November 4, 2025 6 min read

Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-11-04 11:00 to 13:00. Note: Only intraday 30-minute bars for this window were provided; no 30-day or 10-day history was included. The analysis below emphasizes the most recent intraday price/volume behavior and extrapolates short-term swing scenarios. If you can share the last 30 trading days, I’ll refine ATR-based targets and daily zones.

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis

  • Energy (Exploration/Refining): Firm bid and orderly uptrends.
    • E&P: VIST stair-stepped higher all session (48.27 → 48.93 HOD → 48.82 close) on steady volume.
    • Refining: PBF pushed higher in a clean channel (34.35 → 34.83 close). MPC held gains after a strong opening pop and based above 182.
    • Takeaway: Accumulation tone; dips were bought. Tickers: VIST, PBF, MPC.
  • Semiconductors/Semi-cap equipment: Mixed to weak with one standout.
    • Strength: FN reversed a morning flush and powered to new intraday highs (468 → 485 HOD), signaling relative strength.
    • Soft: AMD, ARM, KLAC trended lower/sideways; COHR was muted with a slight lift into midday.
    • Takeaway: Selective long setups exist (FN), broad group saw mid-day de-risking. Tickers: FN, AMD, ARM, KLAC, COHR, TER.
  • Financials: Heavy-to-flat.
    • Money-center/IB: GS, JPM bled lower intraday; COF heavy.
    • Specialty/Insurance: HCI pushed to session highs; CB flat. AER softened.
    • Takeaway: Banks faded; insurance was the bright spot. Tickers: GS, JPM, COF, HCI, CB, AER.
  • Healthcare/Distributors: Mixed.
    • MCK ground higher; CAH faded.
    • Takeaway: Stock-picking environment. Tickers: MCK, CAH, HCA.
  • Industrials/Capital equipment: Mixed.
    • POWL tried to reclaim 390 then faded to hold mid-range; FERG slipped; MOD held a tight range; TDG trended lower.
    • Takeaway: No broad momentum; pockets of strength on individual breakouts. Tickers: POWL, FERG, MOD, TDG, MEC, CHRW.
  • Tech/platforms and comm services: Faded.
    • GOOG/GOOGL drifted lower; TALK ranged tight.
    • Takeaway: Mega-cap tech showed distribution intraday. Tickers: GOOG, GOOGL, TALK.
  • Small-cap/momo and biotech: Hot tapes with range expansion.
    • DTCK exploded on surging volume with multiple intraday breakouts; FRGE broke out to new session highs; EVAX had a midday volume spike; TERN trended down then stabilized.
    • Takeaway: Momentum rotation into small-cap/high beta. Tickers: DTCK, FRGE, EVAX, TERN.

Notable cross-sector trend: Rotation into energy and selective high-beta momentum (DTCK, FRGE, FN), while mega-cap tech and banks faded. This supports a near-term long bias in strong relative-strength names with volume confirmation.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)

Likely upside continuations:
– DTCK, FN, VIST, HCI, FRGE

Strongest bullish signals:
– DTCK: Multiple higher-high breaks with accelerating volume; closed near the upper third of range.
– FN: High relative strength vs. semi peers; reclaimed and held highs into the close.
– VIST: Clean intraday uptrend with consistent higher lows; energy sector tailwind.
– HCI: Strong grind to new session highs; thin supply overhead into 207–210.
– FRGE: Range expansion and higher high (26.62) with follow-through potential.

Secondary watch (constructive but slightly lower priority): POWL, MPC, PBF.

Individual Stock Analysis (long-biased setups)

DTCK
– Key support (demand) zones:
– 4.75 (13:00 low/flag base)
– 4.50 (breakout pivot/round)
– 4.25 (midday pullback low)
– Key resistance (supply) zones:
– 5.10–5.13 (late supply near close)
– 5.38 (HOD)
– 5.50 (round; thin air above HOD)
– 30-minute outlook (next 2–3 days):
– Expect an opening digest between 4.80–5.20. Holding above 4.75 favors a squeeze through 5.38; failure back below 4.50 risks a deeper retrace to 4.25.
– 1–3 day swing targets:
– T1: 5.38 (HOD retest)
– T2: 5.80 (≈ 1x today’s expansion above HOD/round)
– T3: 6.20 (momentum extension if volume persists)
– Entry ideas:
– Pullback buy 4.80–4.90 with confirming higher low
– Breakout buy through 5.15–5.20 on volume
– Stop-loss:
– Tight: below 4.75
– Swing: below 4.50 (wider risk: below 4.25 if using pullback adds)

– 30-minute outlook (next 2–3 days):
– Bias for a shallow flag above 479–480, then a push through 485. Momentum continuation likely if semis stabilize even as peers lag.
– 1–3 day swing targets:
– T1: 485
– T2: 490–492
– T3: 498–500 if momentum broadens
– Entry ideas:

Notes and next steps
– Daily supply/demand zones and ATR: Without 10–30 days of daily data, the “daily zones” above are inferred from intraday pivots and psychological levels. For precision on ATR-based targets and true daily supply/demand, please share the last 30 trading days (OHLCV) for each ticker.
– Risk management: In high-beta names (DTCK, FRGE), consider scaling entries and using partial profit-taking at T1/T2 due to elevated intraday ranges.
