14:30 window.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to continue higher:
– URI, LIN, PSX, ODFL, TDY, ICLR, DDS, UA
– Momentum candidates with higher risk: OUST, QBTZ
Strongest bullish signals
– Clear higher-high/higher-low intraday structures with late-day firmness: URI, LIN, ODFL, PSX, TDY, ICLR
– High-volume momentum and reclaim attempts: OUST (if it regains 28.30), QBTZ continuation above 7.44
– Relative strength within sector cohorts: refiners over metals; industrial gases and LTL trucking leadership
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Support/resistance levels reflect visible intraday pivots and nearby round-number supply/demand zones; daily-zone precision is limited without the 30-day daily chart. ATR-based targets are approximations using typical 1–3 day moves for each category (large caps ~1–2.5%, midcaps ~2–3%, high-beta/microcaps larger).

Context and risk notes
– Without 30-day daily candles/ATR data, daily supply/demand and ATR targets above are approximations anchored to the visible intraday pivots and typical volatility for each category. Tighten/loosen stops based on your actual daily ATR(14) and position sizing.
– Microcaps (OUST, QBTZ) can gap and overshoot levels; use smaller size and respect stops.
– For large caps (URI, LIN, PSX, ODFL, TDY, ICLR), look for early-session higher-low holds above the first 30–60 minutes VWAP to confirm momentum carry-through.
If you can share the 30-day daily OHLCV for the set, I’ll refine the daily zones and ATR-based targets precisely.
