Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2026-01-09 15:30 to 2026-01-13 11:00. Note: The data you provided spans mainly the last 1–2 sessions with a few prior prints; where 30-day context is requested, I focus on the most recent 10 days and intraday structure visible in your data.
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
- Industrials/Aerospace/Infrastructure (FTAI, MYRG, RS, ALTG, BC): Clear leadership. FTAI and MYRG printed strong opening drive breakouts with expanding volume and higher highs within the first 90 minutes. RS continued a steady grind to new session highs. BC also pushed to fresh highs intraday. These patterns favor 1–3 day continuation when early gains hold above prior breakout pivots.
- Tech/Semiconductors/EMS (PLXS, SLAB, WOLF, NOVT): Mixed-to-strong. PLXS and SLAB showed decisive momentum breakouts with persistent higher lows across 30-min bars. WOLF had a powerful gap-and-go to 20.20 but faded into a higher-range consolidation—watch for a reclaim of 19.66+. NOVT stair-stepped higher toward 133 with constructive pullbacks.
- Cybersecurity/Software (OKTA, CYBR, ALAR): Faded strength. OKTA and CYBR both spiked off the open then retraced toward VWAP/low-90s% of range, indicating supply near morning highs. ALAR slipped from 10.19 to sub-10 before a modest bounce—weak relative strength near term.
- Biotech/MedTech/Scientific Instruments (TMDX, RVMD, MRNA, WAT): Bullish skew. TMDX staged a high-volume breakout to 151.85 and held most of the move. MRNA ripped from 34s to 37s with continued demand and tight consolidation near highs—classic momentum continuation look. RVMD gapped and digested between 118–121 (healthy pause). WAT’s intraday action was choppy with lower highs after an early push.
- Consumer Discretionary/Retail/E-comm (W, BURL, BC): Mixed-to-constructive. W popped to 118.37, then consolidated and reclaimed 117.84—constructive but not decisive. BURL had an opening push then range-bound chop. BC showed stronger follow-through than peers.
- Energy/Shipping (INSW): Early pop to 56.91 followed by pullback—more range-bound than trending.
- Small-cap momentum/speculative (NUAI, CTOR, HKPD, VTAK): NUAI is the standout with a heavy-volume surge from 3.76 to 4.24, then tight holding above 4.00—momentum continuation candidate. CTOR and HKPD moved but with thinner liquidity; VTAK flat-to-mixed.
Notable cross-sector patterns
– Breakout-and-hold theme: FTAI, MYRG, PLXS, SLAB, TMDX, MRNA—strong early thrusts with higher lows on 30-min charts, rising volume.
– Morning-fade theme in security/soft names: OKTA, CYBR—sellers active near opening spikes.
– Small-cap momentum: NUAI displays classic first-leg surge and tight flag.

Risk notes
– Several names (NUAI, CTOR, HKPD) are thin/volatile; size accordingly and honor stops.
– Many setups are early in-session breakouts; confirmation via volume on 30-min continuation bars is key.
