+8% Trade on POT
by Mike Paulenoff
April 23, 2016 • 3:06 AM EDT
In his chart analysis of Potash (POT) on April 13, Mike noted that POT appears to be in the early stages of a rally that will challenge the March 7 high at 19.38 into key trendline and EMA resistance at 20.20/90 in the upcoming days.
On top of the strong techincal trend off the January 26 low of 14.64, he saw that POT could benefit from stronger energy, a softer USD, and recovering commodity prices in general.
So Mike added POT as a swing trade set-up on April 13 at 16.61 and added to the position on April 15 at 16.32.
He exited 1/2 the position at 17.51 on April 19 and the second 1/2 at 18.05 on April 21, for a gain of 8% on the average entry and exit prices.

This past Tuesday, January 18, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader subscribers to a developing breakdown in the Russell 2000 Small Cap ETF (IWM).
Mike noted that his Point & Figure chart exhibited an ominous topping formation that threatened to send the IWM nearly 20% lower (downside target near 170) if the Small Cap ETF, which was trading at 209.39 at the time, violated its support plateau and printed 207.50.
It all started back on September 13, 2021, with a potentially bullish technical signal in Mike Paulenoff's work on XOP (SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration ETF).
Back on November 23, 2021, Mike Paulenoff had this bullish analysis of VALE for MPTrader subscribers:
"My near and intermediate-term setup work is 'warning' me that finally, VALE has the right look of a pattern and momentum configuration that indicates it has put in a significant corrective low at 11.16 (11/16/21) in the aftermath of a 70% correction off of its 5/10/21 high at 23.68. Daily Momentum exhibits glaring positive divergences at every new reaction low since early October.
Last Tuesday morning, December 14, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members to a bullish technical setup in UBER.
Mike wrote about the stock, which pre-market had traded down to 34.88 tp a 13-month new low before 10% to 38.45 on headlines from a UBS Internet Conference:
"My NEAR and INTERMEDIATE TERM pattern and momentum work argue that today's Bear Trap is a VERY significant low (34.88), and ends the most recent corrective down move from the 10/08/21 recovery rally high at 48.
On the morning of November 24, when the ARK Innovation Fund ETF (ARKK) was circling 106, Mike Paulenoff cautioned MPTrader members about additional downside.
Mike wrote: "Earlier this AM, Ark Funds manager and 'guru' Cathie Wood was interviewed extensively on CNBC. Notwithstanding the fact that Wood IS 'talking her book,' she is nevertheless extremely compelling and is all about 'innovation figuring out the future,' which she says in 5 years will look nothing like the present.
