Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed: 2026-01-23 15:00–19:30)
Note: You provided only late-session and after-hours prints for 1/23; without the full 30-day tape, I’m emphasizing very recent liquidity and relative strength to infer near-term momentum.

  • Semiconductors: Net positive tone. ON (closed/held near highs ~62.04), ARM (held gains to 116.25), MCHP strong late-session ramp (to ~74.7) despite some AH noise. LRCX softened into the close/AH (~216.01). Overall breadth favors dips-to-buy in semi names (ON, ARM, MCHP), with LRCX the laggard.
  • Materials/Metals: FCX bid through after-hours (60.85), printing higher highs into the final bar; copper sensitivity supports a continuation setup.
  • Energy: AR illiquid/flat (~34.43) — no clear momentum edge.
  • China/EV: XPEV upticked into the AH close (~19.30); BABA slightly faded (~172.88). Mixed read — XPEV > BABA for near-term momentum. ABAT small-cap battery edged up (4.75) on light volume.
  • Healthcare/Biotech/Pharma: Mixed-to-soft. MRNA, BMY mostly flat; NVO faded late; IBRX churned heavy but unresolved; RXRX flat. No sector-wide push; better to be selective/trade catalysts.
  • Crypto miners: IREN steady bid (56.36) with tight tape — constructive.
  • Consumer/Spec: GME trended up with rising AH volume (23.29) — clear risk-on signal. RBLX soft on tiny volume. LVLU and AHMA both heavy AH fades (illiquid risk-off microcaps).
    Key pattern: Rotation into cyclicals/semis and risk-on (GME, FCX, ON, ARM, IREN), while illiquid small caps and select large-cap pharma softened (LRCX, LVLU, AHMA, NVO).

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most likely to push higher: FCX, ON, ARM, GME, IREN, XPEV
Strongest bullish signals:
– GME (higher highs + increasing AH volume)
– FCX (persistent bid, new AH highs)
– ON (held near session highs; clean micro-structure)
Also constructive: ARM (tight drift higher), IREN (tight range with buyers), XPEV (steady AH uptick)

Individual Stock Analysis (setups for likely upside names)
All levels reflect the latest session’s intraday/AH structure; refine at the open with first 30–60 minutes of 30-minute bars.

1) FCX
– Support: 60.65; 60.53; 60.00 (psych)
– Resistance: 60.90 (AH high zone); 61.40; 61.80
– 30-minute path idea (2–3 days): Day 1 probe 60.9–61.0, shallow pullback 60.6–60.7, then grind to 61.2–61.4. Day 2 continuation toward 61.8 if 61.0 holds as support.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 61.20; 61.40; 61.80
– Entry: 60.60–60.70 on a controlled dip or reclaim of 60.90 after a pullback.
– Stop: Below 60.30 (tighter) or 59.90 (room for noise).

2) ON
– Support: 61.80; 61.40; 61.00
– Resistance: 62.15; 62.50; 63.00
– 30-minute path idea (2–3 days): Early test of 62.15; pullback to 61.8; higher low base and push to 62.3–62.5. Day 2: 62.7–63 retest if 62+ holds in value.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 62.30; 62.70; 63.10
– Entry: 61.75–61.90 on dips or 62.15 break-and-retest.

3) ARM
– Support: 116.00; 115.52; 115.00
– Resistance: 116.45; 117.00; 118.00
– 30-minute path idea (2–3 days): Hold 116 on open; push into 116.8–117; consolidate; attempt 117.5–118 on Day 2 if 116.4 becomes support.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 116.80; 117.50; 118.50
– Entry: 116.00–116.10 on a dip hold, or above 116.45 after retest.
– Stop: 115.40 (beneath AH low); secondary 114.90 for wider swing.

4) GME
– Support: 23.00; 22.95; 22.80
– Resistance: 23.30; 23.50; 24.00
– 30-minute path idea (2–3 days): Opening dip to ~23 for a higher low; push toward 23.5. If 23.3–23.5 holds as value, Day 2 extension into 23.9–24.0, with sharp pullbacks likely.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 23.50; 23.90; 24.50
– Entry: 23.00–23.10 on dips with time-and-sales confirming buyers; momentum add on 23.30 reclaim after a pullback.
– Stop: 22.75 (below higher-low structure).

Notes and risk management
– Liquidity caveat: Several prints are thin after-hours; recalibrate levels with the first hour of RTH on 30-minute bars.
– If the open gaps through your intended entries, wait for a pullback to prior resistance turned support rather than chasing.
– If any of these lose their stated first support and fail to reclaim it on the next 1–2 30-minute bars, stand down — that invalidates the immediate momentum thesis.
