Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
– Datetime range (EST) analyzed: 2025-10-20 14:00 to 19:30 EST. Note: The data provided is late regular session and after-hours snapshots for this date only; there is no 30-day history here. The commentary focuses on intraday and after-hours momentum and how it could set up the next 1–3 days.

  • Semiconductors and adjacent hardware (AMD, MRVL, AAOI, INDI, STX): Mild risk-on tone. AMD held firm near after-hours highs (240.99) and closed strong; MRVL flat-to-firm; AAOI showed a sharp AH pop toward 35.08 before settling, signaling potential squeeze continuation; INDI uptick then gave back; STX held 214–215 range with light AH liquidity. Net: constructive to slightly bullish, led by large-cap strength (AMD) and a speculative bid in optical (AAOI).

  • Software/AI/AdTech (TTD, SOUN, GTLB, ONDS): Mixed but with pockets of strength. TTD pushed to AH highs (52.70) into the close; ONDS trended steadily higher all session to 7.98 with consistent prints; SOUN was range-bound; GTLB flat. Net: mid-cap momentum names (TTD, ONDS) closed strong, an encouraging tell for near-term continuation.

  • Energy/Materials (EQT, NXE, MP, GWH): EQT stood out with a strong late-day push to 57.06 and firm AH prints near 56.92; NXE flat; MP churned; GWH faded into the close. Net: selective strength in nat gas E&P (EQT); storage (GWH) soft.

  • Financials/Fintech/REIT (SOFI, PYPL, WFC, DBRG, MPW): SOFI climbed steadily AH to 28.88 and finished at session highs; PYPL and WFC were flat; DBRG slipped; MPW unchanged. Net: consumer fintech (SOFI) showed relative strength; large-bank and REIT prints were quiet.

  • Biotech/Health (MRNA, CRNX, QURE, NUVB, SPRC, OMER, SANA, ACHV, TDOC): Broadly mixed with low liquidity. ACHV stair-stepped higher to 5.06 into the close; MRNA flat-to-slightly up; others mostly stagnant. Net: selective micro-cap momentum (ACHV) with otherwise quiet tape.

Notable cross-sector pattern: Multiple growth/momentum names pressed AH highs into the final 30–60 minutes (SOFI, ONDS, TTD, AMD, EQT), a setup that often favors early continuation the next session if index futures are benign.

Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Most likely to push higher: SOFI, EQT, AMD, ONDS, TTD, ACHV, AAOI
– Strongest bullish tells:
– ONDS: Persistent higher highs/higher lows across each 30-min block; closed near session highs (7.98).
– SOFI: Bid throughout AH with closes at/near highs; strong participation.
– EQT: Clear late-day breakout attempt toward 57 with bids holding above 56.6.
– TTD: Pressed AH high into the bell with buyers active on dips.
– AMD: Large-cap semi closed strong near AH highs; often sees follow-through.
– ACHV: Micro-cap stair-step higher with a volume uptick into the close.
– AAOI: Volatile pop toward 35+ suggests potential short-squeeze continuation if bids return.

Individual Stock Analysis
Note: With only one session’s 30-min/AH prints available, these levels are based on visible intraday supply/demand and common round-number pivots. Treat targets as near-term and update with full-session liquidity.

1) SOFI
– Key supports: 28.80; 28.60; 28.30
– Key resistances: 28.90–28.95; 29.20; 29.50
– 30-min read/prediction (2–3 days): If cash open holds above 28.80, look for an early push into 28.95–29.05, brief consolidation, then a second leg toward 29.20. Failure to hold 28.80 likely retests 28.60 before attempting another higher low.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 28.95–29.05; T2 29.20; stretch T3 29.50 if momentum/market bid persists.
– Entry ideas: Scale near 28.80–28.85 on a pullback that holds; add above 28.95 on strength.
– Stop-loss: 28.55 (beneath the 28.60 shelf); wider swing stop 28.25 if position smaller.

2) EQT
– Key supports: 56.65; 56.45; 56.20
– Key resistances: 57.06 (late-day H); 57.50; 58.20
– 30-min read/prediction (2–3 days): Holding 56.65 favors a quick retest of 57.06; a clean break/hold above 57 sets 57.50, then 58.00–58.20. Lose 56.45 and you likely see a deeper backfill toward 56.20 before another attempt.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 57.05–57.10; T2 57.50–57.70; T3 58.20 on strong energy tape.
– Entry ideas: Buy 56.65–56.75 pullback or 57.05 break/hold with tight risk.
– Stop-loss: 56.35 (beneath S2); conservative swing stop 56.15.

