Overall Sector and Industry Analysis (EST window analyzed: 2026-02-04 14:00 to 19:30)
Note: The dataset provided covers late regular-hours into after-hours on 2026-02-04 rather than a full 30-day history. The commentary below emphasizes the most recent session’s price/volume behavior (the most actionable for a 1–3 day momentum swing) and infers near-term context from that action.
- Semiconductors/hardware mixed-to-bullish:
- Strength: ALGM ramped on rising volume and closed strong near the day’s upper range; WDC pushed back to the AH highs into the 19:30 bar. Both signal demand into the close.
- Weakness: TSM slipped steadily AH, suggesting some rotation away from mega-cap semis toward select mid-caps (ALGM) and storage (WDC).
- China tech/data center and ADRs firm:
- VNET ripped through the 10.00 pivot with multiple high-volume 30-min bars and held above 10.20. BABA also stair-stepped higher AH. That’s constructive for near-term follow-through in China services/data center names.
- Biotech/health skewed positive:
- NEOG trended higher in a steady staircase with a volume spike at 15:30, then printed higher AH. GLUE pushed to session highs late with a clear volume expansion. NTLA and RXRX were quiet/sideways; NVO drifted higher and held most gains.
- Crypto miners soft: RIOT bled lower throughout AH — risk-off in miners short term.
- Materials/metals steady: AG ticked up and faded slightly — no directional edge yet.
- Space/alt-comm steady: RKLB slightly higher and held; ASTS range-bound — constructive but not explosive.
- Other tech/cyber and comms flat: FTNT, LUMN, IBM, DECK largely unchanged AH; RKT, VG, GLW, CATX saw light liquidity and minor prints.
Bottom line: Late-day money flow favored select semis/storage (ALGM, WDC), China data/tech (VNET), and select biotech/health (NEOG, GLUE). Crypto miners lagged (RIOT). This favors momentum continuations in the former groups over the next 1–3 sessions if early pullbacks are bought.
Ticker Performance Prediction (next 2–3 trading days)
Likely upside candidates (strongest first):
– VNET, ALGM, NEOG, GLUE, WDC, PL
Strong bullish signals highlighted:
– VNET: High-volume breakout and hold above 10.00 with tight closing consolidation.
– ALGM: Persistent bid with rising late-day volume, close near HOD zone.
– NEOG: Stair-step advance, volume expansion into close, AH print higher.
– GLUE: Late push to session highs on a clear volume spike.
– WDC: Bought back to AH highs into the final bar — suggests a possible continuation.
– PL: AH close at session high, tight range — setup for a simple 22.00 test.
Individual Stock Analysis (key levels, entries, stops, and 1–3 day path)
VNET
– Supports (demand):
– 10.20–10.27 (late-session base/close zone)
– 10.14–10.15 (15:30 low)
– 10.00 (round-number pivot)
– Resistances (supply):
– 10.38 (session high)
– 10.60 (first extension)
– 10.90 (next extension)
– 2–3 day path (30-min read): Expect an early pullback to 10.20–10.27. If buyers hold, a push through 10.38 opens 10.60; strong tape/volume could extend toward 10.90 within 1–3 days. If 10.20 fails, look for a 10.00 retest before any attempt higher.
– 1–3 day targets: 10.38, 10.60, 10.90 (using ~0.60 intraday range as a proxy for short-term ATR).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 10.22–10.27
– Add/alt: 10.05–10.10 deeper dip
– Momentum: on break/hold above 10.38
– Stops:
– Tight: 9.98 (below 10 pivot)
– Wider/swing: 9.72 (below session low)
–
ALGM
– Supports:
– 38.05–38.10 (late base)
– 37.68–37.70 (15:00 spike low)
– 37.35–37.40 (early-session low)
– Resistances:
– 38.38–38.45 (supply from 14:30 and 15:30)
– 38.56 (HOD)
– 39.00–39.10 (round-number magnet)
– 2–3 day path: Initial test of 38.00–38.10. Hold -> break 38.56 to target 38.90–39.00. If it flags above ~38.40, day 2 can extend toward 39.40–39.60. Lose 37.70 and momentum likely pauses.
