Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Analyzed window (EST): 2025-12-30, 09:30 to 12:00.
Data note: You provided intraday 30-minute bars for this morning only. Without the past 30 trading days (and the last 10-day segment) of daily candles and volume, I’m leaning on intraday momentum, relative strength vs SPY/QQQ, and obvious supply/demand from today’s action. Send the 30-day daily data if you want the full higher-timeframe validation.
Broad market: SPY and QQQ chopped in a tight range with slight net softening from the open and contracting volume into midday. That keeps beta tailwinds muted and puts a premium on stock-specific relative strength.
Sector/industry color using your tickers:
– Software/IT services (HUBS, TYL, INTU, APPF, IT): Mixed. HUBS showed steady bid and higher highs through 11:00. TYL popped to 464.4 then faded toward 461. INTU and IT were tight, two-way and range-bound. APPF faded from the open and couldn’t reclaim VWAP-style areas intraday.
– Semis/Power (VICR): Clear relative strength—higher highs and higher lows, with volume expanding on pushes to 116s.
– Aerospace/Defense/Industrial (BA, TDY, FIX, FEIM, MIND): BA showed constructive grind higher with improving volume into 11:00. TDY was tight, balanced. FIX coiled ~952–958. FEIM spiked early then retraced to the mid-56s. MIND chopped in a 9.00–9.25 box.
– Consumer/Discretionary/Staples (BKNG, CASY, DAVE): BKNG choppy and slightly heavy after the open. CASY very tight, low-energy tape. DAVE had opening volatility then flattened.
– Communication Services/Internet (GOOG, GOOGL): Tight, indecisive, small range; no clear leadership.
– Biotech/Micro-cap (NBY): Strong morning pop, then bull flag-type hold above 5.50; volume cooled but held gains.
Noticeable patterns:
– Relative strength leaders: VICR (semis strength), HUBS (software bid), BA (aerospace bid), NBY (speculative momentum).
– Mean-reversion candidates: APPF (downtrend intraday), FEIM (gave back early strength).
– Indices’ chop supports fade-the-extremes tactics; momentum names with real volume follow-through are more dependable.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to continue higher (bullish bias):
– VICR, HUBS, BA. Secondary/speculative: NBY, TYL (needs reclaim).
Strongest bullish signals:
– VICR: Higher highs/lows with push volume and holding above 115.
– HUBS: Trend up from the open, defended 400, printed new intraday highs.
– BA: Steady grind higher, relative strength vs SPY/QQQ.
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Key levels are derived from today’s intraday supply/demand and round-number pivots in lieu of a 30-day daily context.
VICR
– Supports: 115.20; 114.70; 112.70–112.45 zone.
– Resistances: 116.33 (HOD); 117.50; 118.80–120.00 zone.
– 30-minute price action view (2–3 days): Expect a buy-the-dip structure so long as 114.7–115.2 holds. Break/close above 116.3 opens a measured move toward high-117s and possibly 119–120 if momentum persists.
– 1–3 day targets: 116.30, 117.80, 119.50–120.00.
– Entries:
– Tier 1: 115.00–115.20 pullback tag.
– Tier 2: Breakout add on 116.35–116.50 with close above on 30-min.
– Stops:
– Conservative: 114.40 (below intraday pivot).
– Aggressive swing: 112.60 (below morning demand).
HUBS
– Supports: 402.99; 400.00–401.00; 396.70 (morning low).
– Resistances: 405.54 (HOD); 407.50–408.00; 410.50–411.00.
– 30-minute price action view (2–3 days): Trend intact above 400. Expect shallow pullbacks toward 401–403 to get bought; break/hold above 405.5 likely extends into 408 then 410–411.
– 1–3 day targets: 405.50, 408.00, 410.50–411.00.
– Entries:
– Tier 1: 401.50–403.00 pullback toward prior demand.
– Tier 2: 405.60–405.90 breakout confirmation.
– Stops:
– Conservative: 399.80–400.00.
– Wider swing: 396.40 (below morning base).
BA
– Supports: 220.40; 219.80; 219.20–219.00.
– Resistances: 221.88 (HOD); 222.50; 223.50–224.00.
– 30-minute price action view (2–3 days): Constructive stair-step. Holding above 220.4 keeps the path open to retest 221.9; a clean break could see 222.5 then 223.5 as daily-range extensions.
– 1–3 day targets: 222.00, 223.00, 224.00.
– Entries:
– Tier 1: 220.40–220.60 pullback.
– Tier 2: 221.95 breakout/acceptance.
– Stops:
– Conservative: 219.70.
– Wider swing: 219.00.
NBY (speculative)
– Supports: 5.50; 5.30; 5.00.
– Resistances: 5.70 (intraday spike); 5.90; 6.20.
– 30-minute price action view (2–3 days): Bull flag tone so long as 5.50 holds. If volume returns on a 5.70 break, a squeeze into 5.90–6.20 is plausible. Liquidity risk is elevated.
– 1–3 day targets: 5.70, 5.90, 6.20.
– Entries:
– Tier 1: 5.48–5.52 pullback hold.
– Tier 2: 5.72–5.75 breakout with tape speed/volume confirmation.
– Stops:
– Tight: 5.38–5.40.
– Swing: 5.18 (below morning demand).
TYL
– Supports: 461.00–461.10; 459.75–459.90; 458.05.
– Resistances: 462.10; 463.30; 464.38 (HOD).
– 30-minute price action view (2–3 days): Early pop failed; base building above 460.8 needed. If reclaimed/held above 462, look for a rotate toward 463.3 then 464.4. Lose 459.7 and it likely revisits 458s.
– 1–3 day targets: 462.00, 463.30, 464.40–466.00.
– Entries:
– Tier 1: 460.90–461.20 higher low confirmation.
– Tier 2: 462.10 reclaim/hold.
– Stops:
– Conservative: 459.60.
– Wider swing: 457.90.
Context and risk management
– Indices are range-bound; leadership is narrow. Favor names with clear relative strength and volume confirmation (VICR, HUBS, BA).
– If SPY/QQQ break down from today’s balance, tighten stops on breakouts and lean more on pullback entries at well-defined demand.
