+68% In JKS Call As Solars Heat Up

Back on June 24, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members to a developing bullish technical set-up in solar panel producer Jinko Solar Inc. (JKS):
Mike wrote: "Time to keep an eye on the solar names (JKS, CSIQ, SPWR, FSLR, DQ) because all of them have the right look of either nearing the conclusion of deep multi-month corrections, or starting new uplegs after already completing deep corrections. My sense is that these names ran up big time into the Nov. 2020 election in anticipation of a more environmentally-friendly Biden Administration, but after the election, after the inauguration, were subject to a prolonged sell-the-news unwind during a period of rising fossil fuel prices. As traditional energy prices climb (to $80/bbl) oil, interest in the Solar names will again gain traction. JKS has the right look of a nearly completed DEEP near-80% correction of its powerful March-October 2020 advance. I am looking for a key upside reversal technical signal in the vicinity of 34 down to 32 that initiates a new upleg that projects to 55-60 in the subsequent weeks and months."
Fast-forward to this past week, and we see that JKS, which was trading at 37.83 at the time of Mike's alert, followed his prescriptive technical price path, hitting a multi-month high at 63.64 on July 7, a full 68% above his initial alert.
"Unbelievable!" commented one of our MPTrader members. "Sold half this morning and will wait for a moderate selloff (could be a mistake but I am good with $$$ profit!). As always, many thanks Mike!"
What's next for the energy sector, the green energy sector, and JKS in particular? Is the pullback in JKS off of its July 7 high a "pause that refreshes" a budding bull phase, or a sign of upside exhaustion?
Right now, Mike's work argues in favor of the former, but Mike will monitor and assess the price action closely in the hours and days ahead, and report back to our members what his work is telling him about the future price path of JKS as well as many other names, ETFs, macro indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and precious metals and miners.

On February 26, 2025, just 30 minutes before NVDA (Nvidia Corp) was scheduled to release its highly anticipated and potentially consequential Quarterly Earnings Report, I reiterated my most recent analysis uploaded before the opening bell. This is what I posted to the MPTrader Discussion Room:Technically, my Big Picture setup work on NVDA argues that the 2/03/25 low represented the END of a major correction that originated at NVDA's "orthodox" price high of 152.89 on 11/21/24-- the session following the company's November 20, 2024 Earnings report.
Before the market opening on February 4, 2025, hours after Palantir Technologies (PLTR) reported stellar Earnings, this is what I discussed with MPTrader members:In reaction to Earnings, PLTR has sustained strength above my "outlier" target zone of 96 to 100, which requires new upside pattern parameters. My optimal price path from atop the post-Earnings, 25% upmove points to an immediate objective of 105-08, followed by a contained pullback into the 95 area, ahead of a thrust toward 115-118 thereafter... Last is 103.50...
On January 6, 2025, this is what I discussed with MPTrader members about the Chinese equity names--Alibaba (BABA) in particular:BABA-- For anyone who wants an outlier contrarian play for the first two-quarters of the Trump Agenda, let's consider BABA. Purely from a technical perspective, I can make a compelling technical argument that the 12/20/24 low at 81.5 ended the larger correction off of the Oct 2024 upleg (from 71.80) high at 121.06. To confirm the low, any weakness must hold support at 81.50-83.
Never a dull moment since January 20, 2025! This weekend, POTUS imposed 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, and 10% on China, which go into effect on Tuesday. From an initial market perspective, tariff trade war fears have triggered a risk-off reaction from Bitcoin-- the only highly liquid weekend market that can give us insight into what to expect for Sunday evening and Monday morning trading.
On December 27, 2024, with META trading at 595.26, this is what I posted to the MPTrader Discussion Room in response to a member's question:My pattern work from the October 2023 low at 279.40 to the December 2024 ATH at 638.40 (+128%) tells me that META is at a technical crossroad now... META's most recent upleg from the 11/19/24 low at 547.71 to the 12/11/24 ATH at 638.40 has the "right look" of a completed advance.