– 1–3 day targets: 38.56, 38.90–39.00, 39.40–39.60 (short-term ATR proxy ~1.2).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 38.10–38.20
– Breakout add above 38.56 on volume
– Stops:
– Tight: 37.88
– Swing: 37.60 (below spike low)
–
NEOG
– Supports:
– 10.48–10.50 (micro demand)
– 10.42–10.44 (14:30 close/acceptance)
– 10.38 (session base)
– Resistances:
– 10.58–10.60 (HOD/AH print)
– 10.75 (next supply)
– 11.00 (psych)
– 2–3 day path: Look for a higher-low around 10.48–10.52, then a measured push above 10.60. Acceptance >10.60 targets 10.75; continued strength can magnet 11.00 within 1–3 days. Lose 10.38 and momentum likely stalls into a range.
– 1–3 day targets: 10.60, 10.75, 10.95–11.00 (intraday range proxy ~0.20).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 10.48–10.52
– Breakout add >10.60 with confirmation
– Stops:
– Tight: 10.36
– Swing: 10.28 (below session base)
–
GLUE
– Supports:
– 19.30–19.35 (late base)
– 19.20 (intraday support)
– 19.10 (session low)
– Resistances:
– 19.69 (session high)
– 20.00 (psych)
– 20.40–20.50 (next likely supply)
– 2–3 day path: Early dip toward 19.30–19.35 likely gets tested; if absorbed, a push through 19.69 targets 20.00 and potentially 20.40–20.50 on continuation. Failure under 19.20 invites a full 19.10 retest first.
– 1–3 day targets: 19.70, 20.00, 20.40–20.50 (intraday range proxy ~0.60).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 19.30–19.38
– Breakout add above 19.70
– Stops:
– Tight: 19.18
– Swing: 19.04 (below session low)
–
WDC
– Supports:
– 273.00 (round/pivot)
– 272.35 (19:00 low)
– 272.02 (18:00 low)
– Resistances:
– 275.85 (AH high)
– 277.00
– 280.00 (psych)
– 2–3 day path: Constructive if early pullbacks to 273–273.8 are bought; a breakout/hold >275.9 points to 277, then 280 over 1–3 days. Lose 272.0 and the move likely resets.
– 1–3 day targets: 276.0, 278.5, 280.5–282.0 (short-term range proxy ~3.8–4.0).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 273.20–273.80
– Breakout add >275.90 with volume
– Stops:
– Tight: 271.90
– Swing: 270.80
–
PL
– Supports:
– 21.70–21.71 (late base)
– 21.61–21.64 (session floor)
– 21.50 (psych)
– Resistances:
– 21.86 (session/AH high)
– 22.00
– 22.20–22.30
– 2–3 day path: Simple momentum structure — hold 21.70 on the open, break 21.86 to test 22.00; if accepted above 22, 22.20–22.30 is next within 1–3 days. Lose 21.61 and momentum likely fades back into 21.50.
– 1–3 day targets: 22.00, 22.20, 22.40 (intraday range proxy ~0.25–0.35).
– Entries:
– Pullback buy 21.70–21.75
– Breakout add >21.86
– Stops:
– Tight: 21.56
– Swing: 21.44

Risk and execution notes
– Liquidity: Several prints are after-hours with thinner books; prioritize confirmation during regular hours and size accordingly.
– Gaps: After strong late-day moves, plan for gap scenarios. Use alerts at your support zones and let price come to you.
– Sizing and risk: Use stops just beyond the listed demand zones; widen only if you’re sizing down and seeking swing continuity.
If you can share the full 30-day daily data or ATRs, I can refine these levels with higher-confidence daily supply/demand zones and volatility-adjusted targets.
