Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Datetime range reviewed (EST): 2025-12-23, 13:00–15:00 on 30‑minute bars for all tickers provided. Note: only this intraday window was supplied; I’m inferring swing context from the current momentum/volume profile. If you can share the full past 30 daily sessions, I’ll refine daily zones and ATR-based targets.
- Materials/Precious Metals: Bullish. GLD and PPLT both pressed higher into the close with persistent higher highs and strong, steady volume—classic risk hedge/commodity bid. Tickers: GLD, PPLT.
- Industrials/Infrastructure: Mixed-to-positive. Heavy equipment (CAT) faded modestly, but niche infra/electrical names showed stronger accumulation and closes near highs (STRL, POWL, HUBB). Tickers: STRL, POWL, HUBB up; CAT slightly down.
- Media/Communications: Bid favored. WBD advanced with a notable 14:00 volume surge and held gains; NXST also strengthened into the close. Tickers: WBD, NXST.
- Financials/Insurance: Soft. CB, TRV, AXP all drifted lower or faded into the bell—rotation out of financials short term. Tickers: CB, TRV, AXP.
- Utilities/Energy: CEG faded throughout the window—defensive leadership not present. Ticker: CEG.
- Biotech/Spec: Risk-on pockets. TERN trended up, closing near session highs; CYBN broke to its session high late. Tickers: TERN, CYBN.
- Micro/small caps: Mixed and illiquid action (ANL, NEWP, LLYX, HIFS) suggests selectivity is critical.
Noticeable patterns
– “Into-the-bell” strength in metals (GLD, PPLT) and infra/electrical (STRL, HUBB, POWL) suggests near-term continuation potential.
– Media showed accumulation (WBD, NXST), while large-cap financials faded (CB, TRV, AXP)—a short-term rotation away from financials.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation candidates (strongest signals first):
– PPLT, GLD: Metals leadership, higher highs with steady volume; momentum continuation favored.
– STRL: Persistent intraday higher highs/lows; closed near HOD.
– WBD: Strong mid-afternoon volume expansion, held gains.
– TERN, CYBN: Biotech strength, both closing near highs.
Secondary watchlist for upside if market tailwind persists: HUBB, POWL, NXST, AYI.
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Support/resistance derived from today’s intraday structure and nearby round-number supply/demand zones. Without 30-day dailies, treat these as provisional; I’ll refine with full daily history and ATR on request.

Risk management and notes
– These are momentum swing plans derived from a limited intraday window; confirm with premarket/next session structure and broader market tone.
– Size positions so a stop-out costs a small, fixed fraction of equity.
– If you can share the last 30 daily bars per ticker, I’ll recalibrate supports/resistances to true daily supply/demand and set ATR-anchored targets with higher precision.
