January 28, 2026 6 min read

Datetime range analyzed (EST)
– 2026-01-28, 13:00–15:00 (30-minute bars) for all tickers provided
– Plus limited ABLV prints on 2026-01-27/28
Note: You asked for 30-day/10-day context; only intraday snapshots were provided, so the analysis emphasizes the most recent 30-minute structure and volume. Use your platform’s daily chart/ATR to validate levels.

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Semiconductors and hardware led the afternoon: MU, WDC, RMBS, SNDK, MPWR, MTSI, JBL all pushed higher into the final hour with higher highs and strong 14:30–15:00 volumes. RMBS and MU closed near highs; WDC reclaimed the midday dip. This is classic late-session risk-on in chips and memory.
– Industrial/Engineering constructive: EME trended cleanly higher all afternoon with higher highs and a strong close; MLM recovered back over 650 late; IEX and DE were steady to slightly higher, showing bids but not explosive momentum.
– Energy mixed: TRGP ground higher and held 200; EGY chopped in a tight 4.85–4.89 band; GPOR was range-bound. No broad energy breakout in the provided window.
– Precious metals/miners mixed: SII pushed to new session highs; CMCL faded intraday—rotation appeared toward the manager (SII) rather than the miner (CMCL).
– Healthcare/biotech and small caps: ADAG expanded range with a late spike to 2.86 and strong close near highs; ELUT climbed steadily; VANI and MSGM were flat-to-sideways. Liquidity varies—momentum is present but selective.
– Consumer/travel and brokers: RCL remained range-bound; XP faded across the window.
Key takeaways: Momentum concentrated in semis/hardware and selective industrials; several tickers printed strong closes with expanding volume in the 14:30–15:00 bar (MU, WDC, RMBS, SNDK, EME, SOLS), a favorable setup for 1–3 day continuation if they hold key supports off the open.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to push higher: MU, WDC, RMBS, SNDK, EME, SOLS, ADAG
Strongest bullish signals

– WDC: Reclaimed the midday selloff and closed strong; solid participation.
– SNDK: Broad range expansion, strong push 14:30–15:00, and firm close.
– EME: Trend day characteristics; close at/near HOD.
– SOLS: Stair-step higher highs with broad participation across bars.
– ADAG: Small-cap momentum spike late; held gains into the close.

Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Support/resistance derived from the provided 30-minute session and round-number supply/demand magnets. For ATR-based targets, calibrate with your 14-day ATR; I provide conservative extensions based on the day’s structure and round levels.

1) MU
– Supports: 434.10; 429.37; 428.61
– Resistances/Supply: 438.73 (HOD); 440.00; 445.00 (extension)
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): If price holds above 434–435 on the open, look for continuation through 438.7/440. A clean 30-min close above 440 sets up momentum follow-through toward mid-440s.
– Price targets:
– Near-term: 440.0; 443.0
– Stretch/ATR-extended: 445–450 if a trend day follows
– Entry: Prefer pullback buys 434.5–435.5, or breakout add above 438.8–439.2 on volume.
– Stop: 431.9 (beneath 13:30–14:30 demand); tighter traders can use 433.4 under VWAP pullback.

– Resistances/Supply: 284.00; 286.50; 290.00 (extension)
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Strong reclaim. Above 282.8–283.2, look for 284 test and continuation toward 286s; acceptance >286.5 opens 289–290.
– Price targets:
– Near-term: 284.0; 286.5
– Stretch/ATR-extended: 289–290
– Entry: Pullback buy 281.8–282.5; add-on through 284.1 with volume confirmation.

– Resistances/Supply: 124.83 (HOD/close); 125.00; 126.50
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Closing at highs favors a morning flag/continuation. Above 124.9–125.0, look for 126s; failure to hold 123 risks a deeper pullback toward 122.3.

– Near-term: 125.0; 126.0–126.5
– Stretch/ATR-extended: 128.0 on a strong risk-on day

– Price targets:
– Near-term: 529.2; 532.0
– Stretch/ATR-extended: 536–538
– Entry: Buy dips 526.5–527.2; breakout add above 529.3 with expanding volume.

7) ADAG
– Supports: 2.69; 2.60–2.58; 2.50
– Resistances/Supply: 2.8565 (HOD); 3.00; 3.20
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Late-day momentum spike with a strong close suggests a continuation attempt. Volatility and liquidity risk are high—expect shakeouts toward 2.60 before a reattempt at 2.86/3.00.
– Price targets:
– Near-term: 2.86; 3.00
– Stretch/ATR-extended: 3.15–3.20 on a squeeze
– Entry: Partial starter near 2.62–2.68 on light pullback; momentum add above 2.86 with strong tape.
– Stop: 2.49 (below psychological 2.50 and afternoon higher-low region).

Risk management and execution notes
– Use your 14-day ATR to refine stretch targets. The “stretch” levels above are conservative extensions anchored to session structure and round-number supply zones; replace with ATR± calculations on your daily chart for precision.
– For continuation plays, prioritize: premarket hold above prior afternoon VWAP/base, strong first 60 minutes volume, and 30-min closes above prior day’s HOD zone.
– If the open fails the first listed support, expect a 1–2 bar backfill to the next support before any continuation attempt.

Sectors to deprioritize short-term longs from this list
– Names that faded or stayed heavy in the window (XP, CMCL, KRRO) unless they reclaim VWAP and base over the prior 30-min lower high.

If you want, share your daily charts/ATR values and I’ll tighten the targets and risk boxes around the true 10–30 day structures.
