In his September 30th chart analysis for MPTrader members, Mike Paulenoff wrote bullishly about AMD, noting:
"AMD has piqued my interest technically because all of the price action off of its ATH at 122.38 (8/04) into the September lows at 99.51 (9/20) and 99.81 (9/29) has the right look of a complete, or nearly-completed correction of the prior major advance off of the 5/13 low at 72.50. As long as the 99.50 support area remains viable support, my pattern work indicates that AMD is starting a new upleg that projects to a higher ATH in the 130 target zone."
AMD, which was trading at 103.49 at the time, tested and retested the 99.82/83 level, but preserved the 9/29 low at 99.81 before thrusting off support, climbing to a high of 107.95 this past Thursday.
The stock closed up 2.6% for the week, outperforming SPY (-1.8%) and QQQ (+0.3%).
What's next for AMD?
Mike wrote on Thursday that the stock is poised to "challenge its key resistance line off of the ATH (122.38), now in the vicinity of 106, which I expect to be taken out, triggering upside potential that argues for new ATH's above 122.38, into the 130 target zone."
He adds, "In that, the form of the rally from the 9/29 low at 99.81 to the 10/07 high at 107.95 exhibits bullish form, the current technical setup has very promising implications for upside continuation and acceleration in the upcoming days."

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.
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.
On the morning of August 6th, I posted the chart below after seeing Fundstrat's Tom Lee discuss his CEO position in BMNR (BitMine Immersion Technologies), and the fact that BMNR was accumulating a large cache of Ethereum (ETH) that will serve as an ETH Treasury holding similar to the Bitcoin model used by Microstrategy's Michael Saylor. At the time, BNMR had climbed from 31.85 to 33.70, which piqued my attention technically:"BNMR ... once again is putting upward pressure on the 34.
