Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-11-13 from 07:30 to 15:00, with most tickers covering 12:30–15:00. Note: Only intraday data for this session was provided (no 30-day history); the commentary emphasizes relative strength/weakness and volume/momentum from today’s 30-minute bars.
- Healthcare: Bifurcation. Distributors/diagnostics held up or led (CAH bid up to 206.04 into the close; DGX steady grind higher), while biotech/therapeutics and medtech faded (REGN, GKOS, GMED, KRYS, UTHR mostly soft to lower). This favors defensive healthcare (distributors/labs) over higher-beta therapeutics.
- Financials/Info Services: Soft to lower drift (SPGI eased from ~505 to ~503; FDS firmed but capped sub-280.3; CME slipped late; MTD trended down). No broad momentum here.
- Energy: BOIL (nat gas leveraged) faded most of the afternoon—risk-off tone in nat gas beta.
- Industrials/Materials: LIN slid; no bid into the close.
- Tech/Data infra/REIT: COR chopped sideways; no break either direction.
- Insurance: HRTG showed relative strength with a 14:30 volume spike and push to 30.805 before a controlled close; AFG was firm mid-day then slipped back but held higher range.
- Small caps/micro caps: Mixed. PLTD showed heavy, persistent volume and a steady bid toward 6.97 resistance; SMCZ and NVD/NVDQ faded into the afternoon.
Notable intraday patterns
– Relative strength into the final hour: CAH, CORD, HRTG, PLTD.
– Persistent afternoon sell programs pressured many large caps (SPGI, REGN, LIN), while the few RS names closed near the upper third of their day’s ranges.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Likely upside continuation (bullish signals strongest to weakest): CAH, CORD, HRTG, PLTD.
– CAH: Higher lows, closed near HOD with steady accumulation and leadership vs healthcare peers.
– CORD: Strong ramp early, constructive consolidation, then reclaim into the close; volume-supported.
– HRTG: Afternoon volume spike to fresh HODs, controlled close—typical pre-breakout behavior.
– PLTD: Heavy volume, tight range just under a clear breakout pivot (6.96–6.97).
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing setups based on 30-minute chart)
CAH
– Supports: 205.76, 205.00–204.98 zone, 204.56.
– Resistances: 206.08 (HOD), 206.50, 207.80.
– Price action outlook (2–3 days): Prefer early retest of 205.70–205.00 demand, then a break >206.08. If above 206 holds, momentum targets 206.50 then 207.40–207.80 within 1–2 sessions. Failure to hold 205 likely yields a 204.6–206 range day.
– 1–3 day price targets: 206.50, 207.40–207.80, stretch 208.50 (if market risk-on).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 205.70–205.10 (scale).
– Breakout buy >206.10 on expanding volume.
– Stop-loss: 204.45 (beneath session support); tighter traders 204.95 if using a breakout-only entry.
–
CORD
– Supports: 48.23, 48.16–48.14 zone, 46.78.
– Resistances: 49.00–49.09, 49.25 (HOD), 50.00.
– Price action outlook (2–3 days): Expect a 48.2–49.0 coil and attempt through 49.25. Above 49.25 opens 49.80–50.20. Strong closes above 49.80 favor a 51.00 test within 2–3 days if volume persists.
– 1–3 day price targets: 49.25, 49.80–50.20, stretch 51.00.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 48.25–48.35 (prior base).
– Breakout buy >49.10–49.30 on strong tape.
– Stop-loss: 47.90 (below base); swing stop 46.70 (below session low).
–
HRTG
– Supports: 30.38, 30.23, 30.00.
– Resistances: 30.62 (rounding the 30.615 intraday high), 30.81 (HOD), 31.00–31.20.
– Price action outlook (2–3 days): As long as 30.35–30.40 holds, look for a re-test of 30.80–30.81 and a push to 31.00–31.20. Momentum extension toward 31.50 possible on a solid market tape.
– 1–3 day price targets: 30.80, 31.05–31.20, stretch 31.50.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 30.35–30.45 (prior demand).
– Breakout buy >30.82 with uptick in volume.
– Stop-loss: 30.18 (beneath the 30.23 pivot); conservative swing stop 29.95.
–
PLTD
– Supports: 6.91, 6.875, 6.85.
– Resistances: 6.955–6.965, 7.00, 7.20.
– Price action outlook (2–3 days): Coiling under a clean pivot. A push through 6.97 likely attracts momentum—first to 7.00–7.05, then 7.12–7.20. Sustained volume could stretch to ~7.35 within 2–3 sessions.
– 1–3 day price targets: 7.00, 7.12–7.20, stretch 7.35.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 6.90–6.92 with tight risk.
– Breakout buy >6.97 on volume confirmation.
– Stop-loss: 6.84 (below intraday shelf); wider swing stop 6.79.

Additional notes
– Healthcare therapeutics/biotech (REGN, GKOS, GMED, KRYS, UTHR) showed distribution; avoid long breakouts there until they reclaim intraday MAs and print higher lows on 30-min bars.
– Financials/info services (SPGI, FDS, CME) lacked thrust; consider only if they reclaim the afternoon sell-off levels (e.g., SPGI >505.2, FDS >280.3).
– Risk management: For 1–3 day swings, keep position sizes modest and respect stops; most setups hinge on holding today’s intraday demand zones and breaking session highs on rising volume.
Methodology/limitations
– The provided data covers a single intraday session; no 30-day or 10-day history was available. Levels and targets are derived from today’s 30-minute structure, round-number psychology, and observed relative strength/volume behavior. Targets assume typical 1–3 day momentum follow-through in a neutral-to-positive market tape.
