Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range analyzed: 2025-11-26 09:30–12:00)
Note: The data provided is intraday 30-minute bars for the morning of 2025-11-26. I’m emphasizing today’s price/volume leadership and relative strength/weakness across sectors, with 1–5 day momentum implications.
- Healthcare/Biotech (ALNY, EXAS, UNCY, MRSN): Small/mid-cap biotech led on momentum and relative volume. UNCY broke out and held gains into midday; ALNY trended higher early then based near 442; EXAS stayed tightly range-bound near 101.55; MRSN illiquid and flat. Takeaway: Stock-picking market within Healthcare—speculative/momentum names (UNCY) strongest, large-caps mixed (ALNY constructive, EXAS stagnant).
- Communications/Infrastructure (CCOI): Clear momentum leadership. Trend up from 18.37 to 19.44 with range expansion and persistent higher lows. This group looks bid for continuation.
- Consumer Defensive (HLF, COKE): Strong day. HLF broke out on heavy volume from 12.5s to 13.2s; COKE steady trend to 165s. Defensive momentum and short-interest themes benefiting HLF.
- Financials (EVR, FDS, MCO): Mixed to firm. EVR grinded higher toward 320; FDS and MCO compressed in tight ranges—supportive but not momentum leaders.
- Consumer Cyclical/Discretionary (EAT, BKNG, GPI, FIGS, REBN): Mixed. Restaurants split—EAT faded from early pop while micro-cap REBN trended up; FIGS showed steady bid toward 9.85–9.90; BKNG churned; GPI faded. Selective long setups (FIGS) over broad sector strength.
- Industrials/Transport (SAIA): Choppy, no clear trend.
- Micro-cap momentum (SFHG, REBN, VELO): Intraday spikes with follow-through (REBN, SFHG, VELO). Liquidity risk is high; momentum favorable but trade smaller and tighter risk.
Notable intraday patterns:
– Persistent trend days: CCOI, HLF, UNCY, COKE.
– Compression/base building: ALNY (441–444), FIGS (9.70–9.90).
– Weakness/distribution: CRCD lower highs/lows from 55.6 to 53.9; GPI drip lower; SAIA indecisive.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to go up (momentum/continuation candidates):
– Strongest bullish signals: HLF, CCOI, UNCY
– Also constructive: FIGS, ALNY, COKE
Neutral/monitor: EVR (slow grind), VELO (momentum but thin), REBN/SFHG (micro-cap spikes; trade with caution)
Weak/avoid long until reversal: CRCD, GPI, SAIA

Additional quick notes on others (context only)
– EVR: Constructive grind higher; not a high-beta mover—consider buy-the-dip above 319 for swing to 321–323.
– CRCD: Weak intraday trend; avoid long until it reclaims 55.00.
– SAIA: Choppy; needs a close above 284 to shift momentum.
– BKNG, FDS, MCO, EXAS: Tight mid-morning ranges—momentum traders may wait for range breaks.
– Micro-caps VELO, REBN, SFHG: Active but thin; momentum tradable with smaller size and hard stops under intraday bases.
Risk management
– Size down on thin/micro-caps (UNCY, VELO, REBN, SFHG).
– Use bracketed orders around breakout levels; don’t chase extended candles.
– If key support breaks on a closing 30-min basis, step aside and reassess.
This plan focuses on short-term momentum for 1–3 day swings grounded in this morning’s price/volume leadership.
