Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (data window analyzed: 2026-01-07, roughly 12:30–16:30 EST from your 30‑minute bars)
Important context note: You requested a 30‑day/10‑day perspective; only the last intraday slices for 1/7 were provided. I’m basing the momentum read on this session’s price/volume behavior and typical supply/demand zones; please confirm the listed higher‑timeframe levels on your daily charts before acting.
- Semis/Hardware and Optical components (AMKR, LPTH): Showed the clearest late‑day accumulation. AMKR ramped into the close on expanding volumes and held gains. LPTH reclaimed VWAP intraday (implied by the recovery from 12.02 to 12.65) and continued holding in the after‑hours. This points to near‑term leadership in chips/electronic components.
- Large-cap Biotech/Pharma (REGN, VRTX): REGN printed higher highs/higher lows through the afternoon and closed strong near 812–814 resistance. VRTX was choppy but constructive. Net: steady institutional bid in quality biotech.
- Small/micro‑cap Biotech (AVIR, NBY, KPTI, IMRX): Mixed. AVIR climbed steadily with rising activity; KPTI range‑bound; NBY volatile fade; IMRX suffered a sharp after‑hours dump (event risk). Selectivity is key; favor better liquidity/clean trends (AVIR).
- Precious Metals/Materials (AEM, TMC, NB, RIOX): AEM held near session highs (defensive bid). TMC churned, NB faded late. RIOX broke out late to 10.10 then held ~10.05—speculative momentum present but liquidity light.
- Industrials/Aero/Defense (ESLT, EVTL): ESLT flat; EVTL trended lower—weak tape in eVTOL.
- Clean Energy/Alt Energy (BE): Persistent selloff and lower highs—risk‑off here.
- Consumer Discretionary/Travel (BKNG): Tight, directionless.
- Comm Services/Mega-cap tech (GOOG): Tight range; no strong directional read.
- REIT (DBRG): Essentially flat; no momentum signal.
- China/ADR microcaps (KXIN, CNEY, VALN): Very illiquid and choppy—avoid for planned swings.
Notable tape themes today:
– Rotation toward quality and defensives (AEM, REGN) and select semis (AMKR).
– Speculative microcap momentum exists (RMCO, RIOX) but liquidity/gap risk is high.
– Weakness in clean energy (BE) and eVTOL (EVTL). Event risk elevated in small‑cap biotech (IMRX).
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation candidates:
– AMKR, LPTH, REGN, AEM, AVIR, RMCO (speculative).
Strongest bullish signals:
– AMKR: Close near HOD with expanding volume; clear intraday higher‑highs sequence.
– LPTH: Reclaim and hold into after‑hours; range expansion from 12.02 to 12.75.
– REGN: Persistent afternoon bid, knocking on resistance.
– AEM: Strong hold near intraday highs; steady institutional profile.
– AVIR: Series of higher highs across the afternoon; constructive micro‑trend.
– RMCO: Stair‑step advance, close at highs; speculative breakout characteristics.
Individual Stock Analysis (key levels, 30‑min path, targets, entries/stops)
Note: Daily supply/demand zones inferred from intraday pivots and round‑numbers due to limited dataset—validate on your daily chart.
1) AMKR
– Supports (demand): 52.20–52.25 (session low zone), 52.40–52.45 (mid‑day shelf), 52.00 (psych).
– Resistances (supply): 52.93 (HOD), 53.20 (extension/round # magnet), 53.50 (next likely daily supply).
– 30‑min path (2–3 days): Favor an opening dip buy into 52.40–52.55, then a push through 52.93. Hold above 52.40 keeps momentum intact; sustained above 53.00 opens 53.30–53.60.
– Targets (1–3 day): 52.93, 53.30 (~0.5x today’s range), 53.60–53.80 (~1.0x range extension). If semis bid, stretch 54.10.
– Entries: Tier in 52.40–52.55; add on 53.00 break/hold.
– Stops: 52.15 initial; wider swing stop 51.95 if using smaller size.
2) LPTH
– Supports: 12.20–12.25 (intraday demand), 12.00 (psych), 12.40 (minor intraday shelf).
