Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST range analyzed: 2025-10-29 15:30 to 19:30)
Note: The dataset provided is after-hours 30-minute prints for 10/29 only, so 30-day/10-day context is limited. Signals below are short-term and should be confirmed on the next regular session open.
- AI/Software and Data: BBAI led with steady higher highs/lows and rising into the close (6.90 tap), showing the clearest momentum. RXRX was range-bound near 5.80–5.86 with no follow-through. TOST chopped without direction. Net: rotational interest is focused on smaller-cap AI (BBAI) over biotech-AI (RXRX).
- Industrial/IoT and Telecom: ONDS trended up bar-by-bar (6.54 → 6.69), closing near highs—constructive for continuation. LUMN faded intrahour and struggled to reclaim 11.02, suggesting supply overhead.
- Energy/Transition: Mixed. FCEL and EOSE were tight and indecisive; BE traded steady with little range expansion; EU saw a notable closing-cross spike earlier (15:30) but no follow-through after-hours.
- Consumer/Media: WMT pinned to 102.40–102.55 (institutional equilibrium); DNUT ticked down late; WBD balanced and range-bound. TOST’s late pop faded back to the midpoint—no clear edge.
- Financials/Infra: BAC was tightly held (52.53–52.60). LC was marked down to 17.01 after-hours on thin prints; DBRG illiquid.
- Transportation and EV: DAL was parked. TSLA coiled tightly (458.4–459.7), holding bids and repeatedly testing the top of range—often a precursor to a break if futures stay supportive.
Noticeable patterns
– Clear after-hours momentum: ONDS, BBAI. Both printed higher highs/lows and closed near range tops.
– Coils near resistance: TSLA (persistent tests of 459.4–459.7), a common setup for early-session breakout attempts.
– Flat/indecisive tape: large caps (WMT, BAC) and several small caps (EOSE, FCEL, RXRX) showed no meaningful range expansion.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 days)
Most constructive for upside follow-through:
– ONDS – strongest trend profile into the AH close; buyers defended higher lows all session.
– BBAI – sustained grind up with a late push to the session high; poised for a 6.90+ breakout attempt.
– TSLA – tight coil under resistance; repeated taps increase odds of a quick test above 459.7 on open.
– CRML – defended 11.45–11.50 repeatedly and closed near the upper half; a push through 11.58 could open a measured move.
Highlight: Strongest bullish signals today came from ONDS and BBAI (clean higher-high/higher-low AH structures and closes near the highs).
Individual Stock Analysis (setups for likely upside names)
ONDS
– Key supports (daily-dominant zones from today’s structure):
– 6.60
– 6.57 (demand zone start)
– 6.54 (demand zone lower bound)
– Key resistances:
– 6.69 (AH high)
– 6.75 (round/likely supply)
– 6.84 (measured move ≈ AH high + AH range)
– 30-min price action outlook (next 2–3 sessions):
– Bias: Continuation. Early pullback into 6.60–6.62 that holds bids can spring a 6.69–6.75 breakout.
– 1–3 day swing targets (using AH range ≈ 0.15 as a proxy):
– T1: 6.75
– T2: 6.84 (≈ +1R)
– T3: 6.95–7.00 (stretch if momentum persists)
– Entries:
– Pullback buy: 6.60–6.62
– Breakout buy: >6.70–6.71 with a quick retest that holds
– Stop-loss:
– Conservative: below 6.57
– Tighter momentum stop: below 6.60 after breakout holds
BBAI
– Key supports:
– 6.83–6.85
– 6.81
– 6.80 (round)
– Key resistances:
– 6.90 (AH high)
– 6.95
– 7.03–7.10 (≈ +1–2R from AH range ≈ 0.09)
– 30-min price action outlook:
– Bias: Breakout favored. A firm bid above 6.85 should lead to a 6.90 test; acceptance >6.90 opens 6.95/7.00 swiftly.
– 1–3 day swing targets:
– T1: 6.95
– T2: 7.03 (≈ +1R)
– T3: 7.12 (≈ +2R, if tape broadens)
– Entries:
– Pullback buy: 6.82–6.85
– Breakout buy: >6.90 with retest holding ~6.88–6.90
– Stop-loss:
– Below 6.80 (invalidates AH base)
TSLA
– Key supports:
– 458.50
– 458.40 (AH low)
– 458.00 (round)
– Key resistances:
– 459.40
– 459.68 (AH high)
– 460.50–461.00 (next supply/rounds; ≈ +1R from AH)
– 30-min price action outlook:
– Bias: Coil resolution. Early push above 459.68 can target 460.5–461 quickly; fade risk if it fails and loses 458.5.
– 1–3 day swing targets (AH range ≈ 1.28):
– T1: 460.50
– T2: 461.00 (≈ +1R from 459.7)
– T3: 462.00 (stretch if market tailwind)
– Entries:
– Pullback buy: 458.60–458.80
– Breakout buy: >459.70 with volume confirmation
– Stop-loss:
– Below 458.30 (loss of coil low); tighter traders can use 458.50 depending on fill
CRML
– Key supports:
– 11.49–11.50
– 11.45
– 11.41–11.43 (demand zone)
– Key resistances:
– 11.53–11.55
– 11.58 (AH high)
– 11.65–11.75 (measured move/next supply)
– 30-min price action outlook:
– Bias: Constructive. A hold above 11.49 should lead to 11.58 retest; acceptance >11.58 opens a measured move toward mid-11.6s–11.7s.
– 1–3 day swing targets (AH range ≈ 0.17):
– T1: 11.65
– T2: 11.75 (≈ +1R from 11.58)
– T3: 11.90 (stretch if momentum persists)
– Entries:
– Pullback buy: 11.47–11.50
– Breakout buy: >11.58 with a tight retest hold
– Stop-loss:
– Below 11.43 (beneath demand zone)
Risk management and confirmation
– After-hours signals often need validation on the next session’s opening range and volume. If the open gaps far beyond the outlined entries, wait for a retest into the nearest support before engaging.
– If broader market futures reverse overnight, prioritize preservation and let the first 15–30 minutes set the tone before acting.
Other notes
– WMT, BAC: institutionally pinned—watch for breakouts only on unusual volume.
– RXRX, EOSE, FCEL: no clear AH edge; wait for regular-session range breaks.
– LUMN weak: avoid longs unless it reclaims and holds above 11.05 with volume.
