Big-picture read-through from the basket:
- Semiconductors and Semi-Equipment showed broad, coordinated intraday weakness after an early pop, then lower-high/lower-low structure into late morning: AMAT, LRCX, KLAC, TSM, ONTO, CAMT, AEIS, TER, AXTI all faded their opens and struggled to reclaim VWAPs. This looks like a distribution day for the group versus the tape.
- Mega-cap tech and AI-adjacent were soft-to-mixed: AMZN rolled over after an opening push; PLTR leaked to a late-morning low before stabilizing; DELL and APP trended lower. QQQ was red and made a lower low around 11:00 before a tepid bounce—risk appetite was muted during the window.
- Travel/Leisure pockets showed relative strength: BKNG stair-stepped to fresh intraday highs and held them. UAL pushed above its opening range and based near highs. MELI (e-commerce LATAM) steadily printed higher lows and higher highs through the morning—clear relative strength versus QQQ.
- Healthcare/MedTech mixed-to-strong: INSP broke out from the morning base with expanding range and held gains near HOD; WST and RVTY were firm; CRL gradually bid.
- Industrial/Services stable: CAT and CMI were choppy but orderly; CLH stair-stepped higher all morning; WEX grinded up and held.
- Energy/Retail Gas: MUSA advanced and held a high-level consolidation.
- Small/illiquid microcaps (HYFM, MAGH, TDTH, BOF, JWEL, ZEPP, SUGP) showed sporadic prints and thin books—higher risk of slippage and failed follow-through for 1–3 day swings.
- Notable intra-basket patterns:
- Rotation out of semis into selective travel/leisure and medtech leadership.
- Leaders held near high-of-day into midday (BKNG, MELI, INSP), while laggards couldn’t reclaim morning breakdown levels (AMAT, LRCX, KLAC, TSM, APP, DELL).
- QQQ weakness adds a headwind; longs with relative strength and clean levels are preferred for short-duration swings.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to outperform to the upside (relative-strength leaders):
– INSP (Medical Devices): Strong breakout and hold near HOD with expanding range—bullish.
– BKNG (Online Travel): Trend day higher; held highs—buyers in control.
– MELI (E-commerce): Persistent higher lows/highs intraday—momentum intact.
– UAL (Airlines): Above opening range, building a base near session highs—constructive.
– CLH (Environmental Services): Stair-step trend higher; buyers defending every dip.
Also on watch (secondary): WEX, MUSA, SNCY for continuation if indices stabilize.
Strong bullish signals today: INSP, BKNG, MELI.

Notes and risk management
– With QQQ red during the window and semis heavy, favor relative-strength longs (INSP, BKNG, MELI, UAL, CLH) and be selective with adds. If QQQ undercuts today’s intraday low in the next session, tighten stops or reduce size.
– Avoid illiquid tickers for 1–3 day swings (HYFM, MAGH, TDTH, BOF, JWEL), where thin books can invalidate levels.
– For fuller 10–30 day level mapping (true daily supply/demand), incorporate daily candles and ATRs; the levels above are derived from today’s developing daily ranges and 30-minute structures.
