Back on June 24, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members to a developing bullish technical set-up in solar panel producer Jinko Solar Inc. (JKS):
Mike wrote: "Time to keep an eye on the solar names (JKS, CSIQ, SPWR, FSLR, DQ) because all of them have the right look of either nearing the conclusion of deep multi-month corrections, or starting new uplegs after already completing deep corrections. My sense is that these names ran up big time into the Nov. 2020 election in anticipation of a more environmentally-friendly Biden Administration, but after the election, after the inauguration, were subject to a prolonged sell-the-news unwind during a period of rising fossil fuel prices. As traditional energy prices climb (to $80/bbl) oil, interest in the Solar names will again gain traction. JKS has the right look of a nearly completed DEEP near-80% correction of its powerful March-October 2020 advance. I am looking for a key upside reversal technical signal in the vicinity of 34 down to 32 that initiates a new upleg that projects to 55-60 in the subsequent weeks and months."
Fast-forward to this past week, and we see that JKS, which was trading at 37.83 at the time of Mike's alert, followed his prescriptive technical price path, hitting a multi-month high at 63.64 on July 7, a full 68% above his initial alert.
"Unbelievable!" commented one of our MPTrader members. "Sold half this morning and will wait for a moderate selloff (could be a mistake but I am good with $$$ profit!). As always, many thanks Mike!"
What's next for the energy sector, the green energy sector, and JKS in particular? Is the pullback in JKS off of its July 7 high a "pause that refreshes" a budding bull phase, or a sign of upside exhaustion?
Right now, Mike's work argues in favor of the former, but Mike will monitor and assess the price action closely in the hours and days ahead, and report back to our members what his work is telling him about the future price path of JKS as well as many other names, ETFs, macro indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and precious metals and miners.

On February 23, Mike Paulenoff posted the following timely commentary about the bond market to MPTrader members:"Benchmark 10-year YIELD and TLT (20+ Year T-bond ETF)-- I am getting initial, but very strong technical signals that the backup in 10-year YIELD from the late-March low at 3.78% to yesterday's (2/22/24) high at 4.35% is nearing exhaustion ahead of a rollover into another downleg within the larger downleg off of the October 2023 high at 5.00% (see my attached Daily Chart).
On October 27, 2023, Mike Paulenoff discussed his outlook for XBI (SPDR SP Biotech ETF) with our MPTrader members, writing:With the exception of a few months of recovery rally price action here and there, XBI remains in the grasp of a major bear phase off of its February 2021 peak at 174.79 into today's 17-month new low at 64.78. The $64,000 question is whether or not XBI is coming in for a successful test of its May-June 2022 lows at 61.78 and 62.
Nearly four months ago, on the morning of October 31, 2023, this is what I posted to our discussion room about NVDA (Nvidia Corp):NVDA pressed to a new 4-1/2 month low at 392.30 today, and ... the price structure is peering over the edge of a multi-month support plateau (396.50 to 407.64) that if sustained, will leave NVDA vulnerable to downside continuation toward filling the up-gap left behind on 5/25/23 from 305.40 to 366.35. So far, NVDA has bounced off of 392.30 and has just crossed above 400.
Nine weeks ago, on December 13, Mike Paulenoff responded to an MPTrader member's inquiry about the relatively newly IPO'd restaurant group CAVA (CAVA Group), writing:Fellow member "Blue" asked for a "read" on CAVA, but this is an interesting name in the restaurant group that I think warrants a more extensive chart post for anyone looking to diversify into a consumer-sensitive, budding chain of Mediterranean cuisine fast-food locations along the lines of the Chipotle (CMG) model...
