Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed: 2025-12-23 15:30 through 2025-12-24 11:00)
Note: You provided intraday 30-minute bars for the last 1–2 sessions rather than a full 30-day history. The commentary below emphasizes the most recent action (especially the last 10 trading days context where inferable) and what it signals for the next 1–5 days, with an emphasis on the last 10 days via the latest momentum and volume footprints.
- Financials leading and broadening: GS, AMP, TRV all stair-stepped higher into the 12/24 mid-morning, printing higher highs and closing each 30-min bar near the highs with orderly pullbacks. GS pressed 907+, AMP cleared 504 and held, TRV pushed 294. This rotation suggests continued near-term follow-through in large-cap financials.
- Industrials constructive: URI marched to 826+, reclaiming morning highs; GPI and LAD in auto retail posted strong morning expansions with higher lows into late morning; URI’s tight range near highs implies demand absorption. This supports an ongoing cyclical bid.
- Consumer Discretionary steady to strong: HD pushed to 347.39 and held gains; HLT edged up to 293.29; LOVE trended up with consecutive higher highs. This shows buyers stepping into quality discretionary, with selective small-cap volatility (e.g., TGL spike/fade).
- Tech/Software firm but selective: INTU and IT advanced with higher lows; IT closed near the morning highs. EVCM ticked up but lighter and rangy. LITE gapped up but faded—a caution for “gap-and-fade” setups within the group.
- Staples/Beauty mixed: HLF bounced toward 14.18 but ended flatish; OLPX spiked then faded—supply above 1.42 is still active.
- Specialty chemicals/materials: BCPC and AVY each advanced with constructive intraday bases; steady, low-drama accumulations typical of defensive momentum.
Notable patterns:
– Tight consolidations near session highs (GS, AMP, URI, IT, HLT) often precede 1–3 day continuation pushes.
– Gap-and-fade risk (LITE, OLPX, TGL) suggests better long entries on pullbacks to defined demand rather than chasing breakouts.
– Auto retail (GPI, LAD) shows synchronized strength—watch for follow-through if indices remain firm.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)

Individual Stock Analysis (levels from recent daily aggregate context inferred via latest intraday ranges; entries/stops rooted in visible supply/demand zones on 30-min)
1) AMP
– Supports: 503.2–503.9 (intraday demand), 501.5, 497.8
– Resistances: 504.4 (HOD supply), 506.0, 510.0
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Prefer a small dip to 503, then a push through 504.4 toward 506.5; if tape stays risk-on, extension toward 509–510.
– Price targets (1–3 day): 506.5 / 509.0 / 510.5
– Entry: 503.0–503.6 on a controlled pullback; add on 504.6 reclaim.

– Resistances: 907.2 (HOD), 910.0, 915.0

– Price targets (1–3 day): 255.3 / 256.8 / 258.0
– Entry: 252.2–253.0 on dip or 254.3 break with confirming breadth.
– Stop-loss: 249.4 (below prior day’s open region). Tighter: 251.0 for breakout add.
6) AVY
– Supports: 181.46, 181.00, 181.77 (intraday swing low; treat 181.7–181.8 as a micro-zone)
– Resistances: 182.03, 182.09, 182.5
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Range compression near highs favors a push through 182.1; expect a measured move into 182.3–182.6; stretch to 183 if risk-on persists.
– Price targets (1–3 day): 182.3 / 182.6 / 183.0
– Entry: 181.6–181.8 into demand; confirm higher low.

– Resistances: 410.49 (HOD), 412.0, 415.0
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Prefer a dip-and-rip: 406.5–408 test, then push through 410.5; continuation to 412 first, 415 stretch if auto retail stays hot (watch LAD).
– Price targets (1–3 day): 411.8 / 413.5 / 415.0
– Entry: 406.5–408.0 pullback; add on 410.6 break.

– Price targets (1–3 day): 348.5 / 349.8 / 352.0
– Entry: 345.0–345.8 pullback; breakout add above 347.6.
– Stop-loss: 342.6 (beneath prior pivot).

– Resistances: 293.29 (HOD), 294.0, 295.0
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Gentle backfill into 292.3–292.6, then grind over 293.3; upside path likely measured, consistent with hotel group behavior.

– Entry: 292.3–292.6; add on 293.4 break.

– Supports: 312.94, 311.92, 309.1–308.2
– Resistances: 313.91, 314.43 (HOD), 316.0
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Holding above 313 suggests a quick probe of 314.4–316; failure to hold 312.9 likely triggers a deeper backfill to 311.9 first.
– Price targets (1–3 day): 314.8 / 316.0 / 318.0
– Entry: 312.2–312.9 on dip and hold; add through 314.0–314.5.
– Stop-loss: 310.9 (below micro shelf).
Additional quick notes (momentum watch but not primary longs right now):
– LOVE: constructive uptrend; watch 14.78–14.83 as buy-the-dip zone; 15.00 is psychological supply.
– NTRP, OLPX, LITE, TGL: each showed spike-and-fade dynamics; treat as tactical only—prefer reclaim setups over chasing.
– HLF: basing near 14; needs a decisive 14.18+ break to unlock 14.40–14.60.
Risk management reminders for 1–3 day swings
– Use staggered entries near defined demand; size adds on confirmed breaks of supply.
– If breakouts lack volume confirmation, revert to base-building expectations and respect stops.
– Into holiday-shortened or low-liquidity sessions, give levels a bit more breathing room or reduce size.
If you can share a true 30-day OHLCV set, I’ll refine daily ATRs and widen/adjust the target ladders accordingly.
