December 16, 2025 5 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed: 2025-12-15 15:00 to 2025-12-16 11:00)
– Note: Only intraday snapshots (today plus a few prior close prints) were provided; no full 30-day history. The 10-day emphasis below is inferred from today’s 30-min action, relative volume, and how names behaved at key levels.
– Tech/Software: MDB showed a clean opening drive and held gains near highs with persistent bid into mid-morning — classic momentum retention. EB printed heavy opening volume but stayed pinned in a 4.44–4.46 band (no momentum follow-through).
– Industrials/Materials: CRS showed strong dip-buys and a higher-low sequence (319.5 → 320.5 → 324.7) with buyers reclaiming and holding near highs. HRI stair-stepped up with expanding range into 10:30–11:00.
– Healthcare/Biotech: Mixed. TOI and JBIO trended steadily higher on rising volume and higher lows; SANA and SRPT popped early and faded (supply capping pushes); PRAX pushed early then bled lower into a tight mid-day coil.
– REITs/Infrastructure: COLD and UNIT showed steady, low-beta accumulation patterns — higher lows, modest ranges, constructive volume.
– Consumer: DLTR steadily ground higher; LVWR stayed heavy relative to prior afternoon and never reclaimed its opening drop.
– High-beta mid-cap: PLTU spiked hard off the open, pulled back, then re-based around 81 — constructive for a second push if 82 reclaims.

Patterns/trends worth noting
– Momentum holds: MDB, CRS, HRI, JBIO, TOI held opening strength and consolidated near highs — a bullish tell for 1–3 day continuation.
– Failed pops/fades: SANA, SRPT, PRAX showed supply on rips — more likely to chop or mean-revert than trend unless they reclaim morning highs.
– Accumulation drift: COLD, DLTR, UNIT are trending gently upward with contained pullbacks — supportive for measured continuation moves.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Most likely to continue up: MDB, CRS, PLTU, JBIO, TOI, HRI
– Secondary (constructive but slower): COLD, DLTR, KDK
– Strongest bullish signals: MDB (trend hold near HOD), CRS (bought dips and HOD hold), TOI/JBIO (steady higher-lows + volume), HRI (range expansion up), PLTU (power move + higher base).

Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing plan)
Note: ATRs below are approximations from today’s RTH range to frame 1–3 day targets.

1) MDB
– Support: 421.2, 420.1, 418.0
– Resistance: 425.5 (HOD), 430.0, 435.0
– Approx ATR (RTH): ~17.5
– 30-min read and next 2–3 days: Holding near HOD suggests a morning flag → HOD retest; above 425.5 opens a measured squeeze into 430–435 over 1–2 days if market risk-on persists.
– Entry ideas: 421.5–422.5 retest hold; or 425.6–426 breakout-and-hold.
– Stops: 418.5 (beneath 420 shelf) or tighter 419.8 if breakout entry.
– Targets (1–3 days): 427.5, 430.0, stretch 435.0.

2) CRS
– Support: 321.1, 320.5, 319.5
– Resistance: 325.0, 326.3 (HOD), 329.5–330.0
– Approx ATR: ~8.9
– 30-min read and next 2–3 days: Bought dips and HOD hold; look for a small pullback base then 326.3 breakout. If market cooperates, continuation toward 329.5–330 in 1–2 sessions.
– Entry ideas: 321–322 pullback into support; or 324.7–325.0 reclaim and hold.
– Stops: 319.5 (beneath the morning higher-low), conservative 318.8.
– Targets: 326.3, 329.5, stretch 334.0 (≈1 ATR above HOD).

3) PLTU
– Support: 81.0, 79.75, 78.75
– Resistance: 82.0, 83.25 (HOD), 85.0
– Approx ATR: ~5.2
– 30-min read and next 2–3 days: Strong opening impulse, then higher base around 81. Over 82 with volume should retest 83.25; acceptance there sets up 85 in 1–3 days.
– Entry ideas: 81.0–81.3 base hold; or 82.1 breakout and hold.
– Stops: 79.7 (below VWAP/first pullback); tighter swing stop 80.4 if using a breakout add.
– Targets: 82.8, 83.3, stretch 85.0.

4) JBIO
– Support: 16.00, 15.78, 15.50
– Resistance: 16.20 (HOD), 16.50, 16.90–17.00
– Approx ATR: ~1.2
– 30-min read and next 2–3 days: Trend day characteristics with higher lows; a 16.00 retest that holds favors a push through 16.20 and a grind toward 16.50–16.90 within 1–2 days.
– Entry ideas: 15.95–16.05 retest and hold; or 16.22 breakout-and-hold continuation.
– Stops: 15.50 (beneath mid-morning base) or tighter 15.68 if using a breakout.
– Targets: 16.20, 16.50, stretch 16.90–17.00.

5) TOI
– Support: 3.83, 3.79, 3.75
– Resistance: 3.86 (HOD), 3.90, 4.00
– Approx ATR: ~0.11
– 30-min read and next 2–3 days: Persistent higher-lows and tight ranges; above 3.86 sets a controlled walk-up toward 3.90–4.00. Expect flags rather than big candles.
– Entry ideas: 3.80–3.83 pullback buy; or 3.87 breakout and hold.
– Stops: 3.74–3.75 (beneath morning demand).
– Targets: 3.90, 3.98–4.00, stretch 4.10 (if momentum accelerates).

– Approx ATR: ~5.2
– 30-min read and next 2–3 days: Sturdy staircase higher with range expansion into late morning. Over 157.7/158.6 opens 160–161.5 within 1–3 days.
– Entry ideas: 156.1–156.4 pullback; or 158.0–158.2 breakout and hold.

Names I would avoid for long momentum until conditions change
– SANA, SRPT, PRAX: Early pop then fade; need to reclaim morning highs on rising volume to flip constructive.
– EB, LVWR, BAP, MSBI, UNIT: Either range-bound or low ATR/indecisive — better as tactical scalps or only on confirmed breakouts with volume.

Risk notes
– With only today’s intraday data available, use your higher-timeframe daily/weekly charts to validate the levels and refine ATRs. Priority in this tape goes to names that held near highs with rising 30-min demand and clear over/under lines (as listed above).
