Profiting On PENN - Market Analysis for Oct 18th, 2020

In his Trading Room this past Tuesday, Mike Paulenoff told members to expect more upside in PENN National Gaming (PENN).
With the stock trading at 67.16, Mike noted:
"My pattern work suggests strongly that PENN ended its most recent bout of weakness off the 75.24 high into today's low of 63.58, which is part of a larger-developing high-level bullish digestion period. As long as this AM's low at 63.58 remains intact, PENN's set-up points higher ... towards the 73.60 upper boundary line."
PENN proceeded to continue higher, reaching 72.26 intraday on Friday, up 7.6% in just 3 days after Mike's alert!
Where is PENN headed next? Here's what Mike told members on Friday:
"PENN technically is behaving just as we might expect from a bullish pattern after a gargantuan upmove from its March low at 3.75. My near-term pattern work argues that the high-level digestion period is at or near completion ahead of the initiation of a new upleg that projects to a target zone of 79 to 81. Only a failure of PENN to climb above 69.94 followed by a decline that breaks today's low at 65.71, and then continues lower to break 63.68, will wreck the promising set up."

More Top Calls From Mike
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).
Back on November 12, 2024, fellow MPTrader member "Rayray" wrote the following when ARCH (Archer Aviation) was trading at $4.83:Mike, as you may recall I have been an active follower of ACHR. I no longer have a position that I trade off of and am on the sidelines watching a move that I should have participated in . That said, is this the move to $9.00 that has been on the table for a while ?... My analysis: NO!...
On the morning of Tuesday, November 12, 2024, I posted the following Heads-Up to MPTrader members concerning my DIS (Disney) analysis ahead of earnings:DIS (Disney) reports earnings on Thursday morning. Technically, DIS approaches Earnings in strong near-term technical condition that argues for a positive reaction to earnings. As long as any forthcoming weakness is contained above 94.80, DIS points higher to 105.10/40, and if taken out, then to 113-115... Last is 100.25...
