Anticipating The Rally In Wheaton Precious Metals

On March 13, amid a broad discussion about the emerging bull phase developing in the precious metals and miners, Mike Paulenoff posted this about WPM (Wheaton Precious Metals) to our MPTrader discussion room:
From a more Silver-Gold perspective (if FCX is perceived to be Copper-centric), let's notice that WPM strength is pushing up against its near-term resistance line in the vicinity of 45.80, which if taken out and sustained, will point WPM toward a challenge of its 4-1/2 year resistance line that cuts across the price axis at 51.00... Last is 45.60...
Mike followed up with a note on the afternoon of April 3:
WPM (Wheaton Precious Metals) is knocking on the door of a near 4-year upside breakout zone from 51.00 to 52.80, which if (when) taken out, will project an intermediate-term target zone of 60-62. Any forthcoming weakness into the 48.60 to 47.00 support area should attract major buying interest-- if it gets back down there... Last is 50.43...
Last Thursday-Friday (April 11 and 12), WPM thrust above Mike's initial target of 51.00, hitting a 3-1/2 year high at 54.30, a full 19% above the initial heads-up at 45.60.
That said, however, WPM sold off 4.5% in sympathy with many risk-on assets late Friday ahead of a weekend fraught with greatly heightened geopolitical uncertainties, closing at 51.80.
What does Mike's work tell him about the technical setup in WPM as well as the precious metals complex going forward? Will the geopolitical risk-premium continue to be a factor supporting prices? What influence will a Fed reluctant to cut interest rates have on gold and silver? And what about the US Dollar's position vis-a-vis the precious metals?
Login this week to join Mike and MPTrader members for their discussions about the issues mentioned above and how the various scenarios might impact the precious metals and miners, and as earnings season kicks in again, the setups in individual stocks, S&P sector ETFs, macro indices, Treasury bond and Energy ETFs, as well as Bitcoin.
Friday afternoon, fifteen minutes before the closing bell in the equity indices, this was my parting comment about Bitcoin:Heading into the weekend, the technical setup argues against holding shorts in Bitcoin... no?...
Many of you have been members of MPTrader for years, perhaps decades (I have been providing MPTrader.com analysis since February 2003!). Rarely do I take a victory lap about my stock, ETF, and market calls, largely because I have always thought my work should speak for itself, which obviates the need to bloviate and beat my chest to stroke my ego. At my core, I am a market nerd and Geek, not a slick-talking marketer (for better or worse).
Back on November 12, 2024, fellow MPTrader member "Rayray" wrote the following when ARCH (Archer Aviation) was trading at $4.83:Mike, as you may recall I have been an active follower of ACHR. I no longer have a position that I trade off of and am on the sidelines watching a move that I should have participated in . That said, is this the move to $9.00 that has been on the table for a while ?... My analysis: NO!...
On the morning of Tuesday, November 12, 2024, I posted the following Heads-Up to MPTrader members concerning my DIS (Disney) analysis ahead of earnings:DIS (Disney) reports earnings on Thursday morning. Technically, DIS approaches Earnings in strong near-term technical condition that argues for a positive reaction to earnings. As long as any forthcoming weakness is contained above 94.80, DIS points higher to 105.10/40, and if taken out, then to 113-115... Last is 100.25...
On September 20, 2024, fellow MPTrader member Bloom asked Mike Paulenoff to look at his chart setup in Upstart Holdings (UPST). This is what they discussed in Mike's post to our Discussion Room in its entirety:UPST (Upstart Holdings)... It is NO coincidence that when the Fed initiated its rate HIKE cycle in March 2022, it coincided with the steep, contractionary, prolonged bear phase in cloud-based AI lender UPST.
