Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (window analyzed: 2026-01-09 15:30 to 2026-01-13 12:00 EST)
Note on data coverage: Most prints are from the 2026-01-13 morning session with a few ticks on 2026-01-09 and 2026-01-12. The “last 10 days” view is therefore approximated via the most recent sessions; levels below lean on today’s 30-minute structure and obvious daily supply/demand zones visible in the data.
- Industrials/Transportation/Infrastructure (MYRG, MTZ, XPO, JBHT, KEX, FTAI)
- Power/infrastructure (MYRG, MTZ) showed early strength and constructive consolidation. MYRG pushed to 238.36 then based ~233–235; MTZ stair-stepped higher toward 228.45. This hints at ongoing demand into utilities/grid build themes.
- Logistics/trucking mixed: XPO pushed higher early and held a tight 145–147.4 range (buyers absorbing dips), while JBHT eased lower intraday; KEX was flat to slightly heavy. The dispersion suggests stock selection matters within transports.
- Aerospace/aviation lessor (FTAI) displayed persistent bid, printing fresh highs (256.28) with orderly pullbacks—leadership behavior within industrials/aerospace.
- Technology/Semis/Cyber/EMS (PLXS, SLAB, WOLF, CYBR, NUAI, ALAR, SIFY)
- Cybersecurity (CYBR) reclaimed early weakness and rode back to session highs (~464–465), a classic buy-the-dip character in leaders.
- EMS/Hardware (PLXS) trended HOD-to-HOD intraday (161.35 → 169.67), showing accumulation.
- Semis bifurcated: WOLF remained weak with lower highs and pressure to sub-19; SLAB churned then faded, underperforming relative to PLXS/CYBR.
- Small-cap AI/IT (NUAI) held above 4.00 on strong volume—accumulation behavior; ALAR and SIFY were choppier.
- Healthcare/Biotech/MedTech (MRNA, TMDX, MEDP, ISPC, REVB, CHE, NOVT)
- Biotech (MRNA) led momentum with a high-volume expansion leg (35.7 → 38.45) and strong closes near day highs—clean risk-on tell for near-term continuation. Microcaps (REVB, ISPC) saw volatility but liquidity is selective.
- Med devices/services mixed: TMDX popped then retraced to defend 145–146; MEDP spiked to 619 then faded toward 609; CHE drifted lower.
- Energy/Materials (NINE, INSW, RS, ATLX)
- OFS (NINE) stair-stepped higher on rising volume—continuation setup. Marine energy transport (INSW) faded after the open; Materials (RS) bled lower. Lithium small-cap (ATLX) steadily advanced and closed at HOD (5.74).
- Consumer Discretionary/Marine Retail (W, BURL, ONEW, BC)
- E-comm/retail (W, BURL) were range-bound; Marine retail (ONEW) ground up intraday; Marine OEM (BC) faded from early pop.
Notable patterns and tickers:
– Momentum leadership: MRNA (biotech), FTAI (aviation/lessor), MYRG/MTZ (infra), PLXS/CYBR (tech/cyber), STEM (clean energy storage), ATLX and NINE (speculative small-caps).
– Laggards/weak: WOLF, SLAB, INSW, RS, BC.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation (ranked by conviction/liquidity):
– High-conviction/liquid: MRNA, FTAI, MYRG, PLXS, CYBR, XPO, STEM
– Speculative small-cap continuation: ATLX, NINE, NUAI
Strongest bullish signals:
– MRNA: explosive range expansion, higher highs, strong closing near highs on heavy volume.
– FTAI: fresh highs with tight consolidations—leader behavior.
– MYRG/PLXS/CYBR: constructive intraday bases near highs with dip absorption.
– STEM: multi-dollar morning expansion with shallow pullbacks.
Individual Stock Analysis (setups for the next 1–3 days)
Method note: In lieu of full 30-day ATR, targets use today’s realized range as an ATR proxy and nearby daily supply/demand. Entries are planned near 30-minute supports/VWAP zones observed in the data.
1) MRNA (Biotech momentum)
– Key supports (daily/obvious demand): 37.60 (11:30 pullback low), 37.14 (10:30 close/pivot), 36.63–36.60 (early resistance-turned-support zone)
– Key resistances (daily/obvious supply): 38.45 (HOD), 39.20–39.50 (round/extension), 40.00 (psych)
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Expect a flag/bull channel 37.6–38.5. Above 38.45 with volume should target 39.2 then 40. A healthy retest to 37.6–37.9 that holds should lead to new highs.
– 1–3 day swing targets (ATR-proxy ~2.5): T1 39.20, T2 40.00, T3 40.80.
– Entry plan: Scale near 37.70–37.90 on pullbacks; or momentum add through 38.50 with rising volume.
– Stop-loss: 36.80 (below demand band); tighter momentum stop 37.30 if entering on breakout retest.
2) FTAI (Industrial/aviation leader)
– Supports: 253.60 (11:30 demand), 252.97 (10:30 low), 248.33 (opening drive low)
– Resistances: 255.38, 256.28 (HOD), 258.50–260.00 (extension zone)
– 30-min outlook: Prefer buy-the-dip. Hold above 253.6 → grind to 255.4/256.3; breakout through 256.3 opens 258.5/260 in 1–3 days.
– 1–3 day targets (range proxy ~8): T1 256.30, T2 258.50, T3 262.00.
– Entry: 253.75–254.25 pullback toward VWAP/last base; secondary add on 256.30 break with volume.
– Stop-loss: 252.70 (below 10:30 base); swing stop 250.50 (beneath prior day’s drive low area).
3) MYRG (Power infrastructure)
– Supports: 233.60–234.33 (midday base), 232.79, 231.53
– Resistances: 236.59, 238.36 (HOD), 240.00–241.00 (round/extension)

