Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window reviewed: 2025-11-17, 13:30 to 19:30 EST)
Scope note: The dataset contains intraday 30-minute bars for 11/17 only (plus a few after-hours prints). With no full 30-day history provided, the commentary emphasizes the most recent session’s price/volume behavior and likely 1–3 day momentum carry-through. Daily zones are inferred from prominent intraday pivots and round-number supply/demand areas.
- Energy and oilfield services
- Strength: HAL pushed from 26.40 to 27.00 into after-hours with a late-day volume uptick. APA held above 24.30 and firmed into the close. This suggests rotation into energy services and select E&Ps.
- Tickers: HAL (strong), APA (steady).
- Software/Cloud/AI
- Mixed, with selective momentum: CFLT powered higher from 22.29 to 22.75 on heavy late-day volume; TOST advanced and closed/printed at the high (34.80) into AH. PLTR softened late.
- Tickers: CFLT (strong), TOST (strong), PLTR (soft), CWAN (steady), ZETA (soft).
- Semiconductors/Optics
- Broad softness after-hours: AMD, INTC, QCOM, COHR, AXTI eased in AH; no signs of aggressive dip buying yet.
- Tickers: AMD, INTC, QCOM, COHR, AXTI (soft).
- Crypto complex (exchanges and miners)
- Weak/tired tape in AH: COIN faded 264→261.4; miners WULF, IREN, GLXY all drifted lower. Short-term momentum has cooled.
- Tickers: COIN, WULF, IREN, GLXY (weak).
- Medical devices/Medtech and Biotech
- Mixed: Large-caps EW/GMED slipped; mid/small-cap medtech/biotech pockets showed bid—MIR climbed into the close (and printed 24.74 AH), ABEO pushed to 4.68 into the close, ARDX held gains.
- Tickers: MIR (strong), ABEO (strong), ARDX (firm), EW/GMED (soft).
- Consumer/Internet/Fintech
- Mostly soft to flat: AMZN faded AH; HOOD and AFRM were flat-to-lower; RIVN range-bound.
- Tickers: AMZN, HOOD, AFRM, RIVN (soft/neutral).
- Small-cap outliers
- GCI had a late-day volume pop and higher close; POLA firmed late.
- Tickers: GCI (constructive), POLA (firm).
Patterns to note
– Late-day accumulation: CFLT, TOST, MIR, HAL all showed higher highs/higher lows into the 15:30–16:00 window and held gains into AH—often a precursor to day-2 continuation.
– Risk-off in beta tech and crypto post-market: AMD/INTC/QCOM/COIN/crypto miners all eased—near-term drag on broad risk appetite, but selective strength persists in energy and chosen software/medtech names.
– Round-number magnets: Several tapes pinned near psychological levels into AH (TOST ~34.80, CFLT 22.75, HAL 27.00), creating clean breakout/failed-breakout setups for 1–3 day swings.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
– Likely upside candidates (strongest bullish signals from the 30-minute structure and late-day volume):
– CFLT: Late-day surge on high volume; closed at session highs and printed AH at highs.
– TOST: Trend up day, closed/printed at highs; clean 35.00 magnet above.
– HAL: Persistent ramp into the close/AH; energy rotation tailwind.
– MIR: Higher highs into the close; AH print above R1 suggests follow-through potential.
– ABEO: Strong push to new session highs into the close; tight risk with clear levels.

Additional notes
– For names that weakened AH (AMD, INTC, QCOM, COIN, WULF, IREN, PLTR, AMZN), expect overhead supply on the first bounce. They can flip constructive if they reclaim AH breakdown levels on rising 30-minute volume.
– Liquidity: Several AH prints were thin; execute entries during regular hours and use limit orders around support zones.
– Risk: Size positions so a stop just beyond S1 or S2 equates to your planned R. When chasing breakouts, favor retest entries to reduce slippage.
