Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range analyzed: 2025-09-24 09:30 to 13:30)
Note: The dataset provided covers intraday 30-minute bars for today only, not a 30-day history. Commentary below emphasizes the most recent 5 hours of price/volume, treating today’s realized range as a proxy for near-term ATR.
- Crypto/miners/blockchain: Strongest tape today. IREN led with higher highs/lows and heavy sustained volume into the afternoon; BTCS trended cleanly higher; CAN held a tight, constructive range; ELWS (blockchain software) stabilized after a morning dip. This cluster shows sector risk-on and makes follow-through likely if broader crypto stays bid. Tickers: IREN, BTCS, CAN, ELWS.
- Energy storage/clean energy: EOSE and STEM both pushed to session highs late, with volume expanding on pushes—classic momentum continuation characteristics. Tickers: EOSE, STEM.
- Healthcare/biotech: Mixed. AMLX stair-stepped higher and held gains; ERAS bled lower mid-day; NVNO drifted down; HCA (hospitals) was largely range-bound. Tickers: AMLX (firm), ERAS/NVNO (soft), HCA (flat).
- Consumer discretionary/retail and services: ULTA drifted higher intraday with higher lows; WTW flat and illiquid mid-day. Tickers: ULTA (solid), WTW (muted).
- Materials/mining: CDE (silver) faded; NB based and bounced strongly late—better relative strength vs. CDE. Tickers: CDE (weak), NB (improving).
- Energy/shipping: IMPP mostly sideways. Ticker: IMPP (neutral).
- Micro-caps/illiquid: OMH, XOS, SPCB saw thin volume and/or chop—not ideal for 1–3 day momentum setups.
Notable patterns
- Strong, broad crypto tape: IREN, BTCS outperformed with clean intraday trend structure.
- Energy storage rotation: EOSE and STEM broke higher with volume increasing on green bars—often a precursor to 1–3 day continuation.
- Mixed healthcare: stock-picking required; AMLX stands out.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to continue up:
- IREN (strongest momentum/volume)
- EOSE (breakout behavior + volume)
- STEM (range expansion + higher highs)
- BTCS (steady trend + crypto tailwind)
- AMLX (orderly grind up; higher lows)
- NB (late day reversal with volume; potential continuation)
Strongest bullish signals today: IREN, EOSE, STEM.
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing plans)
Using today’s intraday range as a short-term ATR proxy. Levels are drawn from the session’s visible pivots and obvious round-number zones.
1) IREN
- Why: Higher highs/lows all afternoon on strong volume; sector leader in crypto.
- Support: 48.24, 47.59, 46.48
- Resistance: 48.90 (HOD), 49.50, 50.00
- 30-min outlook: Look for a dip toward 48.2–48.5 to hold, then a push through 48.9; momentum continuation toward 49.5–50 if crypto stays firm.
- Entry: 48.20–48.50 (on pullback/VWAP hold)
- Stop: 47.50 (below S2 and prior higher low)
- Targets (1–3 days): 49.50 (T1), 50.00 (T2), 50.90 (stretch; ~1x today’s realized range above a 48.9 break)
2) EOSE
- Why: Afternoon breakout with expanding volume; strong close near highs.
- Support: 11.10–11.12, 10.97, 10.69
- Resistance: 11.35 (HOD), 11.50, 12.00
- 30-min outlook: Expect a retest of 11.10–11.20; a higher low there favors a break back through 11.35 toward 11.50+.
- Entry: 11.05–11.15
- Stop: 10.85 (below S1/S2 cluster)
- Targets (1–3 days): 11.40 (T1 near prior push), 11.75 (T2 ~0.5–0.6 of today’s range), 12.05 (stretch/round)
3) STEM
- Why: Range expansion day; higher highs late, energy storage cohort bid.
- Support: 22.59, 22.15, 21.97
- Resistance: 22.90 (HOD), 23.00, 23.30
- 30-min outlook: Buy higher low above 22.2–22.4; a clean reclaim of 22.9/23 opens 23.3.
- Entry: 22.20–22.40
- Stop: 21.95 (below S3 and prior 30-min swing)
- Targets (1–3 days): 22.90 (T1), 23.30 (T2), 23.70 (stretch; ~today’s realized range extension)
4) BTCS
- Why: Steady, orderly uptrend into the afternoon; crypto group strength.
- Support: 4.815, 4.75, 4.70
- Resistance: 4.87 (HOD), 4.95, 5.00
- 30-min outlook: Favor a shallow pullback to 4.80–4.83; a break/hold above 4.87 targets 4.95–5.00.
- Entry: 4.80–4.83
- Stop: 4.74 (below S2 and intraday base)
- Targets (1–3 days): 4.95 (T1), 5.00–5.05 (T2), 5.20 (stretch if momentum accelerates)
5) AMLX
- Why: Steady grind higher, multiple successful dips bought; healthcare mixed but this is a relative-strength long.
- Support: 13.80, 13.75, 13.70
- Resistance: 14.02 (HOD), 14.20, 14.50
- 30-min outlook: Expect a consolidation under 14; a push through 14.02 can magnet 14.20.
- Entry: 13.85–13.92
- Stop: 13.74 (below S2)
- Targets (1–3 days): 14.05 (T1), 14.20 (T2), 14.45–14.50 (stretch)
6) NB
- Why: Intraday reversal from 6.12 with strong late push; potential continuation if materials firm up.
- Support: 6.42, 6.16, 6.12
- Resistance: 6.50, 6.60, 6.80
- 30-min outlook: Buy a higher low against 6.35–6.42; a clean break/hold over 6.50 favors 6.60–6.80.
- Entry: 6.35–6.42
- Stop: 6.18 (below S2/S3 zone)
- Targets (1–3 days): 6.60 (T1), 6.80 (T2), 7.00 (stretch/round)
Additional notes
- ULTA: constructive uptrend but slower tape; can be added on dips to 531–532 for a 533–535 test; institutional name with wider stops.
- Avoid for now or use smaller size: ERAS (weak), CDE (metals soft), SPCB/OMH/XOS (thin), IMPP/WTW/HCA (range-bound), NVNO (downtrend intraday), CAN (needs fresh momentum above 0.85–0.86).
Risk management
- Size positions relative to realized daily range: wider movers (IREN, EOSE, STEM) warrant smaller size and wider stops; slower names (AMLX) allow tighter risk.
- If the next open gaps beyond planned entries, wait for a first 30–60 min higher low to form rather than chasing breakouts.
