This past Tuesday afternoon (11/24), in response to an MPTrader subscriber question about PayPal (PYPL), Mike Paulenoff wrote:
"My interpretation of the BIG picture set up is that PYPL ended a near-term correction from its 9/02 high at 212.46 into the 11/03 low at 174.81, where it also started a new upleg that remains in progress, and points to a target zone of 215-220."
The stock, which was trading at 205.17 at the time, charged out of the blocks the very next day, hitting Mike's projected zone as it thrust over 5% to a new all-time high at 216.07.
Mike posted a follow-up chart commentary indicating that "as long as any weakness is contained by near-term support at 208-209 optimally, and at 204-205 critically, PYPL will remain in a bullish technical setup within the upleg from the 11/03 pivot low."
PYPL subsequently pulled back during Friday's holiday-shortened session, closing the week at 211.39, up 3% from Mike's initial chart post and still maintaining its bullish near-term set up.
What will the near future have in store for PYPL?

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).
