A 140% Nat Gas Winner!

Back on April 13, with Range Resources (RRC) trading at 3.91, Mike Paulenoff told members in his Trading Room:
"I am very friendly to RR 'down here,' looking for it to climb above 4.90-5.10 nearest key resistance, which will project upside potential to 10.00 next. Only a sharp decline that breaks its 3/13 low at 1.61 will invalidate my current technical set up."
Mike had noted a bottoming pattern on the stock's weekly chart, plus a macro picture of a vulnerable fracking industry with a potential decrease in supply versus demand.
Fast forward to this past Tuesday August 18, and RRC hit a high of 9.37, a full 140% above its price at Mike's April 13 post and just 63 cents shy of Mike's $10 target.
Where is RRC headed next?
Mike produced additional analysis in his Trading Room on Friday, indicating a warning sign of near-term upside exhaustion.

On Monday morning March 1, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members to a potential up-move in U.S. Steel (X):
"If an infrastructure plan really is doable early in the Biden Administration, and if the 440% upmove from the March 2020 low to the Jan. 2021 high has not discounted just about every conceivable growth scenario, then X is turning up into another upleg as we speak. As long as any forthcoming weakness is contained in the 16.40 to 15.
A biotech name closely monitored in our discussion room at MPTrader and that has been on Mike's radar since the stock's explosive upmove during the height of the Covid vaccine and therapeutic drug hype last July-August is Sorrento Therapeutics (SRNE).