– 1–3 day targets (range proxy ~3): T1 147.40, T2 148.00, T3 148.50.
– Entry: 146.2–146.4 pullbacks; or break >147.40 with volume.
– Stop-loss: 145.00 (below prior support).
7) STEM (Clean energy/storage)
– Supports: 19.40, 19.32, 18.47–18.50
– Resistances: 19.85–19.86, 20.01 (HOD), 20.50–21.00

– Entry: 19.35–19.50 dips toward VWAP/last base; add through 19.86–20.01 with volume.
– Stop-loss: 19.10 (below demand); swing stop 18.80 if scaling wider.
8) ATLX (Lithium, speculative)
– Supports: 5.58–5.60, 5.50, 5.495
– Resistances: 5.70–5.74 (HOD/supply), 5.90, 6.10

– Supports: 0.4689–0.4700, 0.4622, 0.4568
– Resistances: 0.4799, 0.4850, 0.5000
– 30-min outlook: Persistent higher lows; through 0.48 opens 0.49–0.50 quickly; expect volatility.
– 1–3 day targets (range proxy ~0.04): T1 0.49, T2 0.50, T3 0.53.
– Entry: 0.468–0.472 dips; or 0.480 breakout with volume.
– Stop-loss: 0.456 (below prior demand).
Secondary bullish watchlist (constructive but slightly lower conviction or mixed intraday): MTZ (above 227.9 → 229–231), NUAI (hold >4.10 → 4.25–4.35), ONEW (above 13.33 → 13.50), ALMU (hold >23.35 → 24.00). Avoid illiquid/OTC prints (RAASY, SCAG, TGE, TC, HKPD) for short-term momentum.
Risk management notes
– Liquidity and slippage: Microcaps (ATLX, NINE, NUAI) can gap and wick; size down and use hard stops.
– If market breadth weakens, prioritize leaders with persistent demand (MRNA, FTAI, CYBR) and avoid laggards (WOLF, SLAB, RS, INSW, BC).
– Reassess levels after today’s close to refine daily zones as more complete candles print.
