Continuation Breakout Tuesday 4PM 1/13/2026

January 13, 2026 5 min read

Overall sector and industry analysis (EST window covered)
– Data received spans 2026-01-12 11:00 to 2026-01-13 16:00 EST, with most coverage on 2026-01-13 from 13:00–16:00.
– Note: 30-day/10-day context wasn’t included in the upload. Conclusions emphasize the most recent 30-minute bars and late-day accumulation/distribution, a primary tell for 1–3 day momentum swings.

Sector/industry takeaways from price/volume
– Healthcare/Biotech/Med services showed selective strength:
– Strength/accumulation: RVMD (pushed into the close to HOD), MEDP (ramped to near-HOD late), CYBR (steady grind with late-day bid). MRNA also bounced with heavy volume.
– Weak/dispersion: TMDX, TWST, STEM faded into the close; AGEN slipped.
– Consumer Discretionary (Retail/e-comm) tilted risk-on:
– BURL trended to HOD with increasing 15:30 volume; W closed near its session high with persistent bids.
– Industrials mixed and rotational:
– Firm: NOVT, WWD closed steady-to-strong with controlled ranges.
– Softer: MTZ, MYRG, FIX faded late; FTAI and INSW (transport/aviation/tankers) pulled back. XPO was range-bound.
– Energy/Materials weak: NINE faded; EOSE saw heavy distribution; ATLX slipped.
– Small-cap/micro-cap/illiquids largely not actionable for momentum (ANL, RAASY, SWVL, NSRX, TC, VTAK, REVB) due to sparse prints/spreads.
– High-volume speculative: RCAT spiked then faded hard—possible trader’s tape, but not a high-prob continuation signal without a reset day.

Noticeable patterns
– Strong late-day accumulation in quality growth (RVMD, BURL, MEDP, CYBR, NOVT) suggests continuation potential into the next 1–3 sessions if indices don’t gap down.
– Energy/renewables weakness (EOSE, NINE) points to de-risking there; avoid longs until basing or reclaim of VWAPs/highs.
– Retail leadership rotation (BURL strength; W steady) supports a short-term consumer-discretionary bid.

Ticker performance prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Likely to go up/continuation candidates: RVMD, BURL, MEDP, CYBR, W, NOVT, PLXS.
– Strongest bullish signals (late-day push to highs with volume and clean intraday structure): RVMD, BURL, MEDP, CYBR.

Individual stock analysis and trade plan (1–3 day swing)
Method notes: Key levels derived from today’s 30-min highs/lows and obvious round numbers. “ATR-based” targets use today’s realized intraday range as a proxy given missing 10–30 day ATR.

1) RVMD
– Context: Higher into the bell, closed at HOD (120.21) with rising 15:30 volume—classic continuation setup if first pullback is bought.
– Supports: 119.50–119.60; 118.83; 118.00.
– Resistances: 120.21 (HOD); 121.00; 122.40–122.60 (≈ 1.0x today’s range extension).
– Next 2–3 days: Favor early dip toward 119.5–119.8, then push through 120.2. If 118 breaks, expect 118–119 range build before another attempt.
– Targets (1–3 days): T1 121.00; T2 121.80; T3 122.40–122.60.
– Entry ideas: Scale 119.50–119.80 on a controlled pullback; momentum add on 120.25–120.35 break with rising 5–15 min volume.
– Stop: 118.70 (tight) or 117.90 (looser, below key shelf).

2) BURL
– Context: Trend day up; closing near HOD (310.22) after steady accumulation.
– Supports: 308.50; 307.50; 307.06.
– Resistances: 310.33 (HOD); 312.00; 313.50–313.60 (≈ 0.75–1.0x of today’s 3.27 range).
– Next 2–3 days: Look for an opening test of 308.8–309.2 then continuation through 310.3. Failure to hold 307.5 suggests digestion before another attempt.
– Targets: T1 311.80–312.00; T2 313.50; T3 315.00 (if market tailwind).
– Entry ideas: 308.8–309.2 pullback buy; breakout add through 310.35 with volume confirmation.
– Stop: 306.90 (beneath intraday low cluster).

