Overall Sector and Industry Analysis:
– Semis/storage/software (QCOM, ADI, NXPI, WDC, STX, NTAP, PSTG, CDNS, NOW, PLTR, FLEX, MKSI, CFLT): Broad tech tape leaned constructive. Leaders were the data/storage cohort (PSTG grinding higher; WDC and STX with morning range expansions and controlled mid-day pullbacks). Large-cap semis (QCOM) pressed to session highs with steady bids. Flow suggests dip-buyers active on shallow pullbacks and breakouts getting follow-through.
– Industrials/capital goods (WCC, MTZ, CMI, GWW, VMI, RS, CSL, AIT, LECO, PRIM): Mixed but stable. Many printed higher-lows intraday and tight ranges. RS and MTZ edged up; GWW/LECO/CSL/AIT held constructive consolidations. Not acceleration leaders, but accumulation tone.
– Financials (AXP, COF, FCNCA, MSBI + Argentina banks BBAR, BMA, SUPV): Money-center/credit (AXP, COF) stair-stepped up with higher highs; regionals modest; Argentine ADRs (BBAR/BMA/SUPV) showed steady bids and orderly pullbacks—risk-on for EM financials.
– Discretionary/travel (BKNG, EXPE, ROST, PLAY, HD, CASY): BKNG/EXPE trended higher; ROST tight; HD softened midday; PLAY faded after an opening push. Travel OTAs the relative strength pocket.
– Airlines (ALK): Sold early, bounce attempts faded—lagging within consumer cyclicals.
– Metals/materials (NUE, STLD, PKG, OEC): Mostly range-bound to slightly up; steel (NUE/STLD) held levels without momentum.
– Space/communications momentum (RKLB, ASTS) and “new-space” adjacencies (RKLX): Notable relative strength and explosive volume—classic momentum profiles with range expansion and pullback-to-higher-low behavior.
– Energy/utilities EM (CEPU): Mildly soft midday; not a focus for momentum longs today.
Noticeable intraday patterns:
– Momentum expansions with follow-through: RKLB, ASTS, STX, WDC, PSTG, FLEX, QCOM, EXPE.
– Constructive stair-steps: AXP, COF, NTAP, RS, MTZ.
– Fades/underperformance: ALK, HD, PLAY, CASY drifted post-open.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days):
– Most likely upside continuation candidates: PSTG, FLEX, STX, WDC, QCOM, RKLB, ASTS, EXPE.
– Strongest bullish signals (range expansion + volume + constructive pullbacks): RKLB, ASTS, STX, PSTG.
– Secondary but constructive: WDC, QCOM, FLEX, EXPE.

Risk management and execution notes:
– Favor pullback entries near first support with stops just below the second support.
– For breakouts, require expanding 30-min volume and hold above the breakout level into the next bar.
– Size down on the higher-volatility momentum names (RKLB, ASTS); their intraday ATRs are large.
– If the market backdrop turns risk-off, prioritize the steadier trenders (PSTG, QCOM, WDC, FLEX) over the high-beta rockets.
If you want, send the last 30 trading days’ daily OHLCV for these names and I’ll refine the daily supply/demand levels and ATR-based targets more precisely.
