Projecting UBER's Upside Trajectory

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. If my work proves reasonably accurate, then any forthcoming UBER weakness will be contained above 56.50 ahead of upside continuation that challenges and chews-through key resistance lodged between 62.60 to 64.45."
The next day, on August 7, with UBER trading at 65.48, Mike added:
"At the time of my earlier update (8/05/24), UBER was trading at 62.00, up 16% from Monday's spike-low at 53.25, which prompted me to allow for a pullback to 56.50. Well, that certainly did not happen. UBER has continued to climb right into and now above key resistance between 62.60 and 65.45, which if sustained, will clear a price path to 68-70 next, in route to a challenge of March-August resistance line that cuts across the price axis in the vicinity of 73.50."
Fast-forward to this past Thursday, August 15th, when UBER hit a post-earnings high at 73.42, a full 18% above Mike's alert on August 6th. See Mike's analysis from that day. The stock pulled back on Friday to close the week at 71.20, or 12% above his initial alert. Mike's pattern, momentum, and price projection work proved extremely accurate for UBER's upside trajectory to the 73.50 resistance target zone.
What's next for UBER? Is forthcoming weakness a "Window of Opportunity" ahead of a run at its all-time high of 82.14 established on 3/08/24, or is the current vertical upmove part of a larger-developing corrective process?

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).