3) MEDP
– Context: Strong closing ramp to 608.43, near session high (609.08).
– Supports: 606.30–606.80; 605.30; 603.80.
– Resistances: 609.08; 611.50–612.00 (≈ 0.5x range up); 614.50–615.00 (≈ 1.0x).
– Next 2–3 days: Expect an initial dip toward 606–607; buyers likely defend and press 609–612. Consolidation above 606 keeps the long thesis intact.
– Targets: T1 611.50–612.00; T2 614.50–615.00; stretch 618 if momentum broadens.
– Entry ideas: 606.5–607.2 first-buy zone; add on reclaim of 609 with volume.
– Stop: 604.80 (beneath 605.3 pivot).

4) CYBR
– Context: Steady intraday grind; closed 460.68, near HOD (460.92).
– Supports: 459.50; 458.70; 458.30.
– Resistances: 460.92; 462.00; 463.40–463.60 (≈ 0.5x range up).
– Next 2–3 days: Healthy to see a 459.7–460.1 retest then push through 461–462. Holding 458.7 keeps the trend intact.
– Targets: T1 462.00; T2 463.50; T3 465.00 (round-number magnet if sector bid persists).
– Entry ideas: Buy 459.7–460.1; momentum add through 461.00.
– Stop: 458.20 (below intraday shelf).

5) W
– Context: Tight, orderly strength; closed 119.22 near session highs.
– Supports: 118.70–118.80; 118.50; 118.30.
– Resistances: 119.28–119.30; 120.00; 121.00 (1x today’s realized range).
– Next 2–3 days: Expect a controlled dip into 118.7–118.9 and attempt on 119.3/120. A clean 120 reclaim opens 121 in 1–2 days.
– Targets: T1 120.00; T2 120.60–120.80; T3 121.00–121.20.
– Entry ideas: 118.70–118.95 pullback buy; breakout add above 119.30 with volume.
– Stop: 118.20 (beneath intraday base).

6) NOVT
– Context: Closed strong at 131.47, near HOD (131.78); stable tape.
– Supports: 131.06; 130.75; 130.29.
– Resistances: 131.78; 132.50; 133.00 (round).
– Next 2–3 days: Look for a shallow pullback to 131–131.2 and a measured pop toward 132.5. Lose of 130.75 likely means a day of digestion first.
– Targets: T1 132.00; T2 132.50; T3 133.00.
– Entry ideas: 131.00–131.20 buy zone; add on 131.80–131.90 break.
– Stop: 130.20.

7) PLXS
– Context: Closed 172.35 after defending dips; structure constructive.
– Supports: 171.90–172.00; 171.50; 170.58.
– Resistances: 172.51; 173.40 (≈ 0.5x range up); 174.40 (≈ 1.0x).
– Next 2–3 days: Prefer a brief pullback into 171.9–172.1, then push through 172.5. Above 172.5, path opens to 173.4–174.4 within 1–3 sessions.
– Targets: T1 172.90–173.00; T2 173.40; T3 174.40.
– Entry ideas: 171.9–172.1 pullback buy; breakout add through 172.55 with uptick in volume.
– Stop: 170.90 (beneath day low cluster).

Additional watch (not primary): MRNA showed a high-volume bounce and closed near highs; above 39.70 opens 40–40.50; support 39.00. Consider only if biotech index is firm.

What I’m avoiding for long setups near-term
– EOSE, NINE, ATLX, TMDX, TWST, STEM, INSW, FTAI, MYRG, MTZ: late-day fades/distribution. Prefer evidence of basing or reclaim of today’s VWAP/highs first.
– Illiquids (ANL, RAASY, SWVL, NSRX, TC, VTAK, REVB): prints are too sparse for reliable 1–3 day momentum risk management.

Risk management notes
– For momentum entries on pullbacks, I favor partial size at first support and add only if price confirms by reclaiming intraday VWAP/last minor high.
– If the market gaps down broadly, wait for the first 30–60 minutes to establish whether supports are defended before initiating.

Given the missing 10–30 day history, these plans are anchored to today’s 30-minute structure and late-day behavior—key drivers for 1–3 day swing follow-through.
