WPM Follows and is Approaching My Intermediate-Term Technical Target

On the afternoon of March 13, 2024, I posted the following heads-up to MPTrader members about important price action in WPM (Wheaton Precious Metals), my go-to ("favorite") name for Silver Mining within the larger Precious Metals Mining Complex:
From a silver-gold perspective, let's notice that WPM strength is pushing up against its near-term resistance line in the vicinity of 45.80. If taken out and sustained, this will point WPM toward a challenge of its 4-1/2 year resistance line that cuts across the price axis at 51.00. Last is 45.60...
On April 3, 2024, I followed up with another post to MPTrader members:
WPM (Wheaton Precious Metals) is knocking on the door of a near 4-year upside breakout zone from 51.00 to 52.80, which if (when) taken out, will project an intermediate-term target zone of 60-62. Any forthcoming weakness into the 48.60 to 47.00 support area should attract major buying interest-- if it gets back down there... Last is 50.43...
Again, on April 11, 2024, with WPM at 52.63, I commented...
WPM is on the move, and attempting a potentially explosive upside breakout...
Then, fast-forward to my July 10, 2024 comment to our members:
The Precious Metals Complex is on the move higher this AM, but interestingly, it is the Miners that are leading the metal... As we speak, WPM is pushing up toward a full-fledged test of its 5/20/24 rally high at 57.87 (today's high so far is 57.55), which if (when?) hurdled, will trigger upside projections to 63.60-65.60 next. Last is 57.51...
This past Friday, October 18, 2024, WPM surged to a new all-time high of 66.75-- a full 46% above my heads-up posted on March 13, 2024-- surpassing my July 10 projection and prompting me to revise my upside expectations: WPM is poised to make a run at my next optimal Target Window of 68 to 71. Last is 66.24...
What path will forthcoming price action take for WPM and the larger Precious Metals Complex? Is WPM in the grasp of a powerful upmove propelled by a once-in-a-decade upmove in the underlying commodity, Silver? Is a bullish confluence of fundamental factors creating a deficit supply set up in Silver?

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...
On September 20, 2024, fellow MPTrader member Bloom asked Mike Paulenoff to look at his chart setup in Upstart Holdings (UPST). This is what they discussed in Mike's post to our Discussion Room in its entirety:UPST (Upstart Holdings)... It is NO coincidence that when the Fed initiated its rate HIKE cycle in March 2022, it coincided with the steep, contractionary, prolonged bear phase in cloud-based AI lender UPST.
