Continuation Breakout Tuesday 3PM 10/28/2025

October 28, 2025 5 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window reviewed: 2025-10-28 13:00–15:00)

Note on data coverage: You provided an intraday 30‑minute slice for each ticker (today’s early afternoon). I’m basing the 1–3 day read primarily on the 30‑minute structure, relative strength, and volume behavior during this window. I do not have full 30‑day daily candles; any 10–30 day context below is inferred from the current intraday momentum and typical behavior for the names/sectors.

  • Technology leadership persisted:
    • Semis and infrastructure: AVGO pushed to session highs into the close with elevated volume; LITE coiled just under 200; DELL ground higher all session; SNOW firm-to-sideways. These patterns favor continuation/breakout attempts in the next 1–3 sessions.
    • Cybersecurity/software: CRWD showed a strong 13:30 buy surge (to 553.6) then held higher, closing near day highs—bullish continuation setup. MNDY/ADSK were constructive but tighter.
  • Industrials mixed-to-constructive:
    • HUBB attempted a breakout multiple times and closed strong near high-of-session—accumulation footprint. LII/IBP softer; MEC soft.
  • Healthcare/Biotech selective:
    • REGN ripped late to close at HOD (649.31)—classic power close. Larger-cap biotech (VRTX) flat; ARGX tight; small/mid-caps mixed (DTIL strong close; VRDN drifted; CELZ faded).
  • Consumer Discretionary uneven:
    • Retail/home-related weak (LOW, DHI, AZO, BOOT choppy). EXPE flat. SHOP had a steady upward grind intra-day—relative winner.
  • Financials soft: AXP and AMP faded slightly; MSCI had a methodical grind higher intraday.
  • Energy mixed: VAL flat; GEOS faded then bounced late—still distributive over this window.
  • Utilities/EM: KEP flat; ARGT faded throughout the window (EM risk-off tone this afternoon).

Notable intraday trends/patterns:
– “Power closes” or repeated high retests into the bell (AVGO, REGN, HUBB, CRWD, SHOP, DELL) suggest near-term continuation potential.
– Retail/homebuilders (LOW, DHI, AZO) and some financials (AXP, AMP) showed weaker tape—risk of further mean reversion lower unless indexes lift.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)

Most likely to push higher (bullish setups):
– AVGO, CRWD, HUBB, REGN, DELL, SHOP, LITE, MSCI, DTIL (speculative, higher risk)

Strongest bullish signals now:
– REGN (power close at HOD), AVGO (highs into close with volume), CRWD (midday surge held; closing near highs), HUBB (multiple breakout attempts, closed strong). DELL/SHOP show steady accumulation footprints. LITE is a classic “coil under big round number” (200) pre-breakout look. MSCI grinding trend. DTIL is a speculative momentum continuation if 8.15 holds.

Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing plan, 30‑minute chart driven)

AVGO
– Support: 371.40 (14:30 close), 370.05 (14:00 low), 367.68 (13:00 low)

– Expected 2–3 day action: Look for a shallow pullback to 371.5–372, then push through 373.9. Holding above 372.5 favors 376–378; market tailwind can stretch to ~380.
– Targets (1–3 days): 374.0, 376.5, 380.0
– Entries: 371.6–372.2 retest; alt 369.8–370.2 deeper dip

Additional sector color and names to watch
– Semi/AI complex breadth (AVGO, LITE, DELL, SNOW, BULZ proxy) remained firm into the close—constructive for continued rotation into tech.
– Cybersecurity leadership (CRWD) often persists 1–3 sessions after strong “hold-the-surge” days.
– Industrial electrical (HUBB) strength hints at ongoing capex/electrification theme; dips to prior breakout zones are attractive.
– If broader tape weakens, discretionary/home-related laggards (LOW, DHI, AZO) are likely to stay under relative pressure short term.

Risk management notes
– The patterns above came from a narrow intraday window; use opening print and VWAP on the next session to validate these reads.
– Factor index beta: if QQQ/SOXF open weak, favor patience on breakouts; if they trend higher, momentum triggers have higher follow-through odds.
– Size smaller on thin names (DTIL, CELZ, OMSE, GEOS) due to liquidity gaps and slippage.
