Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-11-25 09:30–12:00. Only today’s intraday 30-minute bars were provided; 30-day and 10-day context is approximated using today’s momentum/volume as a proxy for short-term (1–3 day) follow-through.
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis:
– Financials strong and broad: Ratings/analytics and asset managers pressed higher with steady higher-highs/higher-lows and orderly bids: MCO, FDS, AMP. Regional/specialty financials (HIFS, FRFHF) also firm but illiquid.
– Healthcare/MedTech leadership: Surgical devices and life-science tools showed clean trend days: GKOS trended with expanding range and strong volume bursts; DHR trended up after an opening-range break; smaller-cap biotech DMAC pushed, held higher lows.
– Tech/Infra constructive: AKAM stair-stepped higher on diminishing pullbacks; DV drifted up but lighter conviction late.
– Consumer Discretionary firm: AZO powered from the open and held gains; FIVE reclaimed opening range and held mid-day.
– Materials/Mining mixed-to-soft: HYMC couldn’t break morning highs and churned under 10; TG range-bound and heavy into mid-day.
– Consumer Staples lagged: COKE faded all morning, under VWAP-type behavior (intraday lower highs/lows).
Notable patterns:
– Many leaders closed the morning session near highs (continuation-friendly): AZO, GKOS, AKAM, MCO, DHR, FDS, AMP, LLYX.
– Opening-range breakouts held and based (measured-move setups) in AZO, DHR, MCO, GKOS, FIVE.
– Laggards to avoid on the long side near-term: COKE weakness; HYMC range failure; TG illiquid chop.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days):
– Most likely to advance: GKOS, AZO, AKAM, MCO, DHR, DMAC.
– Also constructive, but slightly lower conviction due to liquidity or weaker late-morning volume: FIVE, FDS, AMP, LLYX, XTKG.
– Strongest bullish signals: GKOS (trend + volume expansion), AZO (trend day, held gains), MCO (clean ORB and measured-move path), AKAM (stair-step trend), DHR (orderly grind with room to extend).

Additional bullish watchlist (no full plan here): FIVE (above 164.2 for 165.7 then 166.5), FDS (over 280.4 for 281.5–283), AMP (over 454.6 for 456–458), LLYX (needs hold above 27.50 for 28.00 test). XTKG is momentum-positive but very illiquid; use extreme caution.
Notes and risk management:
– Given only partial intraday data, these support/resistance zones are intraday-derived proxies for near-term supply/demand; confirm against your daily chart before placing trades.
– Use position sizing appropriate for volatility (AZO and MCO have large absolute moves; DMAC/XTKG carry gap/flush risk).
– Prefer buying pullbacks into support during consolidations rather than chasing extended candles; require volume confirmation on breakouts.
