Continuation Breakout Wednesday 1PM 11/19/2025

November 19, 2025 5 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis

Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-11-19 10:30–13:00. Note: Your upload contained intraday 30-minute bars for this single session; no 30-day/daily history was included. I emphasize the most recent intraday price/volume impulses as a proxy for 1–3 day momentum. If you can share the 30-day daily candles, I can refine levels against higher-timeframe supply/demand.

Sector/industry takeaways from the basket:
– Healthcare/MedTech/Biotech showing relative strength and accumulation: ISRG (surgical systems) broke out into the midday with expanding volume; CAH (distribution) stair-stepped higher; NPCE and DRUG bid with higher highs; ISPR firmed. Tickers: ISRG, CAH, NPCE, DRUG, ISPR.
– Semis/optics/electronics weak with lower highs and distribution: MKSI, LITE, MTSI trended down; TXG also faded. Tickers: MKSI, LITE, MTSI, TXG.
– Industrials/Defense mixed: FDX steady-to-firm but no expansion; PSN edged up; IESC and AGX faded intraday from early strength. Tickers: FDX, PSN, IESC, AGX.
– Consumer/Staples steady: COKE flat-to-slightly higher; ZVIA continued a controlled stair-step higher with improving intraday range. Tickers: COKE, ZVIA.
– Growth proxy (IWF) softened through midday (lower highs, fades on pops). That points to a short-term rotation into healthcare and selective defensives while high-beta tech underperformed.

Noticeable patterns:
– Momentum continuation candidates printed late-morning/early-afternoon breakouts on rising 30-minute volume with tight pullbacks (ISRG, CAH, CRCD, CONI, CORD).
– Underperforming tech hardware/optics (LITE, MKSI, MTSI) showed persistent supply near intraday VWAP and failed bounces—likely push-pull if the market opens soft again.
– Small/mid-cap healthcare names with expanding ranges (NPCE, DRUG) often see 1–2 more sessions of follow-through when the first breakout bar closes near highs.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)

Most likely to go up (ranked by quality of signal): ISRG, CAH, CRCD, CONI, CORD, DRUG, NPCE. Aggressive/speculative add: ZVIA.

Strongest bullish signals: ISRG (high-volume breakout into the close of the analyzed window), CAH (orderly uptrend with higher lows), CRCD (afternoon push to highs), CONI (trend day with shallow dips).

Individual Stock Analysis (levels, entries, stops, targets, 30-minute path)

Note on levels/targets: With no 30-day daily candles in the upload, support/resistance and ATR-style targets are derived from today’s intraday H/L, inflection clusters, and round-number magnets. ATR references use today’s realized range as a proxy.

1) ISRG
– Key supports: 560.90 (12:30 breakout pivot), 555.40 (12:00 close), 552.30 (session low).
– Key resistances: 562.93 (HOD), 565.00, 570.00.
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days): Expect an early dip buy attempt toward 560–561; if buyers hold above 560, look for a push through 563–565, then a grind into 567–570 by day 2. A fail back below 555.5 likely delays the move.
– Entries: 560.5–561.5 pullback, or momentum add on a 30-min close above 563.0 with rising volume.
– Stops: 555.2 (tight), or 551.9 (looser, below session low).
– Swing targets: 565.5, 568.5 (≈0.5x today’s range), 573–575 (≈1.0x extension if breadth cooperates).

2) CAH
– Key supports: 208.16, 207.58, 206.60.
– Key resistances: 208.57 (HOD), 209.00, 210.00.
– 30-minute outlook: Constructive above 207.6–208. Early test of 208 that holds should set 208.9–209.3, then 210 by day 2. Below 207.5 likely retests 206.6 before rebidding.
– Entries: 207.8–208.2 on controlled dip; momentum add on 208.6–208.7 reclaim with volume.
– Stops: 207.4 (tight), or 206.5 (looser, below day’s base).
– Swing targets: 208.9–209.3, 210.0, 210.8–211.0.

