Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed: 2025-12-17, roughly 11:00–14:00 EST)
Note: You provided only today’s 30-minute intraday bars. I’ll base short-term momentum read on the 30‑minute action and intraday levels. For a true 30‑day/10‑day daily-candle read, share that window and I’ll refine the levels/ATR.
- Financials/Insurance broadly mixed-to-soft:
- Insurers/reinsurance and brokers (AIZ, RGA, ERIE, EG, AON) were generally flat to slightly higher (AIZ bid, RGA firm late), while AON/ERIE/EG stayed muted. SPGI held steady around 509–510, MSCI hovered 558–560.
- Takeaway: stable but not leading; selective strength in AIZ/RGA/SPGI, caution on AON/ERIE/EG.
- Hotels/Lodging: HLT and MAR churned and slightly faded intraday; no obvious momentum edge today.
- Metals/Materials/Industrial: RS showed relative strength pushing 299.6 before consolidating; ATI trended lower (pressure into 107s). AVY steady-to-firm around 184.
- Tech/Software/Services: ADBE drifted slightly lower; SPGI steady; MSCI range-bound.
- Biotech/Healthcare: UTHR, MRNA, PRAX and CHE leaned bearish (PRAX heavy selloff from mid-270s to 266). SAIC (IT services/government integrator) attempted a breakout to 103.5 and then pulled back constructively.
- Precious metals proxy: AGQ faded from 146s to 143s—risk-off in the metals tape during the observed window.
- Small-cap momentum pockets: KLRS trended strongly (9.50 → 10.98), AXGN stair-stepped higher to 31.19. ICG/UXIN mild upticks; DIBS drifted lower; RERE faded.
Notable intraday patterns:
– Rotation into selective small-cap momentum (KLRS, AXGN).
– Large-caps mostly consolidating; RS stands out in industrials; SPGI steady bid; AIZ grinding higher.
– Metals mixed (RS up, ATI down); precious-metals ETF AGQ pulled back.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation candidates:
– KLRS (small-cap momentum continuation)
– AXGN (steady higher highs/higher lows intraday)
– RS (bid near 300; potential breakout continuation)
– NXST (gradual grind up; higher highs to 206.6)
– SAIC (constructive pullback after a breakout attempt)
– SPGI (steady bid; potential drift higher if 510–511 holds)
Strongest bullish signals today: KLRS, AXGN, RS.
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing setups)
Note: Levels derived from the intraday ranges you provided; use as tactical zones. Size positions appropriately; stops should be honored.
1) KLRS
– Support levels: 10.72; 10.28–10.30 zone; 9.87–9.72 base.
– Resistance levels: 10.98 (session high); 11.20; 11.50.
– 30-minute outlook (next 2–3 days): Momentum continuation favored while holding above ~10.70–10.75. Expect dips to be bought; a clean push through 10.98 can accelerate toward low 11s.
– Price targets (1–3 day): 11.00–11.05 (T1); 11.20–11.30 (T2); 11.50–11.70 (T3 stretch).

– Stop-loss: 10.28 (tighter); 9.87 (swing).
2) AXGN

– Resistance levels: 31.12; 31.18–31.19; 31.50.
– 30-minute outlook (next 2–3 days): Constructive stair-step; holding 30.80–30.95 should invite a retest of 31.18–31.19 and possibly a push to mid-31s.
– Price targets (1–3 day): 31.20 (T1); 31.50 (T2); 31.90 (T3 stretch).

– Stop-loss: 507.40 (beneath intraday low); adjust if 509 becomes support.
Quick notes on names to avoid/monitor for weakness near term
– Clear intraday pressure: PRAX, MRNA, ATI, AGQ, NFE, COLD, RERE, DIBS, UTHR, ERIE, CHE. These either sold off or failed to hold rebounds; any longs should wait for basing/reclaim signals.
If you can provide the last 30 daily candles (with volume) for these tickers, I’ll refine the levels with higher-confidence daily supply/demand zones and ATR-based targets.
