Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed: 2026-01-06 11:00–13:00)
Note: The data provided covers intraday 30-minute bars for the window above. Without the preceding 30 days of daily data, the read is momentum-centric and should be confirmed against your daily charts and ATRs.
- Healthcare/MedTech/Biotech
- Strength: ISRG (medical robotics) and VRTX (biotech) stair-stepped higher with higher highs and closes near session highs—accumulation tone.
- Weakness: REGN and BMRN faded intraday; micro-cap health (EKSO, NRXS) lacked sponsorship (EKSO trended down; NRXS illiquid/sideways).
- Takeaway: MedTech leadership (ISRG) > selective large-cap biotech (VRTX strength vs. REGN/BMRN softness).
- Aerospace/Defense
- TDY ground higher all session; LMT popped then bled back to flat—stock-specific leadership in components rather than primes.
- Consumer Discretionary/Travel
- FIVE led with a clean midday push and strong close; MAR maintained a steady bid, grinding to session highs.
- Data Center/REIT
- EQIX rose steadily into early afternoon before a modest pullback—constructive risk appetite in infra.
- Instruments/Precision and Semi-adjacent small cap
- MTD climbed gradually; TRT stalled after an early pop; ZKH trended lower—bifurcated tape with quality bid and risk-off in thin names.
Notable intraday patterns
– Consistent higher highs/higher lows and closes near HOD: ISRG, VRTX, FIVE, TDY, MAR (milder), EQIX (pullback after a steady ramp).
– Faders: REGN, BMRN, EKSO, ZKH; LMT neutral-to-soft post-pop.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation (strongest first):
– ISRG (strong bullish signal: higher highs, close at HOD, steady accumulation)
– VRTX (strong bullish signal: rising channel intraday, higher highs/lows)
– FIVE (strong bullish signal: momentum push with expanding range midday)
– TDY (orderly grind, pressing HOD late)
– EQIX (constructive trend; needs to reclaim 789–790 post-pullback)
– MAR (steady grind; less momentum than the leaders but constructive)
Avoid/neutral-to-weak for now: REGN, BMRN, LMT (neutral), EKSO, ZKH, TRT, NRXS, HKPD (illiquid)
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing framework; validate against your daily chart and ATR)
ISRG
– Key supports: 589.7–590.0; 587.1; 586.0
– Key resistances: 591.3 (HOD); 595; 600
– 30-min read / next 2–3 days: Expect buy-the-dip behavior above 589.5–590. A clean break/retest of 591.3 opens 593.5–595. Failure to hold 589.5 invites a backfill to 587, where buyers likely defend on first test.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 589.7–590.2 with strength returning
– Breakout: >591.4 on volume (prefer retest/hold)
– Stops:
– Tight: below 588.8 (pullback entry)
– Swing: below 586.0 (daily pivot zone)
– Targets:
– T1: 593.5–594.5
– T2: 595–597
– T3 (ATR proxy ≈ 1.5%): ~600
VRTX
– Key supports: 466.6; 465.5; 462.7
– Key resistances: 468.0–468.0+; 470.0; 472–473
– 30-min read / next 2–3 days: Continuation bias while holding 466.5. Push through 468 should trend into the 469.8–470.5 pocket; sustained bid could extend toward 472–473. Lose 465.5 and momentum stalls back to 463s.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 466.8–467.2
– Breakout: >468.1 with strong tape
– Stops:
– Tight: below 465.3
– Swing: below 462.6
– Targets:
– T1: 469.8–470.5
– T2: 472–473
– T3 (ATR proxy ~1.5%): ~475
FIVE
– Key supports: 202.2; 201.1–201.3; 200.0
– Key resistances: 203.6 (HOD); 205.0; 206.5–206.8
– 30-min read / next 2–3 days: Bull flag tone above 202–202.5. Break/hold above 203.6 targets 204.8–205.5 first, with potential extension into 206–206.8 if retail momentum persists.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 202.2–202.6
– Breakout: >203.7 on expanding volume
– Stops:
– Tight: below 201.5
– Swing: below 200.9
– Targets:
– T1: 204.8–205.5
– T2: 206–206.8
– T3 (ATR proxy ~1.5%): 208–209
TDY
– Key supports: 528.4–528.5; 527.5–527.8; 526.8
– Key resistances: 529.9–530.0; 531.0; 533.0
– 30-min read / next 2–3 days: Methodical uptrend into HOD; look for a push through 529.9–530 that grinds into 531–533. Dips to 528.5 likely get bought on first test if trend intact.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 528.4–528.8
– Breakout: >530.0 with confirmation
– Stops:
– Tight: below 527.4
– Swing: below 526.7
– Targets:
– T1: 531.0
– T2: 532.5–533.5
– T3 (ATR proxy ~1%): 535
EQIX
– Key supports: 787.0–787.5; 784.6; 782.5
– Key resistances: 790.0; 792.0; 795–797
– 30-min read / next 2–3 days: Constructive trend with a modest pullback. Reclaim/hold 789.5–790 turns the tape back up toward 792 then 795–797. Lose 786–787, expect a deeper check to 784.6.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 786.8–787.2 with buyers stepping in
– Reclaim: >789.5–790 hold
– Stops:
– Tight: below 785.9
– Swing: below 784.4
– Targets:
– T1: 792
– T2: 795–797
– T3 (ATR proxy ~1.2%): 799–800
MAR
– Key supports: 317.7–318.1; 317.2; 316.3
– Key resistances: 318.8 (HOD); 320.0; 322.0
– 30-min read / next 2–3 days: Slow grind; base 317.7–318.3 likely supports a measured breakout above 318.8 into 319.8–320.5. Momentum is gentler vs. leaders.
– Entries:
– Pullback: 317.8–318.1
– Breakout: >318.9 with follow-through
– Stops:
– Tight: below 317.0
– Swing: below 316.2
– Targets:
– T1: 319.8–320.5
– T2: 321.5–322
– T3 (ATR proxy ~1%): ~323
Quick risk notes
– Liquidity: Avoid thin micro-caps here (EKSO, NRXS, HKPD, ZKH) for multi-day swings; tape suggests lack of sponsorship and wider slippage.
– Confirmation: Because we lack the full 30-day/10-day daily context and ATRs, confirm these intraday-derived levels against your daily chart before execution.
– Position sizing: Size smaller on breakouts into nearby resistance; add on successful retests.
If you share the 30-day daily OHLCV for these tickers, I can refine daily supply/demand zones and ATR-based targets with tighter precision.
