Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed)
– Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-10-17 ~14:30 to 19:30 based on your 30-minute/after-hours snapshots. A full 30-day price/volume history wasn’t included, so conclusions emphasize the most recent session’s microstructure. If you can share the last 30 trading days (daily and regular-hours 30-minute), I’ll refine trend and ATR levels materially.
Sector/industry takeaways from the provided tape
– Crypto miners/exchanges (CLSK, MARA, RIOT, BTDR, BKKT): Mixed-to-sideways into the AH close. CLSK showed clear relative strength with a push to 19.85 and consistent prints; MARA and RIOT were flat-to-muted; BTDR unconvincing; BKKT retraced from 36.85 to 36.15 (supply overhead). This cluster likely needs a fresh BTC impulse for synchronized expansion.
– Fintech/brokerage (HOOD, PYPL, SOFI, BHF, B): HOOD led with a late-session push to 131.00 on the heaviest 30-min volume of the AH set—bullish. PYPL creep higher to 67.55; SOFI rangebound 26.70–26.75 (neutral).
– Nuclear/uranium/critical materials (SMR, NXE, MP): SMR finished on the highs at 45.00 after steady higher closes—constructive for a breakout attempt. NXE ticked up to 8.5963 late; MP closed at its session high 81.32—both supportive of energy/materials momentum continuing near-term.
– AI/edge/voice/software (SOUN, ONDS, BBAI, RXRX, VUZI): ONDS showed the cleanest momentum—3 higher closes and the session’s biggest volume on the final bar to 7.73. SOUN firmed to 19.20 with steady bids. BBAI volume was heavy but net-flat (coiling). RXRX slipped modestly; VUZI flat.
– Precious metals miners (AEM, AG, FSM, IAG, ORLA): Mixed and mostly quiet flows; AG oscillated, FSM faded into the close, AEM had illiquid spikes, IAG/ORLA were very thin.
– Semis/hardware (AVGO, DELL): Both were orderly; AVGO reclaimed 349.99 on higher last-bar volume (constructive), DELL parked around 149.6 (neutral).
– China EV (XPEV): Flat around 21.20 (no signal).
– Healthcare/biotech (NTLA, ABCL, NVAX, NUVB, TDOC): Mostly quiet, slight upticks in NTLA and ABCL, TDOC minor give-back; no clear momentum tells yet.
Notable pattern
– Bid-into-close with volume expansion is a classic 1–2 day continuation tell. Leaders by that metric: HOOD, ONDS, SMR, MP, and to a lesser extent CLSK, SOUN. Caution for thin AH names: validate in regular hours.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Most likely to push higher: HOOD, MP, SMR, ONDS, CLSK, SOUN.
– Strongest bullish signals
– HOOD: Higher highs into the close + volume expansion on the final bar.
– ONDS: Sequential higher closes with escalating volume; pushing 7.75 supply.
– SMR: Closed on the highs at the round 45 handle; poised for a break.
– MP: Closed at session high; materials bid often persists a day or two.
– CLSK: Relative strength vs crypto peers; persistent bids to 19.85.
– SOUN: Firmed into close; room to test 19.5/20.0 liquidity pockets.
Individual Stock Analysis
Note: Support/resistance are derived from the provided prints and nearby round-number supply/demand zones. Without the daily chart, treat these as provisional and validate against your daily levels pre-market. ATR-based targets use conservative percent-of-price heuristics typical for each name; refine with your 14-day ATR.
1) HOOD
– Key support: 130.40; 130.10; 129.50
– Key resistance: 131.47; 132.00; 133.50
– 30-min path (2–3 days): Expect an opening dip toward 130.4–130.6, then a push through 131.5; sustained >131.5 opens 132–133.2. Lose 129.9 and momentum likely stalls into a 129.5–131 chop.
– Entries: Pullback buy 130.40–130.60; add on breakout/hold >131.50.
– Stop: 129.90 (tighter momentum stop) or 129.40 (swing).
