CVS Following Our Technical Prescription

Early on October 15, when CVS Health Corporation (CVS) was trading at 85.92, Mike Paulenoff highlighted upside opportunity for MPTrader members, writing:
"For the past 5 months, CVS has gone pretty much nowhere after hitting a new 6 year high at 90.61 on 5/25/21. It is precisely because CVS has traversed a sideways price path since late May that makes my work interpret the CVS technical setup as extremely promising for a run above 90.61 towards 100, and possibly 108-110 in the upcoming weeks and months."
Mike again wrote positively about the stock on October 20, when it was trading at 86.45, commenting:
"If my intermediate-term technical work is telling us anything about CVS, it is saying, 'watch me rocket above 90 towards a 100+ target!' Only a failure to hurdle 87 followed by a decline beneath 82 will compromise the developing anticipated thrust to the upside."
CVS began climbing on October 26, taking out key resistance at its prior failed rally peak at 87.80, The stock continued to strengthen right into last week's earnings report on November 3, when the company beat the Street's estimates on earnings, revenues, and guidance, propelling the stock to 96.57, its highest price in over five years.
At that high, CVS was 12.4% above its price at Mike's initial alert.
What's next for CVS? The strength of the consumer and another round of Covid-19 (booster) shots tie into the strength of CVS, which according to Mike's technical setup work has unfinished business on the upside as it heads towards 100-102 next. But will there be a period of rest-digestion first?

On December 13, 2024, with NVDA trading at 132.54, down 13.3% from its All-Time High at 152.89 (11/21/24), and bearing down on a critical 8-week support plateau at 131-132, this is what I posted to MPTraders:NVDA Update: Approaching key support in the vicinity of 132 that if violated and sustained, could unleash the downside potential derived from a two-month top formation (everyone sees the Head and Shoulders formation by now).
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...
