Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range analyzed: 2025-10-21, 12:30–19:30 ET; mix of regular and after-hours prints)
– Important context: Only intraday bars from 10/21 were provided, so 30-day and 10-day trend context is not visible here. The commentary below focuses on intraday momentum, closing strength/weakness, and likely 1–3 day follow-through based on 30-minute structure. Confirm these with your own daily charts.
– Industrials/Automation/Distribution (FDX, ROK, HUBB, FERG, ZBRA, IBP): Broadly soft through the final two hours with lower highs and pressure into the close (FDX, ROK, FERG, ZBRA), though HUBB stabilized late. This reads as near-term distribution/rotation out of industrials.
– Consumer Discretionary/Retail (EAT, BOOT, LOW, DBGI, AZULQ): Mixed. LOW was heavy and couldn’t reclaim VWAP late; BOOT and EAT strengthened into the close with buyers showing up on rising volume; microcaps (DBGI/AZULQ) were illiquid and noisy.
– Tech/Semis/Comms HW (VICR, SNDK, IDCC, ZBRA): Mixed-to-positive at the close. IDCC stair-stepped higher and held most gains; VICR firmed after-hours; ZBRA faded; SNDK flat.
– Health Care/Biotech (STOK, DRUG, IMNM, ONCO): Momentum cohort. STOK and DRUG broke higher and closed near session highs with expanding end-of-day volume; IMNM/ONCO showed late ramps, albeit on lighter prints.
Notable cross-ticker patterns
– Late-day momentum and HOD closes in selective biotech (STOK, DRUG) and discretionary (EAT, BOOT) suggest potential continuation.
– Industrials softness (FDX/ROK/FERG/ZBRA) argues for caution there over the next 1–3 sessions unless they reclaim key intraday supply.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Most likely to push higher: STOK, EAT, DRUG, VICR, IDCC, BOOT. Strongest bullish signals: STOK (clean breakout + AH follow-through), EAT (higher-highs into close + AH print near 134), DRUG (HOD close), IDCC (trend day up), VICR (AH accumulation), BOOT (reclaim and strong close).
– High-risk/speculative momentum: ONCO, IMNM (thin AH prints; use smaller size).
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing setups)
Note: Levels are derived from the 10/21 30-min structure plus obvious round-number supply/demand. Use your daily chart to validate higher-timeframe confluence.
1) STOK
– Key supports: 34.33; 34.13; 34.02/34.00.
– Key resistances: 34.69 (HOD); 34.99–35.00; 35.50.
– 2–3 day price action view: Prefer early dip and hold above 34.30–34.50, then push through 35.00 for continuation. If 34.00 fails, likely a 33.70–33.90 liquidity sweep before any bounce.
– Targets (1–3 day): 35.00, 35.40–35.70, stretch 36.00 (using ~0.65–1.0x today’s true range extension).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 34.35–34.50 (prior pivot/VWAP zone).
– Breakout buy >35.05 with volume.
– Stop-loss: 33.95 (beneath 34.02/34.00 shelf). Tighter traders: 34.10 if entering >35.
2) EAT
– Key supports: 133.00; 132.39; 132.18.
– Key resistances: 133.62; 133.98–134.00; 135.00.
– 2–3 day price action view: Constructive above 133.00. Look for a morning retest of 133.00–133.20 to hold, then a push into/through 134.00. Failure to hold 133 opens a test of 132.40–132.20.
– Targets (1–3 day): 134.20, 134.90, 135.60 (approx. 0.7–1.3x today’s range).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 133.10–133.20.
– Breakout >134.05 on expanding volume.
– Stop-loss: 132.35 (below intraday demand); wider swing: 132.10.
3) DRUG
– Key supports: 68.03; 67.49; 66.17.
– Key resistances: 69.47 (HOD); 69.90–70.00; 70.50.
– 2–3 day price action view: Expect shallow pullback after strong close; holding above 68.50 keeps trend intact. A clean break >69.50 should magnet 70.00/70.50. Lose 67.50 and momentum stalls.
– Targets (1–3 day): 69.90, 70.50, 71.50 (momentum extension).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 68.30–68.60.
– Breakout add >69.55.
– Stop-loss: 67.45 (below 67.49 pivot). Conservative: partial stop 68.00, full stop 67.45.
4) VICR
– Key supports: 73.00; 72.50; 71.50.
– Key resistances: 74.50; 75.50–76.00; 78.00 (thin-print spike).
– 2–3 day price action view: Higher probability push if it bases above 73.00–73.50, then reclaims 74.50. If it wicks above 74.50 and fails, expect a 73.00 retest.
– Targets (1–3 day): 74.90–75.20, 76.00, 77.50.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 73.10–73.40.
– Breakout >74.60 with confirmation (avoid thin AH).
– Stop-loss: 72.40 (beneath 72.50 support).
5) IDCC
– Key supports: 372.00; 371.00; 370.32.
– Key resistances: 373.13 (HOD); 375.00; 377.00.
– 2–3 day price action view: Trend-up day that held gains. Look for a tight bull flag above 371–372 and continuation through 373. If it loses 371, expect a dip into 370.30 demand before buyers try again.
– Targets (1–3 day): 374.50, 376.50, 378.00.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 371.20–371.60.
– Breakout >373.20.
– Stop-loss: 370.20 (beneath intraday demand).
6) BOOT
– Key supports: 191.15; 190.71; 190.35.
– Key resistances: 191.95–192.00; 192.50; 194.10.
– 2–3 day price action view: Reclaimed and closed strong. Expect a test of 192.00–192.50; if accepted, 193.40 then 194.10 is feasible. Failure back below 190.70 would likely reset momentum.
– Targets (1–3 day): 192.50, 193.40, 194.10.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 190.90–191.20.
– Breakout >192.55 on volume.
– Stop-loss: 190.20 (below day’s demand).
Speculative watch (higher risk/smaller size)
– ONCO: Supports 3.60, 3.50, 3.45; Resistances 3.71, 3.80, 3.95. Idea: buy 3.56–3.60, stop 3.44, targets 3.80/3.95.
– IMNM: Supports 16.74–16.83, 16.50, 16.40; Resistances 16.90, 17.00, 17.40. Idea: buy 16.75–16.85 or >17.00, stop 16.50, targets 17.10/17.40.
Notes
– Several tickers include after-hours prints; prioritize confirmations during regular hours.
– Without the last 10–30 daily candles, ATR-based targets are approximated from today’s intraday ranges; refine with your daily ATR before sizing.