– 1–3 day targets: T1 131.8–132.0 (near-term liquidity); T2 133.2 (≈1.5% move); T3 135.0 (stretch if momentum accelerates).
–
2) MP
– Key support: 81.05; 80.92; 80.50
– Key resistance: 81.50; 82.00; 83.00
– 30-min path: Likely brief base 80.9–81.2, then probe 81.5–82. A clean hold above 82 invites a trend day toward 82.8–83. Failures back below 80.9 risk a 80.5 retest before any second attempt.
– Entries: 81.00–81.10 retest; or momentum add on >81.50 with volume.
– Stop: 80.40 (beneath the base).
– 1–3 day targets: T1 81.8–82.0; T2 82.8 (≈1–1.5x daily move for this price tier); T3 83.5–84.0 if materials bid persists.
–
3) SMR
– Key support: 44.87; 44.80; 44.60
– Key resistance: 45.00; 45.50; 46.20
– 30-min path: Watch for an early 45.00 break. A quick thrust that holds >45.0 should grind to 45.5–46.0. Failed breakout (wick above 45 that closes back under) likely mean-reverts to 44.7–44.8 before another attempt.
– Entries: 44.90–44.95 reclaim/hold; or post-break retest of 45.00 acting as support.
– Stop: 44.55.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 45.50; T2 46.00; T3 46.70 (if sector flows into nuclear/uranium stay firm).
–
4) ONDS
– Key support: 7.70; 7.65; 7.60
– Key resistance: 7.75; 7.90; 8.10
– 30-min path: Momentum continuation setup. Expect a shallow dip to 7.68–7.72, then attempt to clear 7.75. Hold above 7.75 should magnet 7.90–8.10. Lose 7.60 and the pattern devolves into a broader 7.40–7.70 range.
– Entries: 7.68–7.72 pullback; add on sustained >7.75.
– Stop: 7.58.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 7.90; T2 8.10; T3 8.30–8.40 (≈5–8% extension consistent with small-cap momentum).
–
5) CLSK
– Key support: 19.65; 19.60; 19.40
– Key resistance: 19.85; 20.00; 20.50
– 30-min path: Look for a buyable dip to 19.65–19.72, then a grind to 19.85/20.00. A clean acceptance above 20 opens 20.5. If 19.40 breaks, momentum likely stalls and reverts toward 19.0–19.2.
– Entries: 19.65–19.72; or breakout >20.00 with expanding volume.
– Stop: 19.40 (beneath the AH base).
– 1–3 day targets: T1 20.00; T2 20.50; T3 21.00 (sector beta can accelerate if crypto bid returns).
–
6) SOUN
– Key support: 19.10; 19.00; 18.85
– Key resistance: 19.20; 19.50; 20.00
– 30-min path: Early check-back to 19.05–19.12, then probe 19.20; hold above 19.2 sets up 19.5 then 20.0. Break below 18.85 would likely force a reset toward 18.5–18.7 demand before rebuilding.
– Entries: 19.05–19.12 pullback; add on hold >19.20.
– Stop: 18.85.
– 1–3 day targets: T1 19.50; T2 20.00; T3 20.50 (if AI/voice cohort catches a bid).
–
Additional bullish runners to watch (no full plan here, but constructive): SERV (higher closes, volume expansion), AAOI (strong last hour), NXE (late uptick), AVGO (orderly reclaim), PYPL (slow grind higher). Caution/weak: BKKT (retraced), FSM (faded), BLSH/FIG (soft), RIOT/MARA/BTDR (neutral unless crypto lifts).
Risk management and data gap note
– After-hours prints can be thin and gap-prone; prioritize validation at the cash open. Without full 30-day daily/30-minute history, support/resistance zones and ATR-based targets are provisional. Share the last 30 trading days (daily OHLCV + regular-hours 30-minute) and I’ll tighten the levels, ATR targets, and probability-weight the scenarios.
