Datetime range analyzed (EST): 2025-12-02 from 14:00 to 19:30. Note: Data provided covers late regular session and after-hours only (no full 30-day history). Commentary and levels lean on visible intraday/AH structure, liquidity zones, and momentum context.
Overall Sector and Industry Analysis:
– Semiconductors/Hardware (AMD, STX): Mixed. AMD faded slightly into the AH tape near 215.55 with consistent prints but no expansion. STX reversed a late-session dip (266.4 low) and impulsed to 271.0 in AH on decent prints, signaling dip-buying appetite and potential continuation if the 268.8–269.2 shelf holds.
– Consumer Discretionary/Retail (ANF, WOOF, HTZ): ANF quiet around 100 with no meaningful drive. WOOF slipped from 3.19 to 3.12 and stayed heavy—weak tape. HTZ thin but upticked into the close (5.17) versus earlier 5.13–5.14 prints; liquidity still light.
– Consumer Staples/Food (BRBR): Clear relative strength. Persistent bid from 29.5x through 30.89 high into close (30.85) on strong volume bursts—momentum-style closing drive.
– Fintech/Payments (AFRM): Stable AH consolidation at highs (67–67.40 band) with repeated taps on 67.40—a constructive setup into a potential breakout if market risk appetite holds.
– Energy (BTE): Range-bound 3.17–3.20; heavy supply into 3.20 with no chase—neutral.
– Metals/Gold (KGC): Pinned near session highs (27.84 prints clustered) with shallow pullbacks—typical of a persistent bid; constructive if gold stays firm.
– Renewables/Storage (FLNC): Higher-lows AH and a push to 20.20 before settling at 20.00—early signs of basing with a defined top-of-range.
– Healthcare services (PACS): High volatility. Spike to 32.85, then pullback to 31.71—momentum is present but whippy; needs tight risk controls.
– Biotech (KZIA, ANNX): KZIA saw sharp downside to sub-10 then minor bounce; risk-off, headline-sensitive profile. ANNX illiquid, pinned ~4.00–4.10—no signal.
– Industrials (B): Tight 41.03–41.11 box—no directional edge.
– Ad/Marketing (STGW): Quiet and tight—no momentum cue.
– Small-cap (PONY): Low-volume stair-step higher (14.21→14.25)—thin liquidity.
Notable trends/patterns:
– Momentum closes: BRBR (staples) and STX (semis) closed strong; AFRM coiled under level; PACS showed expansion and retrace; FLNC basing above 19.9.
– Weak retail/pet trade (WOOF) and range-bound energy (BTE) underperformers.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days):
Likely to go up:
– BRBR: Strong close above intraday range with volume, momentum continuation probable.
– STX: AH recovery from a selloff with buyers stepping in; room above 271 if it holds 268s.
– AFRM: Repeated 67.40 tests; a clean trigger above that level.
– PACS: Momentum spike with defined pullback; can re-test 32–32.4 if dips are bought.
– FLNC: Tight base, higher prints toward 20.20—breakout trigger over the AH high.
Strongest bullish signals: BRBR, STX. Secondary momentum candidates: AFRM, PACS, FLNC.
Individual Stock Analysis (1–3 day momentum plans)
BRBR
– Key support: 30.63; 30.40; 30.00.
– Key resistance: 30.90 (intraday high); 31.25; 31.50.
– 30-min price action view: Expect early probe of 30.90–31.00; ideal bull pattern is a higher low on 30-min above 30.40, then expansion to 31.2–31.5. Failure to hold 30.40 likely triggers a flush to 30.00 where buyers may re-engage.
– 1–3 day targets (ATR-style): 31.55 then 32.30 if momentum persists.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 30.45–30.65.
– Breakout add above 31.00 on volume.
– Stop-loss: Tight: 30.18; Wider swing: 29.95.
STX
– Key support: 268.80–269.20; 266.70; 266.40 (session low).
– Key resistance: 271.00 (AH high); 272.50; 275.00.
– 30-min price action view: Watch an opening back-test of 269–270. If that holds, a push through 271 opens 272.5 → 275. A loss of 268.8 likely revisits 266.5–266.4 where a decisive bounce or breakdown should present itself quickly.
– 1–3 day targets: 271.8–272.5 near-term; stretch 274.8–275.5 if semis stay bid.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 269.0–269.5 with confirmation.
– Momentum buy through 271.10 with expanding tape.
– Stop-loss: Below 268.40 (tight) or 266.30 (swing).
AFRM
– Key support: 67.00; 66.75; 66.50.
– Key resistance: 67.40; 67.80; 68.50.
– 30-min price action view: Coiling. A clean break and hold above 67.40 likely drives a trend day toward 67.8–68.1. Failure there suggests a quick retest of 67.00; bulls need to defend 66.75 to maintain structure.
– 1–3 day targets: 67.90 → 68.50 if 67.40 converts to support.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 67.05–67.15 with tight risk.
– Breakout buy >67.42 on rising volume.
– Stop-loss: 66.74 (tight) or 66.48 (wider swing).
PACS
– Key support: 31.55; 31.41; 31.00.
– Key resistance: 32.00; 32.38; 32.85 (spike high).
– 30-min price action view: Expect chop with wide bands. A reclaim/hold over 32.00 sets a path to 32.38; over that, a squeeze toward 32.8x. If it loses 31.55, risk of air-pocket to 31.00 before stabilization.
– 1–3 day targets: 32.05–32.40 near-term; 32.80–33.00 on a squeeze.
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 31.60–31.75 with confirmation.
– Reclaim-and-hold over 32.00 for momentum entry.
– Stop-loss: 31.35 (tight) or 30.95 (swing, under round number).
FLNC
– Key support: 19.88–19.91; 19.75; 19.50.
– Key resistance: 20.20 (AH high); 20.50; 21.00.
– 30-min price action view: Basing above 19.9 with higher prints late. A break over 20.20 should attract momentum buyers toward 20.50. If early dip to ~19.90 holds, expect a slow-grind breakout; loss of 19.88 risks a fade to 19.75.
– 1–3 day targets: 20.20 retest → 20.50; stretch 20.90–21.00 if flows improve.
– Entries:
– Buy 19.90–20.00 base holds.
– Add on breakout >20.22 with tape confirming.
– Stop-loss: 19.78 (tight) or 19.48 (wider, under base).
Additional quick watches (no full plan):
– KGC: Resistance 27.84/28.00; supports 27.70/27.65. A push through 27.84 could trend to 28.20–28.50 if gold stays bid.
– HTZ: Thin but firming into 5.17; needs 5.20–5.25 reclaim to matter.
– AMD: Firm but slightly heavy AH; strength resumes above 216.00–216.20.
Risk notes:
– The provided tape is late-day/AH only; use these levels as tactical, and reassess vs. premarket/next day opening range.
– For momentum trades, insist on volume confirmation through trigger levels and respect stops—particularly on PACS (high volatility) and small/mid-caps with thinner books.
