Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range covered: 2025-09-26 14:00 to 19:30)
Note: The dataset provided contains only late‑day/after‑hours intraday prints for 2025-09-26. A full 30‑day view wasn’t included, so the analysis below focuses on the observed price/volume action today and how that typically sets up 1–3 day momentum swings.
- Software/AI/SaaS (CRWD, DOCU, SOUN, ZETA): Mostly constructive to mildly bid. DOCU pressed toward 82 into the close/after-hours and held; ZETA stair‑stepped higher late with higher prints into 20.79–20.76. SOUN was tight and orderly around 15.95–15.98 (neutral-to-slightly positive). CRWD was very tight with small uptick but no volume thrust.
- Biotech/Healthcare (CYTK, EVAX, GLUE, GOSS, NUVB, MBOT): Mixed but with notable bright spots. CYTK showed a strong late thrust (50.68 high with a 534k 30‑min bar), then held 50.20–50.40—classic accumulation signature. EVAX advanced from 3.53–3.80 with a test of 3.92–4.00 and held most gains. GOSS faded from 2.75 to 2.70; GLUE edged lower; NUVB choppy and illiquid.
- Crypto miners/blockchain/related (RIOT, HUT, CORZ, CLSK, BITF, BTDR, BKKT): Broadly flat-to-soft, with RIOT and BITF stabilizing into the close. HUT and CLSK showed mild fades; CORZ very flat; BKKT was whippy and slipped to 17.95 before bouncing.
- Communications/Media/Telecom (WBD, LUMN): Quiet, slightly positive (WBD ticked up to 19.53; LUMN steady).
- Fintech/Brokerage/Mortgage (HOOD, UWMC): Steady, low-volatility after-hours.
- Industrial/Other (GTM, B): GTM showed notable RTH momentum (11.48 → 11.58) and printed 11.87 after-hours—potential continuation setup. B (Barnes) edged up late.
Key short-term themes:
- Accumulation signatures in CYTK and GTM suggest potential follow-through.
- EVAX showed active buyers into the close with higher highs and held higher lows—watch for continuation if dip buyers defend.
- ZETA’s orderly stair-step higher after hours is constructive for an early push.
- Crypto complex broadly neutral; RIOT looks relatively better within the group given steady higher prints into 19:30.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside candidates (strongest to moderate):
- Strong bullish signals: CYTK, GTM, EVAX
- Constructive setups: ZETA, DOCU
- Speculative/sector-beta follow: RIOT (best of crypto cohort observed today)
Individual Stock Analysis and Trade Plan (1–3 day swing)
CYTK
- Thesis: Strong late-day expansion to 50.68 with heavy 30‑min volume, then tight hold above 50.20—bullish continuation bias if 50.20 holds.
- Support: 50.20, 49.90, 49.70
- Resistance: 50.68, 51.00, 51.50
- 2–3 day price action view (30‑min structure): Early test of 50.68; small pullback toward 50.20–50.30; if defended, push toward 51.00; extension possible to 51.50 on momentum/volume.
- Targets (1–3 day): 50.70–51.00, then 51.50
- Entry: Scale 50.20–50.35 on dips; add on reclaim/hold above 50.70
- Stop: 49.60 (beneath today’s swing low zone), or tighter 49.90 if using a momentum stop
GTM
- Thesis: Strong RTH ramp and AH print at 11.87 suggests a continuation attempt if prior RTH high (11.58) turns into support.
- Support: 11.58, 11.50, 11.48
- Resistance: 11.87, 12.00, 12.20
- 2–3 day price action view: Potential opening consolidation above 11.58; if held, retest 11.87; breakout attempt toward 12.00; continuation to 12.20 if volume expands.
- Targets: 11.87, 12.00–12.05, 12.20
- Entry: 11.55–11.60 pullback; secondary add on clean break/hold above 11.87
- Stop: 11.44 (below base), or tighter 11.48 for low-risk try
EVAX
- Thesis: Series of higher highs late with a probe toward 3.92–4.00; held rising structure—watch for a dip-and-rip.
- Support: 3.65–3.66, 3.60, 3.53
- Resistance: 3.80, 3.92, 4.00–4.10
- 2–3 day price action view: Early dip into 3.65–3.70 gets bought; push back to 3.80; break/hold over 3.92 could squeeze to 4.00–4.10.
- Targets: 3.92, 4.00, stretch 4.20 if momentum accelerates
- Entry: 3.65–3.70 on weakness; add on reclaim of 3.80
- Stop: 3.55 (below higher‑low shelf)
ZETA
- Thesis: Clean after-hours stair-step from 20.65 area to 20.79–20.76 close—constructive for a morning push if dips are defended.
- Support: 20.57, 20.60, 20.50
- Resistance: 20.80, 21.00, 21.20
- 2–3 day price action view: Attempt through 20.80 early; if rejected, look for a higher low at 20.60–20.65; second push targets 21.00, then 21.20 with volume.
- Targets: 20.90–21.00, 21.20
- Entry: 20.60–20.70 pullback; add above 20.80 on hold
- Stop: 20.45–20.50 (below support band)
DOCU
- Thesis: Pressed and held 82 late; constructive if 81.50–81.70 becomes a higher‑low zone.
- Support: 81.50, 81.20, 80.90
- Resistance: 82.00, 82.50, 83.00
- 2–3 day price action view: Early pop through 82 → test 82.50; likely pullback into 81.70–82.00; if held, continuation toward 83.00.
- Targets: 82.20–82.50, then 83.00
- Entry: 81.50–81.70 on dips; add on sustained trade above 82.00
- Stop: 81.20 (beneath intraday support)
RIOT
- Thesis: Best relative tone among miners observed today with steady higher prints; a beta play if crypto risk stabilizes.
- Support: 17.60, 17.50, 17.40
- Resistance: 17.70, 17.85, 18.00
- 2–3 day price action view: Grind through 17.70; if accepted, test 17.85; pullback likely to 17.60–17.65; higher‑low could launch a try at 18.00.
- Targets: 17.85, 18.00, stretch 18.25
- Entry: 17.60–17.65; add on reclaim of 17.70 with volume
- Stop: 17.40 (below support)
Additional quick notes on others
- CRWD: Very tight AH band; no momentum signal yet—needs range expansion > 482.50 or a strong dip buy near 480 to consider.
- SOUN: Tight and orderly; watch 15.98 break for a quick 16.10–16.20 push, otherwise range trade.
- AAOI: Illiquid AH; watch 25.85–26.00 reclaim for momentum.
- WBD, LUMN, HOOD, UWMC, B: Quiet; not preferred for short‑term momentum until volume arrives.
- Crypto cohort (HUT, CLSK, CORZ, BITF, BTDR, BKKT): Mixed/flat; RIOT stands out slightly. Wait for group confirmation before broad exposure.
Risk management reminders
- Use smaller size on thin AH signals; let regular-hours liquidity confirm.
- If a breakout fails quickly, step aside and re-enter only on fresh higher‑low structures.
- Respect stops near the quoted support zones; momentum setups work best when levels hold cleanly.
If you can share full daily data (last 30 trading days) and regular-hours 30‑minute bars, I can refine daily support/resistance, compute ATR‑based targets more precisely, and upgrade these setups with higher confidence.
