Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range reviewed (EST): 2025-12-22 from 14:00 to 19:30, including end-of-day and after-hours prints, across all tickers provided. Note: The full prior 30-day history was not included in the data; commentary emphasizes the most recent session and late-day 30-minute bars with an extra focus on the last 10 intraday bars when available.
Cross-sector read:
– REITs/Real Estate (MPW, DBRG): Showed late-day strength. MPW pressed to session highs into the 16:00 print (5.15) after heavy 15:30 volume. DBRG popped strongly into the 15:30 bar to 13.07 and held above 13 after-hours with very light prints. REITs here looked bid on dips with accumulation late.
– Utilities (HE): Persistent bid into the close (11.59→11.76 intraday highs, closed 11.72). Volume expanded at 15:30. Utilities tape looked constructive and defensive buying was evident.
– Software/SaaS/Cyber (OKTA, PATH, BRZE): Mixed. OKTA held 91 area with a small after-hours push toward 91.30; constructive. PATH was range-bound ~16.77–16.84 with steady AH prints; neutral-to-slightly-bullish if it reclaims 16.84. BRZE faded into the close and then printed lower after-hours (35.76), showing relative weakness among software.
– Health/biotech (OSCR, WVE, PETS, NRXS): Divergent. WVE stair-stepped higher AH to 18.20 with successive higher highs; constructive. OSCR drifted lower AH (15.07→15.04), weak. PETS bled lower into close/AH. NRXS thin, slightly higher into last print (3.98) but liquidity sparse.
– Consumer/Travel/Media (NCLH, OMC): NCLH stable around 24.20–24.25; neutral. OMC slightly heavy with end-of-day fade and flat AH prints; neutral-to-weak.
– Energy/Clean tech (FCEL): Volatile AH—dipped to 8.52–8.60 zone then a high print at 8.79; thin AH liquidity but potential squeeze behavior if bids firm above 8.70s.
– Misc small/micro caps (LUNR, WBUY, FLG): LUNR sold off late and held lower AH; weak. WBUY illiquid. FLG saw a 15:30 distribution bar and closed at the lows; weak.
Notable patterns in the last 10 bars where present:
– Broad 15:30 ET participation spike across many names (MPW, HE, DBRG, OMC, FLG, COO), often a decision bar. Stood out: MPW and DBRG closed well relative to that bar; COO and FLG sold off into/after that bar (risk-off in those).
– AH buyers stepped into WVE and maintained higher lows, suggesting momentum continuation if the regular session confirms.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely to go up (bullish bias, barring market gap risk):
– MPW, HE, WVE, DBRG, OKTA
Strongest bullish signals today:
– WVE: successive AH higher highs and closes, finishing on strength near 18.20.
– MPW: new high print into the 16:00 close with heavy participation at 15:30 and holding.
– HE: steady grind higher into the close with expanding late-day volume.
– DBRG: impulsive push to 13.07 and held above 13 after-hours.
– OKTA: constructive hold near 91 and AH tests toward 91.30.
Individual Stock Analysis
MPW (Medical Properties Trust)
– Key support: 5.07–5.08 (VWAP/late-session base), 5.05, 4.98–5.00 zone
– Key resistance: 5.12–5.15 (closing/AH high), 5.20, 5.30
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days): Prefer continuation if first drive over 5.15 holds with rising 30-min volume. Expect a pullback retest toward 5.08–5.12 early, then an attempt at 5.20–5.30. Failure back under 5.05 turns it into a range again.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 5.20, T2 5.28–5.30, stretch 5.40 if momentum picks up.
– Entry ideas: Staggered entries 5.10–5.12 on a shallow dip; or breakout add above 5.16 with volume.
– Stop-loss: Tight 4.99 (below whole-dollar and S2); conservative 4.95 if position sizing allows.
–
HE (Hawaiian Electric)
– Key support: 11.65–11.68, 11.60, 11.55
– Key resistance: 11.76–11.78 (intraday high zone), 11.85, 12.00
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days): Trend continuation if first hour holds above 11.68 and reclaims 11.76 with rising volume. Expect a consolidation day then push toward 11.85–12.00 if utilities bid persists.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 11.85, T2 11.95, stretch 12.10.
– Entry ideas: Buy pullbacks 11.66–11.70 with a tight risk; add on 11.78 breakout.
– Stop-loss: 11.58 (below S2), or 11.54 for added room.
–
WVE (Wave Life Sciences)
– Key support: 18.00–18.05, 17.90, 17.70
– Key resistance: 18.20 (AH high), 18.35–18.40, 18.70
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days): Momentum continuation favored if RTH opens above 18.00 and takes 18.20 early with expanding 30-min volume. Expect quick tests toward 18.35–18.40; consolidation likely before any 18.70 probe.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 18.35–18.40, T2 18.65–18.70, stretch 19.00 on a squeeze.
– Entry ideas: Buy-the-dip near 18.00–18.05; or breakout above 18.22 with volume confirmation.
– Stop-loss: 17.84 (below S2 and round), more conservative 17.68.
–
DBRG (DigitalBridge)
– Key support: 12.87–12.90, 12.80, 12.65
– Key resistance: 13.07 (spike high), 13.20, 13.40
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days): Healthy if it bases above 12.90 and reclaims 13.07; look for a measured move toward 13.20 then 13.40. Loss of 12.80 risks a fade back into prior range.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 13.20, T2 13.35–13.40, stretch 13.60 on strong REIT tape.
– Entry ideas: Accumulate 12.90–12.95; add through 13.08 with volume.
– Stop-loss: 12.74 (below S2), or 12.62 for added room.
–
OKTA (Okta)
– Key support: 90.37–90.40 (late bar low), 90.00, 89.50
– Key resistance: 91.20–91.30 (session/AH highs), 92.00, 93.00
– 30-minute outlook (2–3 days): Constructive if 90.40–90.60 holds; look for a push over 91.30 to unlock 92.00. If software risk tone improves, a second-day follow-through toward 93.00 is plausible. Lose 90.00 and it likely reverts to range.
– 1–3 day swing targets: T1 91.80–92.00, T2 92.80, stretch 93.50.
– Entry ideas: Buy 90.50–90.70 pullbacks; breakout add above 91.35 with volume > prior 30-min average.
– Stop-loss: 89.90 (below S2/psychological level).
–
Secondary watch (momentum but thinner confirmation)
FCEL
– Setup: AH volatility with a late 8.79 print. Needs confirmation in RTH above 8.70–8.74 to avoid an AH head fake.
– Levels: Support 8.60, 8.55, 8.52; Resistance 8.79, 8.95, 9.10.
– Consider only with tight risk and momentum confirmation above 8.80.
–
Risk notes and execution
– Many symbols showed decision volume at 15:30 ET. Use that bar’s high/low as a micro compass for the next session—continuation above the 15:30 high with rising 30-min volume favors momentum entries; rejection back below the 15:30 low argues patience.
– Liquidity filters: Prefer names with steady intraday liquidity (MPW, HE, OKTA, DBRG). Treat thin AH moves (e.g., WVE pops) as directional hints, not standalone signals; confirm on RTH open.
– If the broader market opens risk-off, prioritize defensive setups (HE) and reduce size on beta-sensitive picks.
If you can share the prior 30 days of daily candles and volume, I can refine daily ATR-based targets and validate higher time frame supply/demand zones precisely.
