Overall Sector and Industry Analysis

  • Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-09-24 from 11:30 to 15:00 on 30-minute bars. Note: The upload covers a single afternoon session; daily/30-day context wasn’t provided, so levels and ATR proxies are derived from this session’s structure and common swing zones. Validate against your daily charts before execution.
  • Crypto/miners/hardware (CAN, IREN, BTCS): Risk-on and accumulation signals. CAN stair-stepped higher with strong volume expansion and closed near highs; IREN reclaimed afternoon dips and pressed back toward 49; BTCS bid up into the close. This group led momentum.
  • Healthcare providers (HCA, THC): Broad, steady bids and range expansion. Both posted 13:30 breakouts, consolidated above them, and closed firm—classic strength into the close.
  • Semiconductors (ADI): Tight, constructive coil under 249.5–250 with higher lows; buyers defending dips—setup for a push through 250.
  • Consumer discretionary retail/beauty (LULU, ULTA): LULU had a mild grind up; ULTA largely flat—sector neutral/slightly positive.
  • Clean tech/EV/battery (EOSE, EVGO, STEM): Supply-heavy into the close; EOSE trended down all session; STEM faded after a spike; EVGO compressed with lower highs. Group out of favor for near-term longs.
  • Energy/commodities (IMPP, METC): IMPP attempted a breakout >5.08 then faded—still a constructive higher-low structure; METC choppy with late-day supply. Neutral/bounce candidates rather than leaders.
  • Small/mid-cap biotech (RAPT, CNTA, AMLX, XNCR, SYBX, MNPR): Mixed. RAPT showed the strongest upward structure with higher highs into the close; others were flat-to-soft with thin liquidity in places.
  • Micro/penny (ORIS, ECX, XOS): ORIS saw persistent sell pressure; ECX and XOS were illiquid/flat—avoid unless liquidity improves.

Noticeable patterns: Momentum clustered in crypto/miners and healthcare providers; semis are coiling under obvious round-number resistance; clean tech remains weak. Tickers referenced above.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to go up (bullish momentum setups):

  • CAN, IREN, THC, HCA, ADI, RAPT

Strongest bullish signals: CAN and IREN (volume + higher-highs), THC/HCA (late-day strength with holds above intraday breakout levels). ADI looks poised for a measured breakout; RAPT shows constructive accumulation.

Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Support/resistance levels include obvious intraday supply/demand zones and nearby round-number daily pivots. Targets also reference a 1-day realized range proxy (today’s H-L) as ATR stand-in.

1) CAN

  • Supports: 0.860, 0.840, 0.832
  • Resistances: 0.8767 (HOD), 0.900, 0.940
  • 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Prefer a shallow dip-and-rip. Expect early test of 0.86–0.865, then a push through 0.8767. Holding above 0.88 on 30-min closes opens 0.90 then 0.94.
  • Swing targets (1–3 days): 0.90, 0.94, stretch 0.96–0.97 (≈1–2x today’s 0.045 range above HOD).
  • Entries: 0.86–0.865 retest; add on 0.878–0.882 breakout-hold.
  • Stop-loss: Tight 0.848; wider 0.832 (below session base).

2) IREN

  • Supports: 48.50, 48.10, 47.75
  • Resistances: 49.10 (session high zone), 49.80, 50.50
  • 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Watch an early dip toward 48.1–48.5; if defended, look for a 49.10 break. Sustained 30-min closes above 49.10 target 49.8 then 50.5.
  • Swing targets (1–3 days): 49.8, 50.5, stretch 51.0 (≈1–1.5x today’s ~1.36 range above 49.1).
  • Entries: 48.15–48.35 into support; or 49.12–49.20 post-break and hold.
  • Stop-loss: 47.70 (below session low); tighter momentum stop 48.00 if buying strength.

3) THC

  • Supports: 196.00, 195.07, 194.68
  • Resistances: 197.18–197.90 (supply band), 198.50, 200.00
  • 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Momentum continuation favored if price bases above 196. Look for a press into 197.9; 30-min hold above unlocks 198.5–200.
  • Swing targets (1–3 days): 198.5, 199.8–200.0, stretch 201.0 (≈1R over 197.9 using ~3.2 range).
  • Entries: 196.10–196.40 pullback; or 197.20–197.40 on reclaim/hold of the supply band.
  • Stop-loss: 195.00; wider swing stop 194.60 (below session pivot low).

4) HCA

  • Supports: 414.50, 413.90, 412.50
  • Resistances: 416.54 (HOD), 418.00, 421.00
  • 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Expect a small dip toward 414.5; buyers likely defend and attempt a break over 416.5. Above that, 418 and 421 come into play.
  • Swing targets (1–3 days): 418, 421, stretch 422–423 (≈1R above 416.5 using ~5.6 range).
  • Entries: 414.6–415.1 pullback; or 416.7–417.0 after a confirmed break and hold.
  • Stop-loss: 413.80; wider 412.40 (beneath support cluster).

5) ADI

  • Supports: 248.70, 248.20, 247.50
  • Resistances: 249.45, 250.00, 251.90
  • 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Coiled under 249.5–250. Look for a tight-range open; a 249.5–250 break with volume likely trends to 250.7 then 251.9.
  • Swing targets (1–3 days): 250.7, 251.9, stretch 253.0 (≈1–2R above 249.45 using ~1.25 range).
  • Entries: 248.7–248.9 buy-the-dip; or 249.6–249.8 breakout-hold.
  • Stop-loss: 248.15; wider 247.45.

6) RAPT

  • Supports: 23.53, 23.38, 23.06
  • Resistances: 23.85–23.91, 24.10, 24.50
  • 30-min outlook (2–3 days): Constructive higher highs into the close. Expect a micro pullback to 23.5–23.6, then retest 23.9. A hold above 23.9 opens 24.1 → 24.5.
  • Swing targets (1–3 days): 24.10, 24.50, stretch 24.80 (≈1R above 23.9 using ~0.85 range).
  • Entries: 23.55–23.65 on dip; or 23.92–23.98 on breakout-hold.
  • Stop-loss: 23.35; conservative swing stop 23.00.

Watchlist runners (secondary)

  • IMPP: Supports 4.90/4.87/4.80; resistances 5.08/5.20/5.40. Long on 4.90–4.95 hold or 5.08 break. Stops ≤4.85.

Risk and execution notes

  • Confirm these intraday-derived zones against your daily chart before entries, as the upload lacked 10–30 days of daily context.
  • For momentum continuation, prioritize names that hold above VWAP and prior 30-min breakout levels in the first hour.
  • Size smaller in thin or highly volatile tickers; use bracketed orders around breakouts to manage slippage.