– Resistances: 12.75 (post‑close high), 13.00 (psych + potential daily supply), 13.35–13.40 (range projection).
– 30‑min path: Expect early retest 12.35–12.45; hold leads to 12.75 retest. Clear/hold 12.75 → 13.00 tag; acceptance above 13 opens 13.30–13.40.
– Targets: 12.75, 13.00, 13.30–13.40 (approx 0.5–1.0x today’s range ~0.37–0.73).
– Entries: 12.35–12.45 pullback; add on 12.76–12.80 hold.
– Stops: 12.10 (below demand); conservative swing stop 11.95.
3) REGN
– Supports: 809.5–810.0 (intraday base), 806.5–807.0 (prior higher‑low), 802.0–802.5 (session floor).
– Resistances: 814.1 (HOD), 818.5–819.0 (range extension), 824–825 (1.0x session range).
– 30‑min path: Buy dips into 807–810 if market tone is firm; push through 814 sets 819; acceptance above 819 targets 824–825.
– Targets: 814, 819, 824–825.
– Entries: 808–810 with confirmation; momentum add on 814.2 break/hold.
– Stops: 804.5 (below structure); wider stop 801.5 if scaling in.
4) AEM
– Supports: 181.60–181.70 (intraday base), 181.20 (minor shelf), 180.50–180.60 (session floor/round number).
– Resistances: 182.40 (HOD/supply tap), 183.00 (psych), 184.00 (next daily supply zone).
– 30‑min path: Expect a shallow dip into 181.6–181.8; hold leads to 182.4 retest. Break/hold 182.4 unlocks 183.0 then 184.0 on follow‑through/market risk‑off bid.
– Targets: 182.40, 183.00, 184.00 (0.5–1.0x of session range).
– Entries: 181.60–181.80; add on 182.45 hold.
– Stops: 181.10 initial; swing stop 180.40.
5) AVIR
– Supports: 3.45–3.47 (intraday demand), 3.40 (round level/shelf), 3.37 (session floor).
– Resistances: 3.53 (HOD), 3.60 (next supply), 3.70 (extension/round).
– 30‑min path: Look for a controlled pullback to 3.46–3.48; reclaim 3.50 and push 3.53. Hold above 3.53 sets 3.60; continuation to 3.68–3.70 on momentum.
– Targets: 3.53, 3.60, 3.68–3.70 (using ~0.5–1.0x session range).
– Entries: 3.46–3.48; add on 3.53 break/hold.
– Stops: 3.41 (beneath shelf); if thin liquidity, allow to 3.37 with reduced size.
6) RMCO (speculative)
– Supports: 3.75–3.80 (intraday shelf), 3.66 (prior pivot), 3.50–3.51 (session base).
– Resistances: 3.90 (HOD), 4.00 (psych breakout), 4.20 (projected next supply).
– 30‑min path: Preferred setup is a dip/hold 3.75–3.80, then 3.90 retest. Strong tape pushes 4.00; acceptance above 4 can trend to 4.15–4.20.
– Targets: 3.95, 4.05–4.10, 4.20–4.25.
– Entries: 3.75–3.80; momentum add on 3.90–3.92 break/hold.
– Stops: 3.65 initial; if illiquidity widens spreads, keep size small and honor stop.
Watchlist (constructive but not top‑tier signals today): RIOX (late microcap breakout; thin), VRTX (needs 486+), GOOG (coiling), KPTI (needs range expansion). Avoid/weak for long setups near term: BE, EVTL, IMRX (event risk), NBY (whipsaw), DBRG (no range), extreme illiquids (NRXS, VALN, KXIN, CNEY).
Risk and execution notes
– Targets use nearby resistance and ~0.5–1.0x of today’s realized ranges as a proxy for daily ATR since 30‑day data wasn’t provided; refine with your actual ATR(14).
– Position smaller on microcaps/speculative names (RMCO, RIOX); prioritize liquid names (AMKR, REGN, AEM).
– Confirmation triggers: look for hold above breakout levels on 5–15 minute closes, not just ticks, and track volume on the push.
