Market Analysis for Sep 16th, 2025

ARKK (ARK Innovation Fund, ETF)-- Back on August 20, 2025, this is what we discussed about ARKK:
Fellow member Pawel has requested an update on Cathie Wood's fund, which in June thrust up and out of a 3-1/2 year base-accumulation period and pattern above 68.40/50 that subsequently climbed to my initial target in the vicinity of 80 (see my attached Daily Chart).
Since the 7/21/25 high at 79.19, ARK has been in the grasp of a high-level digestion formation between 70 and 79, but at this time does not look complete. Current weakness into today's low at 71.28 looks like it still "needs" one more new low beneath 70.40-- that could press into the 65-68 support Target Window-- before my pattern work indicates ARKK will be poised for upside continuation that projects next to 88 to 92... Last is 73.10...
Fast-forward to today, we see that late last week, ARKK thrust out of the "high level digestion formation" discussed on August 20th, and has continued higher to new multi-year highs at 80.46 so far.
The fact that TSLA represents over 12% of ARKK, which has climbed 23% in the past several days, certainly has had a disproportionately bullish impact on ARKK (see Top 10 Holdings attached below).
My work on TSLA argues for additional near-term strength into the 440-450 area from 415-420 (418.60 last), which will continue to provide powerful tailwinds for additional ARKK price strength into the 82-84 next immediate target zone, en route to my optimal objective of 88 to 92...
Only a sudden downside reversal that presses ARKK beneath 76.50 will send us a technical warning signal that ARKK's post-April upmove from 38.57 is taking a breather... Last is 80.44...

More Top Calls From Mike
Late on Friday, fellow MPTrader member MarkinQueens exclaimed: Mike's XOM (Exxon Mobil) chart from August is working! Last $117.26!Back on August 25th, this is what we discussed about Crude Oil and XOM:Just in case anyone is wondering what the chart of nearby Crude Oil is looking like as we approach the "official" end of summer.
On August 12, 2025, this was my response to an inquiry from an MPTrader member about intense weakness impacting SMR (NuScale Power Corp):SMR (NuScale Power)-- Fellow member Irv66 asked for an update on this modular nuclear reactor manufacturer that blasted-off from 11.08 in early April to 53.50 at the end of July (+382%), but has since been in the grasp of a major correction from 53.50 to 38.33 (-28.6%). My pattern work argues that SMR is nearing key support from 37.50 down to 33.
On July 31, 2025, with SLV (Silver ETF) trading at 33.27, this is what we discussed about my technical setup:SLV-- On the subject of tariffs, copper, and silver, Trump extended the tariff deal with Mexico for 90 days, which included steel and copper, but NO MENTION of Silver (so far). Let's notice on my attached 4-Hour chart of SLV that the week-long nosedive from 35.91 to this AM's low at 33.
On February 18, 2025, this is what I posted on MPTrader about KWEB (Chinese Internet ETF) that alerted traders to a potentially explosive setup that should keep KWEB on our radar screens going forward :My attached Daily Chart shows that KWEB is attempting to emerge from a huge, three-year rounded base-accumulation setup that projects much higher prices as the price structure climbs the "recovery wall of worry" in the aftermath of the relentless bear phase from the February 2021 ATH at 104.
On July 29, 2025, this is what we discussed about TEVA (Teva Pharma), accompanied by my then-current 4-Hour Chart, just ahead of Earnings:My attached 4-Hour Chart setup argues that TEVA is poised for upside continuation of its April-May advance (12.47 to 18.67) EITHER right from current levels in reaction to a positive Earnings Report tomorrow morning, OR into a BTD bout of weakness into the 14.85-15.55 target support window.
