Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed: 2026-01-14 from 12:00 to 16:00 on 30-minute candles)
Note: Only today’s intraday data were provided (not the full last 30 days). I emphasize the recent session’s price/volume and infer short-term momentum accordingly.
- Semiconductors/chips: Broad late-day bids and closes near highs in TXN (to 193.61), NXPI (to 240.81), SLAB (firm push to 149.05), ONTO (steady to 202.21), VICR (recovery to 145.32), KLIC (push then minor fade to 56.53), ENTG (reclaimed 104.09). This pattern of late-session accumulation suggests 1-3 day continuation potential; standouts on relative strength: NXPI, TXN.
- Aerospace/Defense/Space: Large-cap aero/defense showed persistent demand: TDG ripped into the close (1423.85 HOD close), TDY made new afternoon highs (562.54), AVAV recovered strong into 381.80. KTOS faded, but small-cap UAV RCAT trended higher all afternoon. Net read: quality bid in large caps, speculative strength mixed.
- Healthcare/MedTech: MASI surged into the close (138.41 after tagging 138.99), BDX and TMO stair-stepped higher, while managed care (HUM, MOH) sold late. Bias: device/diagnostics showing accumulation; payors under pressure.
- Energy/Materials: Oilfield services and refiners faded (SLB, PSX), while copper stayed firm (SCCO near HOD; XME slipped late). Uranium names (UUUU, DNN, CCJ) faded in the final hour—watch for digestion after strong prior interest.
- Industrials/Transports: FDX bid into the close; JBHT flat to slightly soft late. KEX steady. WEX had a sharp late-day dump. Mixed but with selective strength in cap-weighted quality.
- REITs: PSA showed strong demand all session and printed near highs—defensive yield play catching a bid.
- Building products: Mixed-to-flat action (LPX, BLDR, SSD, UFPI) with TREX modestly higher. No clear sector momentum today.
- Staples/Discretionary: PM climbed late, HSY faded. Specialty retail CWH trended down.
Notable intraday themes:
– Late-day accumulation in mega/large-cap quality (TDG, TDY, SPGI, TXN, NXPI, PSA, BDX, TMO).
– Small-cap/high beta volatility and liquidation risk (ROLR crash, NINE fade) while selective small/mid-caps showed strength (RKLB, RCAT, MBX).
– Metals divergence: copper firm (SCCO) vs uranium complex fading (UUUU, DNN, CCJ).
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2-3 days)
Likely to trend up near term (highest-quality momentum/close strong with volume):
– TDG, NXPI, TXN, PSA, SPGI, MASI, SCCO, RKLB
Strongest bullish signals today:
– TDG: HOD close with range expansion and heavy 15:30 inflow.
– NXPI, TXN: persistent bid and HOD/near-HOD closes, classic semi continuation setup.
– PSA: steady grind higher and close near HOD.
– SPGI: late-day breakout push, tight close.
– MASI: range expansion and strong recovery into close.
– SCCO: copper leadership; closed near highs.
– RKLB: high-volume uptrend, holding most gains.
Individual Stock Analysis (levels/targets derived from today’s 30-min structure; ATR proxy uses today’s H-L range)
TDG
– ATR proxy (today): ~19.2
– Support: 1420, 1414, 1405
– Resistance: 1423.9 (HOD), 1433, 1443
– 2-3 day view (30-min): Expect a shallow pullback toward 1415-1420 then a push through 1424. Sustained hold above 1424 favors a measured leg into 1433 then 1443.
– 1-3 day targets: 1433, 1443
– Entry: 1415-1418 pullback or 1424 break/retest
– Stop: 1404-1406 (below session support)
NXPI
– ATR proxy: ~3.5
– Support: 240.0, 238.68, 237.50
– Resistance: 240.81 (HOD), 242.00, 244.30
– 2-3 day view: Likely retest of 239.8-240.2 followed by continuation over 240.8. Above 240.8, momentum toward 242.0 then 244s.
– 1-3 day targets: 242.0, 243.2, 244.3
– Entry: 239.9-240.3 on backtest; or 241.0-241.2 on strength

– Support: 192.30, 191.00, 190.60
– Resistance: 193.61 (HOD), 194.50, 196.50
– 2-3 day view: Favor a dip to 192.2-192.6 then a drive through 193.6. Above 193.6, trend can extend into 194.5 then 196.5 over 1-3 days.

– 1-3 day targets: 93.0, 94.0-94.9
– Entry: 90.5-90.9 pullback; or reclaim >92.2 after basing
– Stop: 89.3-89.6
Additional notes and risk management
– Many other names showed constructive closes (BDX, TDY, FDX), but I prioritized the clearest momentum structures above.
– If any of these gap below the first support, wait for a 30-minute reclaim of that level before entry; otherwise, momentum setup may be invalid.
– For small/mid-caps with higher volatility (e.g., RKLB), consider trimming at first target and trail stops under rising 30-min higher lows.
Data limitation caveat
– Without 10-30 day history, I used today’s intraday high-low as a working ATR proxy and defined levels from the 30-minute structure. Reassess with multi-day context if available (prior swing highs/lows, moving averages, and volume-by-price) to refine targets and risk.
