Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (based on provided data)
– Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-12-30 from 10:30 to 13:00.
– Scope note: You shared an intraday slice (30-minute candles). A true 30-day/10-day read isn’t in the file; conclusions below emphasize today’s 30-minute action and relative strength/weakness versus SPY/QQQ and across your tickers. Please validate daily levels on your charts.
Sector/industry read-through
– Broad market: SPY and QQQ were flat-to-soft mid-day, drifting slightly lower with typical lunchtime volume fade. Risk appetite looks muted into the early afternoon.
– Tech/software: Mixed-to-soft. GOOG/GOOGL bled lower in a gentle down-channel; HUBS, INTU, TYL, APPF also faded or chopped. VICR sold off steadily. Net: mega-cap comm services and software underperformed the indices in this window.
– Industrials: BA held a tight consolidation with a modest push toward 221.77 before settling—constructive but not explosive. FIX was mostly range-bound at elevated prices.
– Consumer: BKNG (travel) showed quiet strength, grinding higher and holding upper ranges—relative strength standout. CASY flat.
– Small/micro-cap health/biotech and special-sits: NXTC and NBY showed improving tape—higher lows and buyers supporting dips; IMRX held constructive above 6.65 after testing 6.84.
Notable patterns and tickers
– Relative strength vs QQQ/SPY: BKNG (steady bid), NXTC and NBY (momentum structure improving), IMRX (holding gains).
– Relative weakness: GOOG/GOOGL drifted lower with lower highs/lows; VICR trending down; several software names (HUBS, INTU, TYL, APPF) lacked follow-through.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Most likely to rise: BKNG, NXTC, NBY, IMRX.
– Strongest bullish tells:
– NXTC: Clear higher highs/lows intraday with a volume pop on the 11:30 bar; held most of its push.
– BKNG: Quiet relative strength while QQQ/SPY softened; holding near session highs.
– NBY: Steady bid progression with closes stair-stepping up; buyers defended dips.
– IMRX: Tight intraday coil above morning support after a test of 6.84; constructive base building.
Individual Stock Analysis (bullish candidates)
1) BKNG
– Bias (1–3 days): Bullish while above 5,431–5,435; looking for continuation toward round-number supply.

– 30-minute roadmap (next 2–3 sessions):
– Base above 5,435 → push through 5,455–5,460 opens 5,475–5,485; sustained strength targets a 5,500 test.
– Failure back inside 5,431 risks a dip probe toward 5,400 where buyers should re-assert if trend is intact.

Notes on names not selected for upside
– GOOG/GOOGL: Intraday lower-high/lower-low structure with soft tape; prefer strength confirmation above 315.50 before considering long.
– VICR: Clear intraday downtrend; avoid longs until it reclaims 115.70–116.00 with volume.
– BA: Constructive range but not an outright momentum setup yet; needs 221.80–222.00 breakout and market tailwind.
– HUBS, INTU, TYL, APPF: Choppy to soft; wait for higher lows and relative strength vs QQQ.
– SPY/QQQ: Flat-to-soft; any breakout plays should be sized with the broader tape in mind.
Risk management and ATR context
– Because ATR data wasn’t provided, targets above use nearby supply levels and round-number magnets seen on the 30-minute tape. Before execution, confirm daily ATR(14) and align T2/T3 with 0.5–1.0x ATR where appropriate.
– Always anchor stops just beyond the nearest invalidation area (below demand for longs) and size for risk.
