Continuation Breakout Thursday 4PM 10/30/2025

October 30, 2025 6 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range covered: 2025-10-29 14:30 to 2025-10-30 16:00)
Note: The data provided is intraday for Oct 30, 2025 (plus a few Oct 29 OTC prints). I’m basing conclusions on that window; if you want true 10/30-day context, send daily data. Emphasis below is on the most recent afternoon session (last 2 hours) where momentum often establishes short-term swing direction.

  • Financials (JPM, GS, AXP, COF, TRV): Broad afternoon distribution. Lower highs and steady sell pressure into the close (JPM 311.6→309.4, GS 797.5→790.1, AXP 362.2→358.9, COF 221.6→218.3 before a late uptick, TRV 273.5→270.9). Volume expanded on the sell legs (notably JPM/COF/TRV), signaling near-term risk-off in money-center, cards, and P&C.
  • Tech/Software and High Growth (SNOW, HUBS, MDB, CYBR, META, UI, MPWR): Mixed with selective software strength into the bell/AH. SNOW saw late expansion and a strong AH print to 275 after holding 270; HUBS reclaimed and closed near AH highs (~481). MDB/CYBR faded intraday; META stayed heavy; UI trended down. MPWR had an anomalous close print to 1011 after 1095 HOD—treat that as a likely bad/illiquid print rather than true price discovery.
  • Industrials (MMM, ITW, DOV, TT): Generally soft, rolling lower through the afternoon on rising volume (DOV, TT). Defensive bid absent; bounces were weak and sold.
  • Energy/Oil (RIG, PBF): Both pressured all afternoon (RIG 4.00→3.92, PBF 36.0→34.6) with accelerated volume on the selloffs—momentum still down unless crude reverses sharply.
  • REIT/Logistics (PLD): Tight, indecisive range, closing flat near 124.2; no momentum edge.
  • Biotech/SMID momentum (ACHV, VRDN, GLUE): ACHV firmed toward HOD into the close/AH (5.25). VRDN and GLUE churned and closed mid-range, no clear signal.
  • Crypto miners (HUT): Persistent sell pressure late day (51→48.8) despite broader tech stabilization—weak beta to BTC here.
  • Micro/special situations (HTCO, ASPI, LVO, DTCK, DUOT, PTRN, CAMP, KMTS): Divergent flows. HTCO posted a late-day breakout with volume (9.45→10.45 HOD, closing 10.23). ASPI had a high-volume squeeze back to 10.80 then a thin AH fade to 10.51. LVO stair-stepped higher into the close/AH (5.33→5.64). DTCK saw a hard rug pull (2.17→1.89) then weak bounce—avoid long until it reclaims 2.10 on volume.

Notable patterns in the last 2 hours:
– Broad large-cap risk-off except for select software (SNOW, HUBS) and a few micro-cap momentum names (HTCO, ASPI, LVO).
– Energy/financials show distribution—expect bounces to be sold unless catalysts hit.
– Several names printed higher volume on down legs (institutional supply), which usually caps upside for 1-3 days.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2-3 trading days)
Likely to go up (bullish bias if supports hold):
– SNOW: Late-day/AH strength, held 270 base, expanding volume.
– HUBS: Closed near AH highs; constructive reclaim after testing 474s.
– HTCO: Late breakout with follow-through buying and higher lows.
– ASPI: High-volume squeeze back to 10.80; strong tape if it holds 10.60s.
– LVO: Persistent bid and AH push toward 5.64.
– ACHV: Closed near highs with steady accumulation.

Strongest bullish signals: SNOW, HUBS, HTCO. Secondary: ASPI, LVO, ACHV.

Risk notes and execution
– Many large-cap sectors (financials, industrials, energy) showed distribution. Bias long only on names proving relative strength (SNOW, HUBS) or microcap momentum with tight risk (HTCO, ASPI, LVO, ACHV).
– Use tiered entries: 50% near support, add on breakout through resistance with volume confirmation.
– Keep stops just below the nearest well-tested support; do not average down if supports fail on volume.
– If the broader tape continues risk-off, reduce position size and require cleaner intraday higher-low structures before adding.

If you want full 10-day/30-day support/resistance mapping and ATR-based targets, share daily bars for those windows and I’ll refine the levels and probabilities.
