Over one month ago, on Monday morning, 9/09/24, I posted the following NVDA update for our members:
My near-term pattern work makes a compelling argument that the corrective downleg from the 8/16 high at 131 is nearing downside exhaustion and completion in and around 100 (Friday's low was 100.95). That said, unless and until NVDA climbs above 106.30 to 108.90 to trigger an upside reversal signal in my work, I cannot rule out another loop down to retest 100-101, and, if violated, into new corrective low territory at 95-97, the next lower Target Window from where my work expects a potent upside reversal signal... Last is 106.40...
During the subsequent three sessions after issuing a technical heads-up to our members, NVDA climbed above 108.90, triggering an upside reversal signal in my work, and thereafter, followed through to a close at 117.07 on 9/11/24.
The early September upside reversal signal proved very rewarding for MPTrader NVDA participants.
Fast-forward to last week's (Friday's) action and 29 subsequent updates from my 9/09/24 heads-up designed to help members navigate the price swings in NVDA, the stock hit a high at 135.78, representing a 28% advance from 9/09/24.
With NVDA sitting 5.4% from its all-time high of 141.60 (6/20/24) and earnings six weeks away (11/27/24), what is the most likely price path for the stock? Can NVDA climb and sustain new all-time highs above 141.60 before its next earnings report, or does it need another bullish catalyst to propel it sustainably higher?
Join MPTrader members and me ASAP for our frequent analysis and discussions of NVDA in the upcoming days, as well as their technical and fundamental discussions about many individual stocks, sector ETFs, macro indices, precious metals, crude oil, and Bitcoin...
Never a dull moment since January 20, 2025! This weekend, POTUS imposed 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, and 10% on China, which go into effect on Tuesday. From an initial market perspective, tariff trade war fears have triggered a risk-off reaction from Bitcoin-- the only highly liquid weekend market that can give us insight into what to expect for Sunday evening and Monday morning trading.
On December 27, 2024, with META trading at 595.26, this is what I posted to the MPTrader Discussion Room in response to a member's question:My pattern work from the October 2023 low at 279.40 to the December 2024 ATH at 638.40 (+128%) tells me that META is at a technical crossroad now... META's most recent upleg from the 11/19/24 low at 547.71 to the 12/11/24 ATH at 638.40 has the "right look" of a completed advance.
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).
