Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range (EST) analyzed: 2025-11-24 14:00 to 19:30. Note: Only this afternoon and after-hours window was provided; 10–30 day context isn’t present in the dataset, so commentary focuses on the latest 30-minute price/volume action and how that typically sets up 1–3 day swings.
- Utilities (AEP): Strongest momentum on the tape. AEP exploded into the 15:30 bar on big volume (1.53M), printed a new intraday high at 122.80, then settled just under 122. That “thrust then shallow pullback” profile often continues if the next session opens above the prior close.
- Tech/software (AKAM, DBX, TOST): Mixed. AKAM had a high-volume late selloff to 88s but showed after-hours recovery back to ~89.44—possible short-term reversal setup. DBX attempted 30.01, was rejected, and faded into the close—supply overhead. TOST drifted higher after-hours toward 33.72—constructive, albeit light volume.
- Consumer staples (WMT): Compressed, narrow AH range near 104.25–104.40; no directional edge from this tape alone.
- Financials/Payments (WU): Firm close at session highs near 8.40 with strong 15:30 flow—basing just under breakout territory.
- Energy (APA) and Materials/Uranium (DNN): Illiquid after-hours and flat—no read.
- EV/Auto (RIVN) and Tires (GT): Quiet, tightly ranged—no momentum signal from this snippet.
- Batteries/Clean tech (SLDP): Tight coil 5.15–5.19 with repeated tests of 5.18–5.19—setups like this can pop if buyers step in on the open.
- Healthcare/MedTech (EW, ORGO): EW was range-bound with a late volume spike but no breakout; ORGO trended up into 15:30 on strong volume, then printed a lower after-hours mark (5.3198), a mixed signal.
Noticeable patterns:
– Afternoon momentum thrust in Utilities (AEP) and steady closes at HOD for selective Financials (WU).
– In Tech, “sell then AH rebound” in AKAM suggests a short-term mean reversion setup, while DBX remains supply-constrained under 30.
– Multiple names showing tight after-hours coils (SLDP, TOST), which can fuel next-day range expansion.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to go up:
– AEP (Utilities): Strong volume thrust and fresh intraday high point to continuation if 121.9–122.1 holds.
– AKAM (Tech): Reversal candidate—heavy selloff into the close, AH bounce; a push through 89.6–90 could squeeze shorts.
– WU (Financials): Firm base at 8.35–8.40 with a strong close; modest breakout setup.
– TOST (Software): AH strength toward 33.72; a clean level to trigger above.
– SLDP (Batteries): Tight coil under 5.19; potential micro-breakout candidate.
Strongest bullish signals: AEP (momentum + volume), WU (strong close at highs), TOST (clean trigger just overhead). AKAM is bullish as a reversal setup (higher risk).
Individual Stock Analysis
AEP
– Key support: 121.00–121.10; 121.55; 121.95 (prior close/pivot).
– Key resistance: 122.05–122.10; 122.80 (HOD); 123.50 (round-number extension).
– 2–3 day outlook (30-min read): If price holds above 121.9–122.1 on the open, look for a push to retest 122.8; sustained strength could extend toward 123.5. Failure to reclaim 122 quickly risks a dip to 121.5.
– Entry ideas: Pullback buy 121.50–121.80 or reclaim/hold >122.10 after first hour.
– Initial stops: 120.90 (below demand); tighter traders: 121.30 if using the 122 reclaim trigger.
– 1–3 day targets: 122.05, 122.80, 123.50 (use your recent ATR to refine; numbers align with nearby supply).
–
AKAM
– Key support: 87.50–87.60 (late-session low); 88.34 (close); 88.50 (AH pivot).
– Key resistance: 89.56 (prior intraday high); 90.00; 90.50.
– 2–3 day outlook: A higher open that holds 88.5–88.8 sets up a squeeze through 89.6 toward 90–90.5. Lose 88.3 and the reversal thesis weakens.
– Entry ideas: Buy pullback 88.60–88.90 with strength; or breakout add through 89.60 after a base.
– Initial stops: 87.40–87.70 (beneath the spike low); tighter: under 88.30 if using a breakout entry.
– 1–3 day targets: 89.60, 90.20, 90.80.
–
WU
– Key support: 8.35; 8.32–8.33; 8.25.
– Key resistance: 8.42 (AH print/near HOD); 8.50; 8.60.
– 2–3 day outlook: Holding 8.35 on the open favors a grind to 8.42 and a measured breakout toward 8.50; momentum extension could tag 8.60 if volume expands.
– Entry ideas: Buy near 8.35–8.37 support; or breakout through 8.42 with volume.
– Initial stops: 8.31 (beneath base); swing stop: 8.24.
– 1–3 day targets: 8.42, 8.50, 8.60.
–
TOST
– Key support: 33.40–33.45; 33.20; 32.90.
– Key resistance: 33.72 (AH high/trigger); 34.00; 34.40.
– 2–3 day outlook: A clean move through 33.72 can open 34.00, then 34.40 if risk-on persists. Failure at 33.72 likely retraces toward 33.40.
– Entry ideas: Buy the breakout >33.72 after a 15–30 min base; or buy a controlled pullback 33.45–33.55 with higher lows on 30-min.
– Initial stops: 33.20 (below support); tighter: just under 33.40 on a breakout fail.
– 1–3 day targets: 33.72, 34.00, 34.40.
–
SLDP
– Key support: 5.15; 5.12; 5.05.
– Key resistance: 5.19–5.20; 5.28; 5.40.
– 2–3 day outlook: Coiling beneath 5.19; a decisive break/hold above 5.20 can push into 5.28 and possibly 5.40 on momentum. Lose 5.15 and it likely revisits 5.05.
– Entry ideas: Buy 5.16–5.17 risk-defined vs 5.12; add on break/hold above 5.20 with volume.
– Initial stops: 5.09–5.12 (beneath coil).
– 1–3 day targets: 5.20, 5.28, 5.40.

Notes and risk management
– ATR-based targeting: Since multi-day data wasn’t provided, targets are aligned to nearby supply zones and round-number extensions. If you track ATR, size targets to 1.0–1.5x recent daily ATR from your platform.
– Liquidity: Several prints are after-hours with thin volume; trigger confirmations should favor regular-session breaks with volume expansion.
– If you can share the last 30 trading days (30-min or daily bars), I can refine sector breadth, confirm 10-day volume trends, and tighten levels/targets further.
