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?

On August 27, 2024, I reviewed my near and intermediate-term technical setup on copper (gold, silver, oil) producer FCX (Freeport-McMoRan) for MPTrader members, writing:My attached Daily Chart shows the 30% correction from the May 2024 high to the August 2024 low, which my pattern work argues ended the retracement of the first upleg of a new bull phase in FCX that began at the 10/23/23 low of 33.08 and ended at the 5/20/24 high of 55.24. The August 2024 upmove from 39.08 (8/05/24) to 46.
On August 5, hours before its after-market earnings report, Mike Paulenoff posted a bullish alert on AI-juggernaut PLTR, writing:"Bottom Line Technically: As long as any forthcoming weakness on a closing basis remains above key support lodged between 19.60 and 21.50, PLTR has the right look of nearing the completion of the correction from its 7/08/24 high at 29.83, and the initiation of another advance that will extend the upside potential off of a two-year base-accumulation setup."The stock, trading at 23.
Three hours before the July Fed 31, 2024 (FOMC) meeting, I posted the following chart commentary about my technical setup work on 10-year Treasury YIELD and its actionable longer-term Treasury bond ETF, the TLT (20+ Year T-bond, ETF):Heading toward Fed Time, 10-year YIELD and TLT (20+ Year T-bond ETF) certainly appear to be anticipating lower interest rate news or innuendos from the FOMC statement (guidance) and Jay Powell in his post-meeting press conference.
On August 15, with XLV (Healthcare SPDR, ETF) approaching Mike Paulenoff's target zone (noted in an April 18th post), Mike responded to an MPTrader member's question about whether it was "time to sell and find something with more potential?" Mike wrote: "My short answer: no, it is not yet time to sell (although I will never dissuade anyone from taking profits and from ringing the cash register). My pattern and momentum work argue that upside potential extends from 156 to 161.
On August 6th, when UBER was trading 62, this is what Mike Paulenoff discussed with MPTrader members about the stock's technical setup in the immediate aftermath of the company's quarterly earnings report:"UBER... produced stellar earnings, albeit a bit light on next quarter's bookings. The stock is up 5.9% in pre-market trading within a near-term setup that argues yesterday's spike low at 53.25 ended a 35% correction off of the March high at 82.14.
