Continuation Breakout Tuesday 1PM 10/28/2025

Overall Sector and Industry Analysis

• Datetime range analyzed (Eastern Time): 2025-10-24 15:00 to 2025-10-28 13:00 ET, with most observations on 2025-10-28 between 10:30 and 13:00. Note: Some tickers include after-hours/odd-lot prints from 10/27.

• Industrials/Building products: Broadly constructive with selective momentum. HUBB (electrical equipment) broke out sharply intraday to 449 then consolidated on elevated volume; FERG and CSL were range-bound; IBP stable; DHI faded mid-day. Lowe’s (LOW) ground higher into 246. Net: rotational strength skewed to specialty electrical and home-improvement retail; builders mixed (HUBB, LOW, IBP, CSL, FERG, DHI).
• Technology/Software/Semis: Mixed. AXON printed new highs near 755 with tight supply, showing leadership. AVGO stable-to-firm. CRWD faded from morning strength; ADSK range-bound; SNOW slightly soft mid-day. ACN steady. BELFB choppy. Net: leadership is selective (AXON), with broad software mixed (CRWD, SNOW, ADSK).
• Biotech/Pharma: Stock-picking tape. REGN reversed higher strongly from 622 to 643. NUVL held bids near 100 and keeps basing for a potential break. ARGX stabilized; RYTM drifted lower; VRDN slipped; AVDL flat-lined. Net: high-quality large/mid caps attracting dip-buys (REGN, NUVL); others choppy.
• Energy: Services/drilling bid while nat gas proxy softened. VAL marched to 56.63; GEOS trended higher all session; BOIL (2x nat gas ETF) faded. Net: strength in offshore/services (VAL, GEOS).
• Consumer/Travel/Retail: EXPE climbed steadily toward 226; REAL ticked up intraday. Net: constructive risk-on in discretionary internet/travel (EXPE, REAL).
• Financials/Info services/Insurance: TRV edged lower; MSCI surged early then faded but held majority of gains. Net: mixed, with info-services (MSCI) showing more demand than insurers (TRV).
• Utilities/EM: KEP edging up; ARGT (Argentina ETF) trended higher, suggesting risk appetite in EM.

Notable patterns:

• Breakout-and-hold behavior with volume in HUBB and steady uptrends in GEOS/VAL.
• Potential “buy-the-dip then base” in REGN; “pre-break” coil near a round number in NUVL (100).
• Select tech leadership via AXON; broader software mixed.

Individual Stock Analysis and Trade Plans
Note: Daily ATRs were not provided; near-term targets are anchored to visible supply levels and today’s observed range as a proxy. Use your platform’s ATR(14) to refine sizing.

1) HUBB

• Supports (demand zones): 446.0–446.9; 442.2; 438.3
• Resistances (supply): 449.0; 452.0; 455.0
• Next 2–3 days setup: Expect an early retest of 446–447. If buyers defend, a push toward 449, then 452. Momentum continuation above 449 on rising 30-min volume opens 452/455.
• 1–3 day price targets: 449 → 452 → 455
• Entry ideas:

– Pullback buy 446.5–447 with confirming bids.
– Breakout add above 449 with volume.

• Stop-loss:

– Tight: below 444.8 (under VWAP zone).
– Swing: 437.8 (below breakout origin).

2) GEOS

• Supports: 28.00; 27.50; 26.75
• Resistances: 28.30; 28.50; 29.00
• Next 2–3 days setup: Trend day strength suggests buy-the-dip behavior into 27.8–28.0. A hold above 28.0 favors tests of 28.3/28.5; a clean break can magnet 29.00.
• 1–3 day price targets: 28.50 → 28.90–29.00 → 29.50 (stretch if energy beta stays bid)
• Entry ideas:

– Pullback buy 27.80–28.00.
– Reclaim-and-go above 28.30 on volume.

• Stop-loss:

– Tight: 27.30.
– Swing: 26.70 (below session low).

3) NUVL

• Supports: 99.00; 98.30; 97.30
• Resistances: 99.77; 100.10; 101.00
• Next 2–3 days setup: Coiling under 100 with higher lows. Look for a shallow dip to 99.0–99.3, then a breakout through 100.1 for range expansion.
• 1–3 day price targets: 100.10 → 101.00 → 102.00–102.50 (range extension if biotech tape cooperates)
• Entry ideas:

– Staged buys 99.00–99.30.
– Breakout add through 100.10 with firm tape.

• Stop-loss:

– Tight: 98.60 (below last higher low).
– Swing: 97.80–97.20 (below 97.3 pivot).

4) REGN

• Supports: 637.9; 632.5; 628.2
• Resistances: 642.5; 645.0; 650.0
• Next 2–3 days setup: Strong reversal up from 622–632 base. Expect a back-test of 638–639; a higher low there sets up 645/650. Needs to hold above ~632 on closes to keep momentum structure intact.
• 1–3 day price targets: 645 → 650 → 655 (stretch if large-cap biotech strength persists)
• Entry ideas:

– Buy 638–639 retest with tightening 30-min ranges.
– Breakout add above 642.5–643 on pickup in volume.

• Stop-loss:

– Tight: 635.5.
– Swing: 629.0–631.0 (below mid-day base).

5) VAL

• Supports: 56.40–56.44; 56.07; 55.64
• Resistances: 56.66; 57.00; 57.50
• Next 2–3 days setup: Steady up-channel; look for a mild pullback to 56.2–56.4, then continuation to 56.7/57.0. Strong energy tape could push 57.5.
• 1–3 day price targets: 56.90 → 57.30 → 57.90
• Entry ideas:

– Buy 56.20–56.40.
– Add on break/hold over 56.66.

• Stop-loss:

– Tight: 55.85.
– Swing: 55.55 (below session floor).

6) AXON

• Supports: 752.9; 736.1; 735.1
• Resistances: 755.6; 760.0; 770.0
• Next 2–3 days setup: New-high behavior with very tight supply. Expect either a shallow flag above 752–753, then push into 760; continuation days in leaders can tag round numbers quickly.
• 1–3 day price targets: 758 → 762–765 → 770
• Entry ideas:

– Buy 753–754 on tight intraday consolidation.
– Momentum add through 755.6 with volume expansion.

• Stop-loss:

– Tight: 749.5 (below flag lows).
– Swing: 742.0; last-ditch 735 if using smaller size.

7) LOW (bonus, slightly lower conviction)

• Supports: 245.10; 244.35; 244.10
• Resistances: 246.14; 247.00; 248.00
• Next 2–3 days setup: Grind higher with shallow pullbacks suggests continuation toward 247–248 if 245 holds on dips.
• 1–3 day price targets: 246.50 → 247.20 → 248.00
• Entry ideas: Buy 245.10–245.30 pullbacks; add on reclaim of 246.14.
• Stop-loss: 244.00 (below intraday base).

Additional notes and risk management

• Several names (HUBB, REGN) showed strong intraday range. Consider scaling entries and using partial profits at first resistance, then trail stops under each higher low.
• Where ATR(14) is available on your platform, align target spacing with 0.5–1.0x ATR per day for 1–3 day swings. The targets above are anchored to visible supply plus today’s realized range; refine with ATR to suit your style.
• If tape weakens broadly (e.g., software risk-off or energy reversal), prioritize leaders with relative strength (HUBB, AXON) and reduce position size in laggards.