3) CRCD
– Key supports: 57.17, 56.69, 55.62.
– Key resistances: 57.76–57.77 (HOD band), 58.00, 58.50.
– 30-minute outlook: Momentum continuation favored if price bases above 57.0–57.2. Expect a tag of 58.0 and potentially 58.5 within 1–2 days. Loss of 56.7 likely backfills to 56.2–56.0 demand.
– Entries: 56.9–57.2 pullback; breakout add above 57.80 on volume.
– Stops: 56.15 (tight), or 55.55 (looser, below session low).
– Swing targets: 58.00, 58.50, 59.20 (full-range extension).

4) CONI
– Key supports: 61.10–61.11, 60.41, 59.72.
– Key resistances: 62.00, 62.87 (HOD), 63.50.
– 30-minute outlook: Trend-day characteristics with higher lows. Above 61.1, look for 62.0 test, then 62.8–63.0. A strong tape could stretch toward 64 by day 2–3. Losing 60.4 opens 59.7 fill.
– Entries: 61.0–61.2 pullback toward VWAP; add on 62.1 reclaim with volume.
– Stops: 60.30 (tight), or 59.65 (below key swing low).
– Swing targets: 62.2–62.3, 62.9–63.0, 64.0.

5) CORD
– Key supports: 54.12, 53.32, 52.55.
– Key resistances: 54.75, 55.47 (HOD), 56.00–56.20.
– 30-minute outlook: After a broad-range morning, price is consolidating high. Continuation >54.75 targets 55.5–55.7; a deeper dip into 53.8–54.1 that holds often sets the next leg by day 2.
– Entries: 53.8–54.2 swing starter; momentum add through 54.80 with expanding volume.
– Stops: 53.05 (beneath prior base), or 52.45 (conservative).
– Swing targets: 54.75, 55.47, 56.80 (≈range extension).

6) DRUG
– Key supports: 58.16–58.10, 57.34, 57.01.
– Key resistances: 58.94 (late close pivot), 59.39 (HOD), 60.00–60.50.
– 30-minute outlook: Bullish bias if 58.1–58.2 holds on early dips. Expect 59.4 retest; a clean break can open 60.0 and 60.9 by day 2. Lose 58.1 and price likely revisits 57.3.
– Entries: 58.10–58.30 on controlled pullback; add on 59.00–59.10 break with volume.
– Stops: 57.25 (tight), or 56.95 (beneath session low).
– Swing targets: 59.40, 60.00, 60.90.

7) NPCE
– Key supports: 13.79, 13.70, 13.45.
– Key resistances: 13.98 (HOD), 14.00, 14.25.
– 30-minute outlook: Constructive flag above 13.70. Expect attempts at 13.98–14.00; through 14 opens 14.20–14.25 within 1–2 sessions. Failure back under 13.70 risks a round-trip to 13.45.
– Entries: 13.70–13.85 pullback; add on 14.00 break with volume.
– Stops: 13.55 (tight), or 13.38 (beneath morning base).
– Swing targets: 14.00, 14.20, 14.50.

8) ZVIA (aggressive/small-cap)
– Key supports: 2.495, 2.475, 2.465.
– Key resistances: 2.525 (HOD), 2.55, 2.60.
– 30-minute outlook: Stair-step higher with tight pullbacks suggests a squeeze-prone push if 2.50 holds. Clearing 2.525 can open 2.55–2.60 quickly; liquidity is a factor.
– Entries: 2.49–2.51; add on 2.53 break with volume.
– Stops: 2.46 (tight), or 2.44 (beneath session floor).
– Swing targets: 2.53, 2.56, 2.60.

Additional notes
– Market context: IWF softness implies breakouts may require selective stock-picking rather than broad beta. If the next session opens weak and tech drags, lean more on healthcare setups (ISRG, CAH) and trend-day names (CONI, CRCD).
– Names to avoid on long side near-term unless they reclaim VWAP/highs: LITE, MKSI, MTSI, TXG (persistent lower highs and supply).
– Liquidity: Some tickers in the basket showed thin prints (e.g., ISPR, VTVT). Size accordingly or avoid unless volume expands at the open.
