Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2026-01-12 13:30 to 19:30 (RTH into after-hours) using the data you provided. No prior 10–30 day candles were included, so the emphasis is on the latest session’s 30-minute structure and after-hours continuation.
- Read-through by sector/industry from the basket:
- Biotech/Pharma (ELVN, IMNM, ARDX, ZNTL, BMY): Momentum rotated into smaller-cap biotech. ELVN showed classic range expansion with a close near HOD and continued ticking up after-hours. IMNM printed a higher after-hours high (20.73) versus the RTH bar and held most of it. ARDX was firm but tight. ZNTL had a small pop then faded slightly. BMY was mixed, heavy name with little follow-through.
- Consumer discretionary/retail and travel (PETS, CPNG, NCLH, UA/UAA): Mixed. PETS stair-stepped higher with a volume expansion in the 15:30 bar—constructive. NCLH steady intraday but softened after-hours. CPNG drifted lower into the close after holding a narrow band. UA/UAA flat and illiquid after-hours.
- Energy/Materials (DNN, NXE—uranium): Both faded after-hours, signaling a cooling tape in uranium for the day.
- Tech/Semis/AR (TSM, VUZI): TSM held a tight, orderly range—constructive but not impulsive. VUZI faded into after-hours—risk appetite lower there.
- Financials/Asset managers (BN, RILY): RILY flat and illiquid. BN had heavy RTH sell pressure at 15:30, then reclaimed and pushed to ~48.20 after-hours—potential bullish mean reversion and reclaim setup.
- Solar (RUN): Flat and illiquid after-hours—no edge shown.
- Notable patterns:
- Range expansion + close near highs with after-hours continuation (ELVN) is the day’s cleanest momentum signal.
- Reclaims above RTH sell-off levels in after-hours (BN; also IMNM holding above 20.40–20.60) suggest potential gap-and-go scenarios.
- Defensive/large-cap (BMY, TSM) were orderly but not momentum leaders for a 1–3 day swing.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Most likely to push higher: ELVN, IMSR, PETS, BN, IMNM
– ELVN: Strongest signal—range expansion, high-volume push, AH continuation.
– IMSR: Series of higher closes after-hours and buyers defending 11.78–11.81.
– PETS: 15:30 volume expansion on a breakout above ~3.35; structure supports a continuation push.
– BN: After-hours reclaim above 48.00 after heavy 15:30 RTH sell—bullish if 47.85–48.00 holds.
– IMNM: After-hours push to 20.73 with higher close vs RTH; needs to hold 20.40–20.50 to set higher leg.
Individual Stock Analysis (setups for 1–3 day swings)
ELVN
– Key supports (daily zones inferred from session structure):
– 24.80 (higher low/late-day demand)
– 24.45 (prior intraday resistance turned support)
– 24.14 (session low/demand)
– Key resistances (near-term supply):
– 25.11 (HOD/near-term supply)
– 25.50 (psych half-dollar and likely supply pocket)
– 26.00 (round number, next supply band)
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days):
– Preferred: Early pullback to 24.80–24.90, hold VWAP, then reclaim 25.00 → push through 25.11. Follow-through opens 25.50. If volume expands > average first hour, stretch to 26.00 within 1–3 sessions.
– Swing targets (use today’s ~0.97 range as ATR proxy):
– PT1: 25.30–25.50
– PT2: 25.90–26.00
– Stretch: 26.50
– Entry ideas:
– 24.80–24.90 on a controlled pullback
– Add on 25.12–25.15 breakout with volume confirmation
– Stop-loss:
– Tighter: 24.38–24.45 (below flip zone)
– Wider swing: 24.05 (below session low)
–
IMSR
– Key supports:
– 11.78–11.81 (after-hours demand shelf)
– 11.60 (mid-structure cushion)
– 11.40 (session low/last-ditch)
– Key resistances:
– 11.95 (AH high/supply tap)
– 12.00 (round number)
– 12.20 (extension supply band)
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days):
– Ideally holds 11.78–11.81 off the open; through 11.95 opens a 12.00 test; acceptance ≥12.00 could stair-step toward 12.20 across 1–3 days.
– Swing targets (use ~0.55 range as ATR proxy):
– PT1: 12.00–12.05
– PT2: 12.18–12.20
– Stretch: 12.45
– Entry ideas:
– 11.78–11.85 pullback buy
– Momentum add through 11.96–12.00 with volume
– Stop-loss:
– Tighter: 11.60
– Wider: 11.38 (below session low)
–
PETS
– Key supports:
– 3.35 (breakout level)
– 3.32 (base from earlier 30-min bars)
– 3.30 (psych level)
– Key resistances:
– 3.38–3.40 (late-day high/supply)
– 3.45 (quarter level supply)
– 3.50 (round number)
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days):
– Look for a 3.34–3.36 retest to hold; reclaim 3.38 and push 3.40. Sustained bidding above 3.40 opens a grind to 3.45 and possibly 3.50 within 1–3 sessions if volume stays elevated.
– Swing targets (use ~0.08 range as ATR proxy):
– PT1: 3.40
– PT2: 3.45
– Stretch: 3.50–3.55 (needs volume expansion beyond today’s)
– Entry ideas:
– 3.34–3.36 retest buy
– 3.40 breakout add on strong tape
– Stop-loss:
– Tighter: 3.31
– Wider: 3.28
–
BN
– Key supports:
– 48.00 (reclaim line)
– 47.84–47.90 (15:30 RTH low area)
– 47.50 (round number cushion)
– Key resistances:
– 48.20 (after-hours print/supply)
– 48.50 (half-dollar supply)
– 49.00 (round number)
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days):
– If 48.00 holds off the open, a quick tag of 48.20 is likely; acceptance above 48.20 sets 48.50. With steady flows, 49.00 is achievable over 1–3 sessions.
– Swing targets (use ~0.25 intraday range as ATR proxy):
– PT1: 48.20–48.30
– PT2: 48.50
– Stretch: 49.00
– Entry ideas:
– 47.90–48.05 pullback buy against reclaim
– Add on 48.22–48.25 break/hold
– Stop-loss:
– Tighter: 47.70
– Wider: 47.45
–
IMNM
– Key supports:
– 20.40–20.50 (RTH/AH demand band)
– 20.28–20.30 (AH low probe)
– 20.00 (round number)
– Key resistances:
– 20.66–20.73 (RTH+AH highs/supply)
– 21.00 (round number)
– 21.20 (near-term extension)
– 30-min outlook (2–3 days):
– Preferred: Hold 20.40–20.50, then push 20.70; a clean break/hold above 20.73 should draw a 21.00 test. If momentum persists, 21.20 is feasible within 1–3 sessions.
– Swing targets (use ~0.35–0.45 recent range as ATR proxy):
– PT1: 20.90–21.00
– PT2: 21.15–21.20
– Stretch: 21.50 (requires broad tape risk-on)
– Entry ideas:
– 20.42–20.52 pullback buy with tight risk
– Momentum add through 20.74 with volume confirmation
– Stop-loss:
– Tighter: 20.25
– Wider: 19.98

Notes and risk management
– This read is constrained to the provided 2026-01-12 intraday/AH data; typical daily ATRs over the last 10–30 days were not supplied, so targets use today’s realized ranges as proxies.
– For momentum swings, keep risk tight under your nearest demand level and scale out into supply zones/PTs. If the open invalidates your support (gap below and fail to reclaim), step aside and reassess.