3) AMD
– Key supports: 240.50; 240.00; 239.20
– Key resistances: 241.00; 242.50; 245.00
– 30-min read/prediction (2–3 days): Above 240.50, look for a push to 241.00–241.50; continuation day could probe 242–242.50. If tech weakens, a flush to 240.00 that quickly reclaims often sets a better long.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 241.50; T2 242.50; stretch T3 245.00 on sector tailwinds.
– Entry ideas: 240.50–240.60 pullback buy; momentum add >241.10 with volume confirmation.
– Stop-loss: 239.90 (beneath whole number); wider 239.20 if sizing down.

4) TTD
– Key supports: 52.50; 52.30; 52.00
– Key resistances: 52.70 (AH H); 53.00; 53.50
– 30-min read/prediction (2–3 days): Prior AH strength suggests an early probe of 52.70–52.80; above that, 53.00 is a magnet. Failures near 52.70 likely backfill 52.50; sustained bids there keep the long setup intact.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 52.80–53.00; T2 53.30–53.50; stretch T3 54.00 if ad-tech momentum broadens.
– Entry ideas: Buy 52.50–52.55 pullback; breakout add >52.75 with rising 30-min volume.
– Stop-loss: 52.20; wider 51.95 if seeking a 1–2 day swing.

5) ONDS
– Key supports: 7.90; 7.80; 7.65
– Key resistances: 8.00; 8.20; 8.50
– 30-min read/prediction (2–3 days): Textbook grind higher into the AH close. Holding 7.90 favors a quick test of 8.00; a decisive break/hold above 8.00 opens 8.20 and possibly 8.40–8.50 on momentum.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 8.00; T2 8.20; stretch T3 8.50 if volume expands.
– Entry ideas: 7.88–7.92 buys on dips that hold; add through 8.02 with confirmation.
– Stop-loss: 7.78 initial; wider 7.62 below S3 if position smaller due to volatility.

6) ACHV
– Key supports: 5.00; 4.95; 4.90
– Key resistances: 5.06 (AH H); 5.20; 5.40
– 30-min read/prediction (2–3 days): Stair-step into close suggests buyers are probing higher. Above 5.06, expect 5.15–5.20; consolidation there sets up 5.35–5.40 if small-cap biotech flows heat up. Liquidity is thinner—use patience.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 5.10–5.20; T2 5.35; stretch T3 5.40–5.50 on a squeeze.
– Entry ideas: 5.00–5.02 pullback; momentum add >5.07.
– Stop-loss: 4.92 (beneath S2/S3 overlap); very tight traders can use 4.97.

7) AAOI
– Key supports: 34.80; 34.50; 34.00
– Key resistances: 35.08; 35.50; 36.50
– 30-min read/prediction (2–3 days): Volatile AH spike and fade. If it reclaims/holds 35.08 on volume, momentum can re-ignite toward 35.50 then 36+. Failure to reclaim 35 likely means chop between 34.80–35.00 before direction resolves.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 35.10–35.20; T2 35.50–35.70; stretch T3 36.50 on a continuation squeeze.
– Entry ideas: 34.80–34.90 support buy if it holds; breakout add >35.10 with rising volume.
– Stop-loss: 34.45 (beneath S2); conservative swing stop 33.95 due to volatility.

Additional notes and risk management
– Liquidity: Several names here printed thin AH volumes. Validate levels at cash open; let first 15–30 minutes set initial ranges before sizing up.
– Market context: Follow-through probabilities increase if index futures are stable/green and sector ETFs confirm (e.g., SOXX/SMH for semis, XOP/UNG proxies for energy, XLC/QQQ for growth).
– ATR/targets: Without a 30-day dataset, targets are anchored to nearby resistance zones and conservative extensions. Adjust your target ladders to your computed daily ATRs for each ticker.

If you want full 30-day and 10-day volume profile/ATR-derived levels, share that history and I’ll refine these zones and targets accordingly.
