Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-09-29 14:30 to 19:30. Note: You provided late-day and after-hours 30-minute bars for this session. I emphasize this tape and contextualize with the prevailing 1–4 week structures typical for these names; confirm exact 30-day levels on your daily charts.
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
- Crypto miners/crypto-adjacent (MARA, CLSK, BITF, HUT, BKKT, NUKK): Accumulation tone into the after-hours. BITF showed a clean late 30-minute push with expanding volume (largest bar into 19:30), MARA/CLSK held higher lows. If BTC is flat-to-up, this group tends to lead early next session.
- Semis and storage (WDC, MRVL, AAOI): Constructive. WDC stair-stepped higher a/h with steady bids; MRVL held firm; AAOI closed strong into the final hour earlier in regular trading. This reads like ongoing rotation into chips/hardware after a brief consolidation.
- Software/application (WDAY, CFLT, BRZE, PATH): Mixed-to-weak. WDAY printed heavy distribution on the 15:30 bar and closed near the intraday low; CFLT saw sustained selling into 15:30; BRZE faded to 31.67 a/h. PATH was flat. This pocket is lagging short term.
- Biotech/health-tech (TVTX, CYTK, RXRX, MBOT, TEM, CLOV): Selective strength. TVTX pushed and held near/above 24 on strong late-day volume; CYTK firm around 54; RXRX slipped late; TEM drifted modestly lower. Expect stock-picking vs. broad beta here.
- Precious metals miners (NEM, HL, EQX): Stable to slightly bid late. Light a/h volumes but higher lows held; constructive if gold stays supported.
- Energy (APA, EQT, EOSE, SMR): EQT had high regular-session volume and held; APA steady; EOSE/SMR flat-to-soft a/h. Gas/E&P remain supported; SMR faded slightly.
- Consumer/retail (M, VNCE, DLTH, PTON, JMIA): Choppy and mostly illiquid a/h. No broad edge; treat as tactical only.
- Financials/brokers/mortgage (HOOD, RKT, OWL): RKT drifted higher a/h; HOOD flat; OWL saw heavy sell pressure into 15:30. Mixed tape.
Notable patterns
- Momentum bid favors hard-asset beta (miners—crypto and metals) and select semis/storage (BITF, MARA, CLSK, WDC, MRVL, AAOI).
- Software remains an overhang (WDAY, CFLT). Expect fade-the-rip behavior unless clear reclaim of intraday supply.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside continuation candidates:
- BITF, MARA, CLSK (crypto miners)
- WDC, MRVL (semis/storage)
- TVTX (biotech momentum)
Secondary watch: AAOI (optical), NEM (gold) if metals/USTs stay risk-off.
Strongest bullish signals now: BITF (late 30-minute volume expansion into highs), WDC (orderly a/h staircase), TVTX (late-day push on elevated volume).

Risk notes and execution
- Focus on names printing higher lows into the close with rising 30-minute volume (BITF, WDC, TVTX). Those have the best odds for an opening drive or first-hour trend.
- If the group/sector leader fails (e.g., BTC pulls back sharply), de-risk miners as a basket; use basket stops.
- Respect liquidity: some a/h prints were thin; execute during regular hours near your levels.
Summary of likely upside (next 2–3 days): BITF, MARA, CLSK, WDC, MRVL, TVTX (strongest: BITF, WDC, TVTX).
