Overall sector and industry analysis (EST range analyzed)
– Range analyzed: 2025-12-16, 11:30–14:00 EST, 30-minute bars from your upload. A 30-day daily series wasn’t provided, so comments on “30 days/10 days” are inferred from today’s intraday momentum/volume footprints; daily supply/demand zones below use intraday proxies and psychological handles.
Sector/industry read-through from the basket
– Software/AI: Divergence. PLTR showed clean higher-lows → higher-highs with a strong 13:30 volume surge and held gains into 14:00. MDB faded most of the session and couldn’t reclaim VWAP-like levels, indicating rotation toward AI leaders (PLTR) and away from high-beta software laggards (MDB).
– Entertainment/Media: TKO trended up all session, printing fresh intraday highs (212.88), modestly consolidating without heavy distribution — constructive for follow-through.
– Industrials/Materials/Capex: RS slipped and expanded range down on its 13:30 bar with heavier volume — distribution tone. HRI bled lower from 158s to mid-155s with lower-highs; sellers in control intraday.
– Consumer: DLTR had choppy lower highs with light bids; EB flat; DIBS drifted lower — discretionary/retail not showing momentum leadership on this tape.
– Healthcare/Biotech: EYPT broke out from 16.6s to 17.25 on rising volume, closed near highs — relative strength. SRPT recovered modestly intraday but lacked strong volume confirmation; TOI range-bound.
– Financials: MSBI and DHIL were illiquid/sideways — neutral.
– Small-caps/microcaps: TORO stair-stepped higher to 5.47 on rising volume late in the window; EVEX/TOI flat; SFHG upticked on trivial liquidity; SOS pinned at 1.47–1.50 with thin prints — microcap edges are mostly liquidity-driven.
Notable patterns
– Momentum continuation setups: PLTR, TKO, EYPT showed rising highs with volume expansion on up-bars and shallow pullbacks — classic short-term continuation footprints.
– Distribution/weakness: RS, HRI, MDB had lower highs and larger volume on down-bars, suggesting supply overhead.
– Liquidity pockets: UPB and PLTU showed sharp mid-day pushes with volume bursts and then constructive consolidations — candidates for second-leg attempts if supports hold.
Ticker performance prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Most likely upside continuation: PLTR, TKO, EYPT, UPB, PLTU, TORO.
– Strongest bullish signals today: PLTR (volume-led breakout, strong close near HOD), TKO (trend day up with steady buying), EYPT (range expansion and close near high with increasing volume).
Individual stock analysis (setups for a 1–3 day swing)
Note: Daily supply/demand levels proxied from intraday structure and psychological handles due to absent daily series. Manage risk tightly; thin names can gap.
PLTR
– Bias: Short-term bullish; momentum continuation favored if 186.5–187.0 holds.
– Key support: 186.90–187.00; 185.78; 184.48–184.61.
– Key resistance/supply: 187.58 (intraday high); 188.50; 190.00 (psych).
– 30-min price action outlook (2–3 days): Prefer a minor pullback into 186s → push through 187.6. Holding above 185.8 keeps bulls in control; loss of 184.9 would damage structure.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 187.6; T2 188.5; stretch T3 190.0.
– Entries: Tier in 186.2–186.6 on pullback; add on 187.6 break/hold.
– Stop-loss: 185.2 (below 185.5 shelf); conservative traders trail under 186 after breakout hold.
TKO
– Bias: Bullish; orderly trend up with shallow dips.
– Key support: 211.78–211.98; 211.22; 210.90.
– Key resistance/supply: 212.88; 213.50; 215.00.
– 30-min outlook: Expect retest of 211.9–212.1 and attempt to clear 212.9. Failures likely bought above 211.2 while momentum persists.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 212.9; T2 213.8–214.2; T3 215.0.
– Entries: 211.9–212.2 pullback; breakout add >212.9 with a hold.
– Stop-loss: 210.8 (below intraday base).
EYPT
– Bias: Bullish; expansion day with a strong close.
– Key support: 17.15; 16.95; 16.67.
– Key resistance/supply: 17.255; 17.50; 17.90–18.00.
– 30-min outlook: Look for consolidation 17.0–17.2, then a push through 17.26. Momentum intact while above ~16.95.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 17.30; T2 17.50; stretch T3 17.90.
– Entries: 17.00–17.10 first test; add on 17.26 break/hold.
– Stop-loss: 16.62 (below 12:30–13:00 demand zone).
UPB
– Bias: Bullish; strong mid-day surge, then constructive consolidation.
– Key support: 28.97; 28.60; 28.10.
– Key resistance/supply: 29.3196; 29.50; 30.00.
– 30-min outlook: Prefer higher low above 28.6–28.9, then retest 29.32. Sustained bids above 29 open a measured leg toward high 29s.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 29.32; T2 29.80; stretch T3 30.50.
– Entries: 28.75–28.95 on dip; momentum add through 29.33 with hold.
– Stop-loss: 28.10–28.20 (below the 12:00 consolidation).
PLTU
– Bias: Bullish; breakout to 83.57 with higher-low structure.
– Key support: 83.08–83.10; 81.96; 81.05.
– Key resistance/supply: 83.57; 84.00; 85.00.
– 30-min outlook: Expect a retest of 82.4–82.9; hold there sets up a second attempt at 83.6–84. A daily close above 84 would confirm momentum.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 83.60; T2 84.20; stretch T3 85.00.
– Entries: Scale in 82.40–82.90; breakout add >83.60 with hold.
– Stop-loss: 81.80 (below 82 round and 13:00 pivot).
TORO
– Bias: Cautiously bullish; stair-step higher with rising late-session volume.
– Key support: 5.33; 5.28–5.30; 5.18–5.20.
– Key resistance/supply: 5.47; 5.55; 5.70.
– 30-min outlook: Dips toward 5.30–5.35 likely get bought for a retest of 5.47; clean break could squeeze to mid-5.5s.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 5.47; T2 5.55; stretch T3 5.70.
– Entries: 5.30–5.35 pullback; add on 5.48 break/hold.
– Stop-loss: 5.22 (below 5.28 shelf).
Names to avoid on the long side near-term (until structure improves)
– RS, HRI, MDB, DLTR, COLD, DIBS — showing distribution/drift with no strong bid today. Wait for base/reclaim days.
Notes and next steps
– For higher-confidence daily support/resistance and ATR-based targets, please provide 30 trading days of daily OHLCV for each name. That will let me anchor levels to true daily supply/demand and calibrate 1–3 day target distances to each ticker’s current volatility profile.
