Continuation Breakout Wednesday 2PM 10/29/2025

October 29, 2025 4 min read

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (Eastern Time window used: 2025-10-29, 12:00–14:00 ET; emphasis on the most recent 10 days of momentum characteristics inferred from this intraday window)
– Semiconductors and equipment: Mixed breadth. Storage and select optics showed relative strength: WDC trended up into the close with rising prints; COHR reclaimed morning losses and closed near the session highs. Process tools were flat-to-soft (KLAC churned; LRCX range-bound; MPWR faded; LITE weak). Small-cap semi AXTI had an early push then cooled, suggesting rotation within the group.
– Industrials/electrification: Stronger. ETN continued a steady staircase higher intraday, RS held bids, while TT and ROK cooled off late session after mid-day strength. Electrical contractors mixed (EME slipped late; POWL choppy).
– Financials: Soft-to-neutral tape. Money-center and bulge-bracket leaned down or flat (JPM, GS, AXP). Diversified wealth names fared better (AMP firm; LPLA steady). FCNCA illiquid.
– Energy: Mixed to weak. HAL range-bound to slightly lower; TPL bled; TGS faded after an early pop. No broad momentum bid in the complex.
– Healthcare/Biotech: Pockets of momentum. AVDL ground higher with steady buying; ACIU continued a breakout day; TNGX coiled with higher lows; NTRA stalled and VRTX faded.
– Consumer/Platforms: MELI bid and closing firm; SPOT drifted; WSM, DKS, BOOT softened. PLTR choppy and capped; FUTU tight.
Key takeaways: Rotation favored select industrials (ETN), storage (WDC), and a few healthcare/small-cap biotech momentum names (AVDL/ACIU). Broader financials and energy lacked sponsorship. Within semis, storage/optics outperformed equipment.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Most likely to rise: WDC, ETN, ITRI, MELI, COHR, AVDL.
– Strongest bullish signals today:
– WDC: Higher highs/higher lows into the close and strong finish near session high.
– ETN: Persistent grind higher with higher intraday highs; buyers in control.
– ITRI: Steady bid and close at highs.
– MELI: Trend up all session; closed strong.
– COHR: Reclaim and hold above midday VWAP with push into late-day highs.
– AVDL: Accumulation vibe with repeated dips bought and a firm close.

Individual Stock Analysis and Trade Plans
Note: Daily support/resistance zones are derived from visible supply/demand clustering and nearby round-number magnets given the intraday window provided. Use them as provisional levels; refine with your daily chart.

1) WDC
– Support: 142.00; 141.00; 139.50–139.00 zone

– 30-min price action outlook (2–3 days): Expect an early push toward 143.5–144.2, a backtest into 142.1–142.3, then a continuation attempt. Above 143.8 opens 144.8 then 146.2 over 1–3 days if volume confirms.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 144.8; 146.2; stretch 147.5
– Entry: 142.10–142.40 pullback; secondary add on 141.10–141.30 if tested and reclaimed

Additional quick notes on notable movers
– ACIU: Momentum biotech with expanding range; watch 3.95–4.00 for continuation; support 3.80/3.73. High risk/reward.
– AXTI: Early pop then fade; needs 7.24 reclaim for continuation; support 7.02/6.90.
– PTIR: Intraday trend intact; over 37.12 opens 37.50–37.80; support 36.90/36.55.
– COHR/LITE divergence: Favor COHR long; avoid LITE until it reclaims 212.5.

Risk management and execution
– Stagger entries: Start with 1/2–2/3 size at support, add on confirmations or pullbacks that hold.
– Respect invalidation: If the first listed support fails on expanding volume, step aside and reassess at the next demand zone.
– Timeframe alignment: If the first 60–90 minutes do not confirm higher lows for the longs above, keep positions smaller or wait for end-of-day confirmations.

If you want me to refine daily support/resistance using full 30-day daily candles and true ATRs, send the daily OHLCV slice and I’ll tighten the levels and targets.
