On September 28, 2023, with NVDA trading at 429.31, I told MPTrader members that my work is warning me about a complex technical setup that argues for a prolonged corrective scenario prior to a resumption of dominant uptrend strength. I posted the following:
My near-term pattern and momentum work argue that since its 9/21/23 corrective low at 409.80 off of its spike to All-Time New Highs at 520 in reaction to earnings on 8/24/23, NVDA is in the grasp of a recovery rally effort that when exhausted, will roll over into another downleg within a larger, still incomplete correction off of the 520 high. For the time being, I am expecting NVDA to claw its way to 436-444 resistance, which is the first zone from where a downside reversal could emerge. If 444 is hurdled and sustained, however, then the counter-trend rally effort will point still higher, into the 460 to 480 target zone prior to my pattern expectation for a powerful downside reversal... Last is 429.31...
Fast-forward across multiple subsequent NVDA updates and discussions in the MPTrader chat room, we see on my attached 4-hour Candle Chart, that NVDA proceeded to follow my preferred recovery rally price path from his 9/28 update price of 429.31 to a 10/12 rally peak at 476.09-- near the top of my peak pivot zone of 460 to 480, from where NVDA turned down into a relentless decline that as we speak, is testing key June-September low-zone support from 396 to 410.
NVDA now finds itself at a consequential technical inflection plateau the resolution of which will determine the direction of the next 25% price move. What forthcoming clues will NVDA provide for me and our members that its directional bias is tilting in one direction or the other in the hours and days directly ahead?

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.
At 10:45 AM ET on Friday July 26, 2 hours 15 minutes after the release of important PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure) inflation data, this is what Mike Paulenoff discussed with MPTrader members about SPY (SPDR SP500 ETF):"If I have a concern today it is the unfilled up-gap left behind from last eve's 4 PM ET close at 538.32 to the low of the AM session so far at 541.25.
On June 24, 2024, I posted the following chart-based commentary about PFE (Pfizer, Inc) to the MPTrader discussion room:PFE (Pfizer) has the right look of a setup that is on the verge of entering a central, bullish price thrust from within a December-June rounded bottom formation. Only a failure to push up through and close above the 200 DMA, now at 28.94, followed by a decline that breaks last week's low (6/14) at 26.87 will Neutralize my currently bullish bias... Last is 28.27...
This past Monday, July 15, right after the opening bell, Mike Paulenoff cautioned our members about the technical setup in TSLA (Tesla), writing:"TSLA is in the grasp of a corrective period off of last Thurs (7/11) high at 271.00 that hit an initial low at 231.52 last Friday (7/12). The big rebound off of 231.52 to 262.72 during this AM's pre-market trading has the right look of an "intervening bounce" between two distinct corrective declines (the first being 271 to 231.52).
