Did You Capitalize On Our SLV Call (+17%)?

On May 7, as the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) broke out of a moving average cluster just above 14.00, Mike Paulenoff noted that "a big directional move [was] approaching" which would initially challenge the 14.80 prior rally high and beyond that 15.65/85.
Mike's annotated SLV chart (below) shows more about what he liked technically, while fundamentally he has outlined 3 backstory reasons to justify sustained strength in silver as he's continued to follow it closely in his Live Trading Room:
1) Growing perceptions that inflation will be in our future largely because of the gargantuan expansion of monetary policy and fiscal spending,
2) Belief that the US and global economies will recover sharply by the end of the year, exerting upward pressure on demand, and
3) The view by "professional" traders that silver is way too cheap in relation to the price of gold. Add to that the prospect of a lower US Dollar, and you get a combination of forces contributing to silver's rally.
By the close of this past week, SLV was at $16.66, up 17% from Mike's May 7 post.

At the close of trading on December 18, 2024, this was my final thought posted to our discussion room at MPTrader.com:ES (March 2024 E-mini SP 500)-- Stating the obvious: Today's reaction to the FOMC Rate CUT (!!) inflicted serious near-term technical damage to the dominant, post-August uptrend... Last 5960.75...Thirty minutes after the close on December 18, 2024, I followed up with this commentary for MPTraders:My preliminary "conclusion" about today's outsized 3.
On December 20, 2024, this is what we discussed about the relentless four-week correction from NVDA's ATH at 152.89 (11/21/24) to a low at 126.35 on 12/20/24:Three Times is a Charm? For the third time this week, NVDA spiked down into the lower reaches of my optimal corrective target window from 132 to 125-- this AM representing the latest spike low at 126.35-- and for the third time, buyers emerged, propelling NVDA higher to 130-132. As we speak, NVDA is trading at 131.
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).
