Datetime window analyzed (EST): 2026-02-04 from 10:30 to 13:00. Note: Only this intraday slice was provided. Without the last 30 trading days (and the last 10-day emphasis) of daily candles and volume, the broader lookback is constrained. The commentary below focuses on intraday relative strength/weakness and actionable 1–3 day momentum setups inferred from the 30-minute prints you shared.
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis:
– Industrials and construction-equipment/broad distributors: Mixed-to-weak. URI and DE faded from morning highs; WSO slipped; NPO soft. One notable relative-strength outlier was LECO grinding higher and holding near session highs.
– Consumer Discretionary/Retail: Weak. HD rolled over mid-day; AZO bled lower the entire window.
– Financials/Insurance and brokers: Mixed. AON bid steadily and closed strong within the window, while CB and ERIE faded. HIFS ramped but is thin and choppy.
– Health Care/Biotech: Constructive. AMGN stair-stepped higher and held gains; BIIB pushed to new intraday highs late; VRTX lagged/soft.
– Materials/Chemicals/Gases: LIN was firm and tightly ranged (basing feel).
– Communication Services: CHTR trended up all window; TSQ held gains (thin).
– Energy/Offshore drilling: RIG showed steady accumulation, higher lows and persistent volume.
– Microcaps/thin names: CLPS, HLP, SETH, TSQ, CONI showed event-driven or illiquid behavior—treat with caution.
Notable patterns:
– Relative strength rotation into defensives (large-cap biotech AMGN/BIIB; insurance AON) and select industrial quality (LECO), while consumer heavyweights (HD, AZO) and capex cyclicals (DE, URI) eased.
– Accumulation footprints: AMGN, CHTR, AON, LECO, RIG (persistent bids, higher lows, closes near highs within the observed window).
– Distribution footprints: IDCC rug-pull into the last bar; DE/URI mid-day fade; HD/AZO consistent lower highs.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days, momentum bias):
– Most likely to push higher: AMGN, CHTR, AON, LECO, BIIB.
– Speculative/trend-continuation watch: RIG (needs crude tailwind and a clean 5.22–5.24 break).
– Strongest bullish signals from the tape you provided: AMGN (steady higher highs/higher lows with strong prints into 368.6), CHTR (trend day up), LECO (grinder holding near highs), AON (orderly bid/near-range break).

Context and risk notes:
– The above levels are derived from the provided intraday window and round-number supply/demand zones. Absent the full 30-day/10-day daily context and ATRs, targets are sized to nearby resistance and recent intraday range. If you can share the daily history (last 30 days) or ATRs, I’ll refine targets and levels around true daily supply/demand and volatility.
