Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2026-01-06 from 13:30 to 16:00.
– Data constraint note: Only intraday 30-minute bars for the latest session were provided. I emphasize the last two hours’ price/volume development and relative strength vs SPY as a proxy for short-term momentum. No 30-day daily history was included, so daily-level supply/demand zones are approximated using visible intraday pivots and psychological levels.
- Sector/industry takeaways based on the provided tickers:
- Healthcare/Biotech/MedTech showed clear leadership into the close with rising volume and closes near highs: VRTX, REGN, NTRA, ISRG, BMRN, EKSO. This cohort outperformed a flat SPY tape and printed higher-highs late day with volume expansion.
- Industrials/Transportation also firm: FDX broke higher late with a strong 15:30 bar; PH held high ground; TDY steady; NPO steady. EQIX (data center REIT) was neutral; MA (payments) and FCNCA (bank) were flat-to-choppy.
- Consumer names mixed: MAR (lodging) trended higher into the close; COST faded in the final hour.
- Micro/small caps had selective momentum: EKSO trended higher; NRXS up modestly; HKPD and FOXX were illiquid/whippy; MULL had a strong ramp.
Noticeable patterns
– Broad market (SPY) was rangebound and slightly heavy into the final half hour, while leaders (VRTX, REGN, NTRA, FDX, ISRG, MAR, EKSO, MULL) pushed to session highs on expanding volume. This relative strength into weakness is a short-term bullish tell for 1–3 day momentum swings.
– Multiple names printed late-day bull flags or higher-low, higher-high structures on 30-minute bars with rising closing demand, suggesting continuation setups if early pullbacks hold.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to continue higher: VRTX, REGN, NTRA, FDX, ISRG, MAR
Speculative/high beta continuation candidates: EKSO, MULL
– Strongest bullish signals: VRTX, REGN, NTRA, FDX (clear higher-highs plus volume expansion into the close vs flat SPY)
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Key levels are derived from the provided intraday bars (as proxies for near-term supply/demand) plus nearby psychological round numbers. Trade plans assume standard momentum behavior: early pullback to support or breakout continuation with volume.
1) VRTX
– Supports: 467.11; 465.22; 464.17
– Resistances: 469.16 (HOD); 472.00; 475.00
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days): Expect an early dip-and-rip setup. A hold above 465–467 favors a grind over 469.2 and a push toward 472. Failure below 464 negates the momentum.
– 1–3 day price targets: 469.2; 471.7–472.0; stretch 474.5–475.0
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 466.0–467.0 with higher-low confirmation
– Breakout buy >469.25 on rising volume
– Stop-loss:
– Pullback entry: below 465.2
– Breakout entry: below 467.1 (or session VWAP if tighter risk management)
2) REGN
– Supports: 774.79–774.56; 773.46; 771.76
– Resistances: 776.99 (HOD); 779–780; 782–783 (measured move zone)

Additional notes
– Names showing weakness or neutrality today: COST (late-day fade), EQIX (rangebound), MA (choppy), FCNCA (flat), PH (slight fade late), TDY (minor give-back), MTD (late fade). I would avoid long momentum swings in these until they reclaim late-day highs on volume.
– Risk management: For momentum breakouts, keep stops tight just below reclaimed levels; for pullback entries, stops should sit just beneath the most recent higher-low or the nearest support listed. If SPY breaks down materially, trim risk across all longs.
If you can share daily data for the last 30 days, I can refine the daily supply/demand zones and ATR-based targets with higher precision.
