Getting a Jump On the SONO Rally
by Mike Paulenoff

Back on Sep 16, Mike Paulenoff told MPTrader members that Sonos (SONO), the under-the-radar, work-at-home speaker company, had triggered initial buy signals.
Mike explained that the stock, which was trading at 14.35/36 at the time, had climbed above its up-turning 10 and 17 DMAs, in route to a challenge of the "flattish" 50 DMA, now at 14.75.
He wrote: "The recent low at 12.40 on 9/04 represents an exact 50% retracement of the major upleg from the March low at 6.58 to the July high at 17.83, and as such, the sharp upturn from 12.40 to 14.36 during the past week or so, is a technical signal that a correction within an otherwise bull phase is complete."
SONO went on to reach a high of 16.10 this past week, up 12% from Mike's Sep 16 alert, and on Wednesday Sep 30, Mike wrote:
"SONO has popped above its flattening 50 DMA (14.56) today, extending the rally off of the 9/04 corrective low at 12.40. The longer SONO remains above 14.56, the more likely it accelerates towards 17.00 next, in route to a full-fledged test of the 7/23 high at 17.83."

From a macro perspective, with Covid again rearing its ugly head in a very public way, directly impacting the Trump Administration, SONO could also benefit from another round of stay-at-home spending and "Covid stocks" generally attract another wave of investor interest.

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).
