January 14, 2026 5 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range covered)
– Data analyzed: intraday 30-minute bars from 2026-01-14 09:30–13:00 EST (most tickers 10:30–13:00). Only this window was provided; 30-day context is therefore inferred primarily from today’s price/volume behavior and relative strength.

Sector/industry takeaways from today’s tape
– Semiconductors/Chip ecosystem: Highly dispersed. SYNA exploded higher (+~8% from 85.5 to 92.4) on heavy volume, VICR stair-stepped up, while TXN, ONTO, NXPI faded intraday. Read-through: selective strength in mid-cap chip/silicon-enabling names (SYNA, VICR) while large-cap semis digest (TXN, NXPI) and wafer/inspection (ONTO) saw supply.
– Software/IT services: ACN bid with higher highs into 289.7; OKTA trended lower after an early pop. Net: quality IT services (ACN) outperform high-beta security software (OKTA) today.
– Industrials/Aero-Defense/Transports: TDG in a steady grind to new session highs; AVAV strong early then faded but held higher ground; KTOS choppy; FDX net-flat; WSO slid. Net: premium aero/defense (TDG) shows steady accumulation; broader industrials mixed.
– Consumer: LOW pushed to session highs and held a tight, bullish consolidation; PM stair-stepped to HOD close. OLPX weak; CWH cooled after a fast pop. Net: rotation into quality consumer (LOW, PM) with defensives bid.
– Energy/Materials: FANG stable; SLB faded from a morning pop; uranium DNN saw big volume but little follow-through; WLK bid up; ALB leaked lower; RS flat. Net: chemicals (WLK) showed relative strength; energy services mixed; battery/alt-energy EOSE saw strong range/volume with dip-buys returning late.
– Healthcare/Bio: BDX stable; TMO eased; NTRA faded; smaller-cap biotech mostly flat (GLUE, TYRA, STTK), with LTBR (nuclear-tech) volatile but indecisive. Net: large-cap tools soft (TMO), medtech steadier (BDX).

Notable intraday momentum and volume patterns
– Strong upside momentum with elevated volume: SYNA, TDG, LOW, PM, VICR, EOSE, ATLX, WLK.
– High-volatility movers: ROLR (parabolic ranges), EOSE (thick tape).
– Weak/lagging today within their groups: ONTO, NXPI, TXN (chips), OKTA (software), ALB (materials), WSO (distributor).

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days, based on 30-min reads)
Likely upside continuation candidates:
– SYNA, LOW, PM, TDG, ACN, VICR, EOSE, ATLX
Strongest bullish signals today:
– SYNA (high-volume breakout, closes near HOD), TDG (controlled grind with higher lows/highs), LOW and PM (steady bid, closing strong), VICR (constructive staircase), EOSE (range expansion with buyers returning), ACN (RS vs tech), ATLX (higher highs in a micro-cap, watch liquidity).

Individual Stock Analysis and Setups
Notes:
– Supports/resistances use today’s intraday pivots, round-number psychology, and nearby supply/demand bands. With no multi-week data provided, ATR targets use today’s intraday range as a short-term ATR proxy.

1) SYNA
– Supports: 90.65–90.00 (flag base), 89.24–89.08 (midday pullback), 86.10–85.90 (breakout origin).
– Resistances: 92.38 (HOD), 94.00–95.00, 97.00.
– 2–3 day price action view: Expect a bull flag/pause between ~90.8–92.4 followed by a push into 93–95. Continuation strength if volume stays above midday pace; dips that hold 90–90.7 keep the pattern intact.
– 1–3 day targets (ATR-proxy from today’s range ~7.26): T1 93.00, T2 95.00, T3 96.50–97.00.
– Entries: Pullback buy 90.8–91.2; momentum add on 92.40–92.60 breakout/hold.
– Stops: Tight 90.00; swing 89.40 (below flag shelf).

2) LOW
– Supports: 276.50–276.20 (midday shelf), 275.00 (round), 274.83 (session low).
– Resistances: 278.10 (HOD), 279.50, 281.00.
– 2–3 day price action view: Base above 276.2, then a measured break over 278.1 targeting high-279s/low-281s. Pullbacks likely shallow if consumer strength persists.
– 1–3 day targets (range ~3.27): T1 278.90, T2 280.50, T3 281.50.
– Entries: 276.3–276.6 on dips; breakout through 278.2 with hold.
– Stops: Tight 275.70; swing 274.70.

3) PM
– Supports: 170.20–170.10 (intraday shelf), 169.91–169.82, 169.00.
– Resistances: 170.80 (HOD), 171.60, 172.50–173.00.
– 2–3 day price action view: Momentum close favors a quick test of 171.6; above that, a push toward 172.5–173 if defensives stay bid. Risk is a gap-then-fade; want holds above 170.1 on dips.
– 1–3 day targets (range ~1.80): T1 171.60, T2 172.40, T3 173.00.
– Entries: 170.15–170.35 retest; breakout add >170.85 with acceptance.
– Stops: Tight 169.50; swing 168.90.

– Resistances: 1405.20 (HOD), 1410, 1415.
– 2–3 day price action view: Controlled trend suggests incremental higher highs; look for a brief inside phase then continuation toward 1410–1415. Pullbacks that hold 1399–1402 keep the trend intact.

– Resistances: 289.70 (HOD), 291.00, 293.00.
– 2–3 day price action view: RS within tech favors a grind into 291–293 after a tight flag above ~288.8. Dips to 288–288.2 should find demand if trend intact.
– 1–3 day targets (range ~3.12): T1 291.00, T2 292.20, T3 293.50.
– Entries: 288.8–289.3 on pullbacks; breakout >289.8 with follow-through.

Context and risk notes
– The provided dataset covers a few hours intraday today; multi-week supports/resistances and formal ATRs were not included. Targets use today’s range as a short-term ATR proxy; adjust if broader 10–30 day ranges materially differ.
– If the broader market gaps against the setups, wait for reclaim/acceptance back above the listed supports before entering.
– Position size and stops should reflect each ticker’s liquidity and volatility (e.g., EOSE, SYNA > VICR, LOW > PM).
