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?
Join Mike and MPTrader members for Mike's ongoing granular analysis and discussion of AMD, as well as many other individual stocks, ETFs, Macro Indices, Foreign Exchange, Commodities, and Bitcoin as investors and traders enter a new earnings period ahead of a late-July FOMC meeting.
Three hours before the July Fed 31, 2024 (FOMC) meeting, I posted the following chart commentary about my technical setup work on 10-year Treasury YIELD and its actionable longer-term Treasury bond ETF, the TLT (20+ Year T-bond, ETF):Heading toward Fed Time, 10-year YIELD and TLT (20+ Year T-bond ETF) certainly appear to be anticipating lower interest rate news or innuendos from the FOMC statement (guidance) and Jay Powell in his post-meeting press conference.
On August 15, with XLV (Healthcare SPDR, ETF) approaching Mike Paulenoff's target zone (noted in an April 18th post), Mike responded to an MPTrader member's question about whether it was "time to sell and find something with more potential?" Mike wrote: "My short answer: no, it is not yet time to sell (although I will never dissuade anyone from taking profits and from ringing the cash register). My pattern and momentum work argue that upside potential extends from 156 to 161.
On August 6th, when UBER was trading 62, this is what Mike Paulenoff discussed with MPTrader members about the stock's technical setup in the immediate aftermath of the company's quarterly earnings report:"UBER... produced stellar earnings, albeit a bit light on next quarter's bookings. The stock is up 5.9% in pre-market trading within a near-term setup that argues yesterday's spike low at 53.25 ended a 35% correction off of the March high at 82.14.
At 10:45 AM ET on Friday July 26, 2 hours 15 minutes after the release of important PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure) inflation data, this is what Mike Paulenoff discussed with MPTrader members about SPY (SPDR SP500 ETF):"If I have a concern today it is the unfilled up-gap left behind from last eve's 4 PM ET close at 538.32 to the low of the AM session so far at 541.25.
On June 24, 2024, I posted the following chart-based commentary about PFE (Pfizer, Inc) to the MPTrader discussion room:PFE (Pfizer) has the right look of a setup that is on the verge of entering a central, bullish price thrust from within a December-June rounded bottom formation. Only a failure to push up through and close above the 200 DMA, now at 28.94, followed by a decline that breaks last week's low (6/14) at 26.87 will Neutralize my currently bullish bias... Last is 28.27...
