Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-11-04 from 10:00 to 12:00 on 30-minute intervals. Note: Only intraday data for this window was provided. Where “daily” levels are cited, they’re derived from today’s developing range and round-number supply/demand zones; please validate against your daily chart.
- Technology/Semis/AI: Broad intraday risk-off with lower highs and weak closes across AMD, MU, KLAC, ARM, COHR, TER, FN, SNOW, SHOP, CRWD, ADBE, GOOG/GOOGL. Momentum and volume decayed mid-morning; bounces failed near VWAP-type areas. This sector underperformed and is not offering high-probability long setups for 1–3 days unless we see decisive reclaim levels.
- Financials: Mixed-to-flat. JPM, GS, COF, CB chopped in tight ranges; no follow-through from early pushes. Defensive posture; dips are getting bought modestly but no broad momentum.
- Energy/Materials/Industrials: Relative strength pockets. VIST trended steadily upward with higher highs/lows and improving prints; POWL stabilized after early selling and is curling. AESI/ACDC/CLB mixed-to-soft. STLD range-bound. FERG/CHRW/AER mostly neutral.
- Healthcare: Distributors (MCK) firm; CAH slightly soft; HCA flat. Biotech/spec (TERN, GPCR) faded after opening strength; EVAX bucked slightly but thin. net: defensive healthcare distributors show relative resilience.
- Insurance/Defense/Services: HCI pushed to new intraday highs into midday; CACI trended cleanly up with steady higher highs and a strong close to the midday window. Both show relative strength vs the tape.
Noticeable trends/patterns
– Trend-down/weak rebounds in large-cap Tech (AMD, MU, KLAC, CRWD, SNOW, SHOP, GOOG/GOOGL, ADBE, ARM) point to near-term selling pressure; lower highs on 30-mins dominate.
– Rotation into selective Energy (VIST) and niche strength in Insurance (HCI) and Defense-IT (CACI). MCK steady bid as a defensive healthcare play.
– Momentum longs are working best where price built higher lows and held morning gains: VIST, CACI, HCI; to a lesser extent FRGE (volatile), MCK, and potentially POWL if it reclaims 390+.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to continue higher:
– VIST, CACI, HCI, FRGE, MCK, POWL
Strongest bullish signals:
– VIST: Persistent higher highs/lows across all bars with minimal giveback.
– CACI: Trend day structure, closing near highs of the analyzed window.
– HCI: Breakout into midday with higher low structure all morning.

– Targets (1–3 day swing): 48.85, 49.10, stretch 49.50–50.00 (using today’s ~1.26 range as a proxy for ATR).
– Entry: 48.60–48.70 on dip/hold.

Notes and Risk Management
– Sector tape matters: With Tech broadly weak (AMD, MU, KLAC, CRWD, SNOW, SHOP, GOOG/GOOGL, ADBE, ARM), favor longs in relative-strength groups (Energy/Insurance/Defense-IT/Healthcare distributors) until Tech reclaims key intraday pivots.
– Use staggered entries near supports, partial exits at each target, and adjust stops to breakeven once first target hits.
– Because only a 2-hour intraday window was provided, treat “daily” levels as provisional and confirm on your daily charts before execution.
