A 140% Nat Gas Winner!

Back on April 13, with Range Resources (RRC) trading at 3.91, Mike Paulenoff told members in his Trading Room:
"I am very friendly to RR 'down here,' looking for it to climb above 4.90-5.10 nearest key resistance, which will project upside potential to 10.00 next. Only a sharp decline that breaks its 3/13 low at 1.61 will invalidate my current technical set up."
Mike had noted a bottoming pattern on the stock's weekly chart, plus a macro picture of a vulnerable fracking industry with a potential decrease in supply versus demand.
Fast forward to this past Tuesday August 18, and RRC hit a high of 9.37, a full 140% above its price at Mike's April 13 post and just 63 cents shy of Mike's $10 target.
Where is RRC headed next?
Mike produced additional analysis in his Trading Room on Friday, indicating a warning sign of near-term upside exhaustion.

More Top Calls From Mike
Late on Friday, fellow MPTrader member MarkinQueens exclaimed: Mike's XOM (Exxon Mobil) chart from August is working! Last $117.26!Back on August 25th, this is what we discussed about Crude Oil and XOM:Just in case anyone is wondering what the chart of nearby Crude Oil is looking like as we approach the "official" end of summer.
On August 12, 2025, this was my response to an inquiry from an MPTrader member about intense weakness impacting SMR (NuScale Power Corp):SMR (NuScale Power)-- Fellow member Irv66 asked for an update on this modular nuclear reactor manufacturer that blasted-off from 11.08 in early April to 53.50 at the end of July (+382%), but has since been in the grasp of a major correction from 53.50 to 38.33 (-28.6%). My pattern work argues that SMR is nearing key support from 37.50 down to 33.
ARKK (ARK Innovation Fund, ETF)-- Back on August 20, 2025, this is what we discussed about ARKK:Fellow member Pawel has requested an update on Cathie Wood's fund, which in June thrust up and out of a 3-1/2 year base-accumulation period and pattern above 68.40/50 that subsequently climbed to my initial target in the vicinity of 80 (see my attached Daily Chart). Since the 7/21/25 high at 79.
On July 31, 2025, with SLV (Silver ETF) trading at 33.27, this is what we discussed about my technical setup:SLV-- On the subject of tariffs, copper, and silver, Trump extended the tariff deal with Mexico for 90 days, which included steel and copper, but NO MENTION of Silver (so far). Let's notice on my attached 4-Hour chart of SLV that the week-long nosedive from 35.91 to this AM's low at 33.
On February 18, 2025, this is what I posted on MPTrader about KWEB (Chinese Internet ETF) that alerted traders to a potentially explosive setup that should keep KWEB on our radar screens going forward :My attached Daily Chart shows that KWEB is attempting to emerge from a huge, three-year rounded base-accumulation setup that projects much higher prices as the price structure climbs the "recovery wall of worry" in the aftermath of the relentless bear phase from the February 2021 ATH at 104.
