- Tools/medtech softer: DHR and BDX faded intraday.
- SMID-cap biotech highly selective: ARVN sold off hard on heavy volume (distribution), while RIGL trended up into new session highs; MLTX stair-stepped higher with persistent bids; TARA broke out sharply late day with volume; SLDB/ADAG/ELIL thin and choppy.
- Industrials/Aerospace/Defense: Neutral to slightly constructive.
- TDG, HEI, DE, CMI traded tight and orderly; modest upward bias in CMI/DE late. No aggressive momentum, but dips were bought.
- Renewables/Solar/Clean Energy: Leadership emerging.

Noticeable patterns
– Momentum favoring selective growth/clean energy (FSLR, SPRU) and selective SMID biotech (TARA, RIGL, MLTX).
– Trend-day type action in HLT with buyers into the bell.
– Distribution in ARVN and weakness in medtech/tools (BDX, DHR), suggesting defensive stock-picking rather than broad healthcare strength.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside follow-through candidates:
– TARA, RIGL, MLTX, FSLR, HLT, SPRU, ACVA
Strongest bullish signals today:
– TARA (late-day breakout on expanding volume), RIGL (higher highs/higher lows, strong closing zone), MLTX (persistent accumulation and closes near highs), FSLR (multiple HOD tests with broad-sector confirmation), HLT (trend up with closing strength), SPRU (accumulation pattern), ACVA (range expansion higher and higher lows).
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Key support/resistance derived from today’s 30-min structure; validate against the daily chart before trade. Use the session’s observed range as a proxy for near-term volatility when sizing targets/stops.
1) TARA
– Supports: 6.50; 6.28–6.30 base; 6.17
– Resistances: 6.62 (HOD zone); 6.75; 7.00
– 2–3 day view: Momentum continuation favored if 6.50 holds; expect an early pullback into 6.45–6.55 then grind toward 6.75; breakout attempts above 6.62 can squeeze quickly.
– Entries: 6.50–6.55 on dip; add above 6.62 on confirmed breakout.
– Stops: 6.25 (below base); tighter 6.38 if breakout add.
– Targets (1–3 days): 6.75; 6.90; 7.10–7.20 if momentum persists.
–
2) RIGL
– Supports: 45.60–45.70; 45.40; 45.00
– Resistances: 46.10; 46.30; 46.50
– 2–3 day view: Bias up; look for a flag just under 46 then continuation toward 46.30–46.50. Failure to hold 45.40 would weaken the setup.
– Entries: 45.60–45.80 on controlled pullbacks; add through 46.10.
– Stops: 45.20 (beneath intraday higher-low shelf).
– Targets (1–3 days): 46.30; 46.50; stretch 46.90.
–
3) MLTX
– Supports: 13.63–13.65; 13.56; 13.50
– Resistances: 13.78; 13.90; 14.00
– 2–3 day view: Constructive; expect shallow dip buy behavior with attempts to clear 13.78/13.90. A close over 13.90 opens 14.00–14.20.
– Entries: 13.60–13.66; add through 13.78.
– Stops: 13.48 (below intraday demand).
– Targets (1–3 days): 13.90; 14.05; 14.20.
–
4) FSLR
– Supports: 255.00–255.20; 254.49; 254.06
– Resistances: 256.88; 257.38 (session high); 258.50
– 2–3 day view: Lean bullish while above 255. Pullbacks to 255–255.2 likely get bought; look for an extension attempt toward 257.4–258.5.
– Entries: 255.20–255.60 on dip; add >256.90 on strength.
– Stops: 254.20 (below visible demand); conservative swing 253.80 if sizing larger.
– Targets (1–3 days): 257.40; 258.50; stretch 260.00 if sector stays bid.
–
5) HLT
– Supports: 269.00–269.20; 268.34; 267.80
– Resistances: 270.24; 271.00; 272.00
– 2–3 day view: Trend-day behavior often carries; expect a mild pullback into 269s then a push to take out 270.24 and probe 271–272.
– Entries: 269.20–269.60; add through 270.25.
– Stops: 268.80 (beneath pullback low); wider swing 268.30.
– Targets (1–3 days): 270.80; 271.80; 272.50–273.00.

– Stops: 6.35.
– Targets (1–3 days): 6.70; 6.80; 6.90.

Context notes and risk management
– Several names with sharp afternoon moves (TARA, FBRX) can retrace early next session; prefer staged entries near support and avoid chasing extended candles.
– Use smaller size in thin/illiquid tickers (e.g., ADAG, ELIL) and those with erratic prints.
– If you want 30-day/daily supply-demand zones and ATR-calibrated targets, share the daily OHLCV history; I’ll refine levels and expected move ranges accordingly.
