Market/sector tone (using SPY/QQQ/IWM as context)

• Indices: SPY and QQQ drifted higher into the close; IWM held a mild bid. Risk tone slightly bullish, led by mega-cap tech.
• Tech/Semis firm: TSM, KLAC, LRCX, ONTO held bids; COHR outperformed late; SNPS steady. Software/IT services pushed higher into the close (ACN, NET, SNOW).
• Financials stable-to-firm: JPM, GS, AXP grinded up; COF lagged; FCNCA flat. Large-cap banks still have quiet momentum.
• Industrials/materials mixed: DE, ROK modestly up; PH flat; URI range-bound. Steel modestly firm (STLD, NUE). Building products soft (BLD, IBP, BLDR).
• Homebuilders faded (DHI, LEN, PHM, TOL) — sector consolidating after strength.
• Healthcare/Biotech selective strength: ANAB broke out on rising volume; SRPT popped; ADMA firm; CRL slightly higher; VCYT eased.
• Discretionary/momentum: TSLA spiked then faded (TSLL mirrored); HOOD reclaimed highs; DLTR firm; department store M faded. Airlines weak (UAL, ULCC).
• Small-cap momentum pockets: RCAT, DC, ALGS, CEPU advanced on volume.

Notable trends/patterns

• Persistent large-cap tech bid (ACN, NET, SNOW, COHR) with closes near highs.
• Select biotech breakout behavior (ANAB) with expanding volume — a classic 1–3 day continuation setup.
• Airlines/homebuilders consolidating; building products lagging — better avoided for long momentum until breadth improves.
• Small-cap momentum names (RCAT) closed on highs with above-average volume, favoring quick continuation attempts.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to push higher:

• ACN, NET, COHR, PLTR, ANAB, RCAT

Strongest bullish signals:

• ANAB (range expansion + close near HOD)
• NET (close at HOD; steady accumulation)
• ACN (trend day, higher highs/lows into the bell)
• RCAT (small-cap momentum close at HOD with volume)
• COHR (semi strength, tight closes near highs)
• PLTR (late push to HOD with heavy liquidity)

Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day swing setups)
Note: Daily zones are proxied from today’s extremes and nearby round numbers due to data limitations. Confirm on your daily charts.

1) ACN

• Support: 270.00 (S1), 269.20 (S2), 267.80 (S3)
• Resistance: 271.30/271.50 (R1/HOD band), 273.00 (R2), 275.00 (R3)
• 30-min path view (2–3 days): Expect an early pullback to 270–270.3 to build a higher low; reclaim of 271.3 opens 272.5–273. Break-and-hold above 273 shifts targets to 274.5–275.
• 1–3 day targets: 272.5, 274.0, stretch 275.5–276.5
• Entry ideas:

– Pullback buy 270.0–270.3
– Momentum add on 271.35–271.60 break with volume > prior 30-min average

• Stop: 268.70 (beneath S2/structure); wider swing stop 267.70 if using smaller size

2) NET

• Support: 203.10 (S1), 202.60 (S2), 201.80 (S3)
• Resistance: 204.00 (R1), 205.00–205.50 (R2 zone), 206.50–208.00 (R3)
• 30-min path view (2–3 days): Healthy dip to 203–203.2 likely; if bid holds, look for a HOD break >203.8 to target 204.8–205.5. Sustained strength could extend to 206.5–207.5.
• 1–3 day targets: 204.8, 205.5, stretch 206.8–207.5
• Entry ideas:

– Pullback buy 203.10–203.40
– Breakout buy on 203.80–204.00 with rising volume

• Stop: 201.90 (below S3 and intraday base)

3) COHR

• Support: 169.10 (S1), 168.50 (S2), 167.80 (S3)
• Resistance: 170.00 (R1), 171.20 (R2), 173.00 (R3)
• 30-min path view (2–3 days): Expect tight consolidation 168.8–170.2, then a 170 reclaim and push to 171–171.5. If semis stay firm (TSM/KLAC/LRCX bid), 172.5–173 becomes viable.
• 1–3 day targets: 170.9–171.5, 172.4, stretch 173.0–173.7
• Entry ideas:

– Buy 169.20–169.40 on orderly pullback
– Add on 170.10–170.30 reclaim

• Stop: 167.90 (beneath S3 and breakdown trigger)

4) PLTR

• Support: 174.40 (S1), 173.60 (S2), 172.80 (S3)
• Resistance: 175.50 (R1), 177.00 (R2), 180.00 (R3)
• 30-min path view (2–3 days): Look for a dip to 174.6–174.9, then a push through 175.5. If momentum persists, 176.7–177.2 prints; strong tape could magnetize 179–180 in 1–3 days.
• 1–3 day targets: 176.7, 177.8, stretch 179.5–180.0
• Entry ideas:

– Pullback buy 174.60–174.90
– Breakout buy >175.55 with expanding volume

• Stop: 173.20 (below S2 pivot); wider swing stop 172.70 if sizing down

5) ANAB

• Support: 43.20 (S1), 42.60 (S2), 42.00 (S3)
• Resistance: 44.30 (R1), 45.50 (R2), 47.00 (R3)
• 30-min path view (2–3 days): After a strong expansion day and close near highs, expect a shakeout to 43.3–43.7; hold above 43.2 keeps momentum intact. Through 44.30 opens a measured move to 45.3–45.8; follow-through can test 46.5–47.
• 1–3 day targets: 44.8, 45.8, stretch 46.8–47.0
• Entry ideas:

– Pullback buy 43.30–43.70 into prior breakout zone
– Breakout buy 44.35–44.50 on rising volume

• Stop: 42.45 (below S2 and breakout failure line)

6) RCAT

• Support: 7.40 (S1), 7.30 (S2), 7.10 (S3)
• Resistance: 7.60 (R1), 7.90 (R2), 8.30 (R3)
• 30-min path view (2–3 days): Small-cap momentum close at HOD favors a quick retest of 7.40–7.45; if buyers defend, a push through 7.60 can accelerate to 7.85–7.95. Continuation days often target round numbers; 8.20–8.30 feasible if volume stays hot.
• 1–3 day targets: 7.75–7.95, 8.10, stretch 8.30
• Entry ideas:

– Pullback buy 7.35–7.45
– Breakout buy >7.60 with time-and-sales confirmation (avoid thin liquidity slippage)

• Stop: 7.08 (beneath S3 and intraday shelf)

Risk management and execution notes

• Use smaller size on thin/small caps (e.g., RCAT) and widen stops modestly relative to liquidity.
• For breakout entries, require volume expansion on the 30-minute bar (>1.2x the prior 30-minute average) to reduce failed-break risk.
• If SPY/QQQ open soft, favor pullback entries over immediate breakouts; if indices broaden bid, lean into confirmation breaks at R1.

Quick sector watchlist bias (no setups detailed)

• Positive bias continuation: TSM, SNPS, KLAC, LRCX, ONTO, SNOW
• Caution for longs until rotation improves: DHI, LEN, PHM, TOL; UAL/ULCC; BLD/IBP/BLDR

Reminder: Validate the listed support/resistance against your daily charts (30-day context) before placing orders; adjust stops/targets to your instrument’s current daily ATR and your risk budget.
