AMD Follows Our Bullish Technical Script

On June 23rd, Mike Paulenoff posted a "heads-up" commentary about AMD for MPTrader members:
"AMD Bottom Line: While my near-term pattern work cannot rule out one more new pullback low in the vicinity of 102-105 to complete the correction off of the 133.74 high on 6/13, the 20% decline is very near completion ahead of another upleg that should propel AMD to my next optimal target zone derived from the upside breakout from the huge multi-month base-accumulation period that projects next to 148-152... Last is 110.26..."
Mike continued to guide members through multiple AMD updates, and on July 10th wrote:
"In the next book I write about technical analysis, I will use my attached 4-Hour Chart as an example of a textbook Inverse Head & Shoulders formation... that remains incomplete on the upside... as long as any forthcoming weakness is contained above the 6/27/23 pullback low at 105.55.
"To trigger upside traction, AMD needs to climb and sustain above 117.65/70. At the moment, although my nearest-term work is bullish above 105.55, as long as AMD is trading below 117.65/70 I cannot rule out a retest of the June low-zone prior to my expectation of the initiation of a new, powerful upleg... Last is 113.01..."
Then last Friday, July 14th, Mike again alerted MPTraders to the price action in AMD:
"AMD is following our bullish technical script as it accelerates to the upside after completing a meaningful pullback to its multi-month upside breakout zone (see my attached Chart)... Last is 119.82..."
AMD hit an intraday high at 122.12, a full 10.8% above Mike's June 23rd post to MPTrader members, and 15.7% above the major corrective low of 105.55 established on June 27th. After hitting the 122.12 high -- just beneath Mike's second key near-term resistance zone as shown on the chart -- AMD gave up most of its intraday gains (5%) late in Friday's session.
Is the up-move over? What's next for AMD?

On Wednesday, September 7, during one of Mike Paulenoff's frequent intraday updates of the E-Mini SP 500 futures contract (symbol ES) to keep MPTrader members informed about dominant near and intermediate-term trend direction in the index and the SPY ETF, Mike posted an important warning:"ES from a BIG Picture perspective shows the weakness off of last Friday's (9/01) rally high at 4547.75 into this AM's low at 4434.75 (-2.5% of the 4.
Back on June 26th, when nearby WTI Oil futures were circling $67/bbl, Mike Paulenoff issued a heads-up to MPTrader members about a potentially opportunistic technical setup developing in OXY (Occidental Petroleum), writing:"OXY pressed to a low at 55.58 this AM, which marginally violated the 5/11 low at 56.16, BUT held above the more technically significant March 2023 low at 55.51 prior to pivoting to the upside into positive territory, now trading at 57.47.
On Monday August 28, we posted a heads-up about FCX (Freeport-McMoRan) to our MPTrader members, writing: FCX (Copper, Gold, Oil) producer has the right technical look (and a positive momentum divergence at Friday's low) of a completed pullback (44.70 to 37.74) within its larger bullish multi-month Coil formation. Last Friday's (8/25/23) low at 37.74 represented a very healthy 15.6% correction off of the 7/31/23 rally peak at 44.70 and also amounted to an exact Fibonacci 62% retracement of the 5/24/23 to 7/31/23 advance from 33.06 to 44.70.
Top Call: NVDADuring the afternoon trading session of August 23, 2023, prior to the release of NVDA's (Nvidia Corp.) highly anticipated quarterly earnings report, we alerted our MPTrader members to our near-term forecast for NVDA, derived from my technical setup work heading into earnings.
A week ago Friday, August 10, with SPY (SPDR SP 500 ETF) trading at 446.05, Mike Paulenoff posted a chart commentary to MPTrader members indicating that his technical setup work on SPY was at a critical pattern inflection point.Mike wrote:"Based on today's action, I have come to the conclusion that the "orthodox low" of the decline from the 7/27 high (459.55)... ended at Tuesday's (8/08) low (445.27), and that an intervening counter-trend rally ended at today's (8/10) high (451.
