Overall Sector and Industry Analysis
Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-10-16 14:00 to 19:30. Note: The dataset provided only covers late regular hours and after-hours prints from this single session. In lieu of full 30-day and 10-day histories, the analysis emphasizes late-day momentum and after-hours tape — key drivers of 1–3 day swing moves.
- Technology (software/infrastructure and networking): Relative strength. Confluent (CFLT) surged into the close on heavy volume and held most gains after-hours (22.55 RTH high; held 22.30–22.50 AH). Arista Networks (ANET) printed and held near session highs (145.99) with tight after-hours action — constructive for continuation. CrowdStrike (CRWD) was mixed, net-flat.
- Semiconductors: Soft. Marvell (MRVL) faded progressively AH (87.88 → 87.13). UMC slipped intra-AH before a modest bounce.
- EV/Clean energy: Weak. Plug Power (PLUG) and Ballard Power (BLDP) trended lower into/through AH; XPEV was flat-to-choppy.
- Biopharma/Medtech: Mixed with selective strength. ClearPoint Neuro (CLPT) broke out late AH to 25.41 — the tape’s most notable late-day thrust. Recursion (RXRX) sold off steadily; AbCellera (ABCL) drifted lower; AstraZeneca (AZN) was stable.
- Materials/Resources: Mixed. Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) flat/slightly weak; NexGen Energy (NXE) faded below 9.00 late.
- Financials/Insurance: Brighthouse (BHF) choppy with a recovery to 45.20 AH.
- Consumer/Entertainment: AMC edged lower and stayed range-bound.
Noticeable patterns
– Late-day momentum and AH holding were concentrated in software/infrastructure and select medtech: CFLT, ANET, CLPT.
– High-beta themes (clean energy, smaller-cap growth) broadly faded into the close and AH (PLUG, BLDP, RXRX).
– Names closing near highs with tight AH ranges have better odds of 1–3 day continuation in this tape.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Likely upside candidates
– CFLT, ANET, CLPT, IDAI (speculative micro-cap)
Strongest bullish signals
– CLPT: Clear late AH breakout to new session high with follow-through.
– CFLT: Heavy late-day volume push, AH holds above key intraday pivots.
– ANET: Tight hold just under the high; constructive for a push through 146+.
Individual Stock Analysis
Important note on levels: Without 30-day daily candles, support/resistance and zones are inferred from today’s late RTH and AH prints plus nearby round/psychological levels (used as proxies for obvious daily supply/demand).
1) CFLT
– Key supports: 22.30 (AH pivot), 22.20–22.22 (15:30 bar low area), 22.12 (post-close print)
– Key resistances: 22.50–22.55 (RTH high/supply), 22.80 (psych level), 23.00 (round number)
– 30-minute price action outlook (2–3 days): Expect an early back-test of 22.20–22.30. If buyers defend, look for a push through 22.55 and a trend day toward 22.80; a strong tape could tag 23.00 within 1–3 sessions.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 22.55, 22.80, stretch 23.00
– Entry ideas: Scale in 22.20–22.30 on pullbacks; add on a clean 22.55 break with volume.
– Stop-loss: Tight below 22.10 (beneath intraday shelf); conservative below 22.00 to avoid wick-outs.
–
2) ANET
– Key supports: 145.20 (AH low), 145.12 (last pullback low), 145.00 (psych level)
– Key resistances: 145.80 (AH supply), 145.99–146.00 (session high/round), 146.50 (next psych/supply)
– 30-minute price action outlook (2–3 days): Look for a narrow open and quick retest of 145.20–145.40. Hold there and a grind through 146.00 opens 146.50 and possibly 147.00 if momentum broadens in tech.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 146.00, 146.50, stretch 147.00
– Entry ideas: Buy 145.20–145.40 pullbacks; momentum add on 146.00 break/hold.
– Stop-loss: Below 144.90 (beneath round and recent shelf).
–
3) CLPT
– Key supports: 25.10 (post-pullback bid), 24.76–24.75 (AH/RTH demand shelf), 24.50 (psych level)
– Key resistances: 25.41 (AH breakout high), 25.75 (intermediate psych/supply), 26.00 (round number)
– 30-minute price action outlook (2–3 days): After a strong AH thrust, look for digestion toward 25.00–25.10. A higher low above 24.75 sets a retest of 25.41; breakout could accelerate to 25.75 and 26.00 within 1–3 sessions if volume persists.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 25.41, 25.75, stretch 26.00
– Entry ideas: Buy 25.00–25.10 pullbacks; add on 25.41 break with expanding volume.
– Stop-loss: Below 24.70 (beneath shelf).
–
4) IDAI (speculative)
– Key supports: 3.36–3.33 (late RTH demand), 3.30 (round), 3.28 (session base)
– Key resistances: 3.375 (late-day high), 3.41 (next supply), 3.46 (session high), 3.50 (round)
– 30-minute price action outlook (2–3 days): Expect a pullback retest of 3.33–3.36. Hold there and a push to 3.38–3.41 is likely; momentum extension can probe 3.46 and possibly 3.50 in a hot tape. Liquidity is light — expect volatility.
– Swing targets (1–3 days): 3.41, 3.46, stretch 3.50
– Entry ideas: Scale 3.33–3.36; momentum add through 3.38–3.41 on volume.
– Stop-loss: Below 3.27 (beneath session low).

Risk management and notes
– Given limited historical context, prioritize intraday confirmation (opening range hold, volume expansion on breaks).
– Scale entries at support; avoid chasing failed breaks. Respect stops, especially in thinly traded names (IDAI, CLPT).
– If the open rejects key supports (e.g., CFLT below 22.10, ANET below 145.00), fade the long bias and wait for basing.
If you can share 30 days of daily OHLCV and 10–30 days of 30-minute bars, I’ll refine levels with proper daily supply/demand zones and ATR-calibrated targets.
