Alerting About NVDA's Upside Ahead of +45% Rally

On January 24, we alerted MPTrader members to an opportunistic technical setup in NVDA, writing:
"NVDA Bottom Line: When I zoom out for a view of all of the price action for the past 8 months, I can make a compelling case that a very powerful base-accumulation period and pattern have developed that is putting intense upward pressure on the 198-200 multi-month resistance-upside breakout zone that if hurdled, will trigger an intermediate-term projection to at least 218-224, and an outlier upside target zone closer to 280. As long as any forthcoming weakness is contained by support lodged from 178 down to 167.30, NVDA deserves the benefit of the doubt on the upside for the next 1 to 3 months... Last is 189.83."
Fast-forward 8 weeks to last week's trading where NVDA hit a high of 275.89, up 155% from its October 2022 major corrective low at 108.13, and up 45% from where it was trading when we initially alerted MPTrader members!
What's next for NVDA? As much as I would like to tell members that NVDA still has much higher to climb, my current read on the technical and fundamental situation indicates that in the nearer-term timeframe, NVDA is showing signs of technical stress that I usually associate with approaching upside exhaustion ahead of a meaningful pullback.
In addition, NVDA recently has been the recipient of a lot of positive press and Wall Street hype about its central chip design and production position uniquely suited to supply the forthcoming explosion in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. That said, based on our current setup work, while NVDA is a long-term "hold," we are very cautious near term and look for a substantial bout of profit-taking weakness (20% plus) before another sustained up-leg is likely to emerge.
Join me and our MPTrader member community today to participate in our ongoing intraday discussions about NVDA, and other AI-focused names such as MSFT, GOOG, and ADBE, as well as discussions about the technical and fundamental setups in individual stocks, ETFs, Macro Indices, Commodities, Precious Metals, and Bitcoin.

On the afternoon of March 13, 2024, I posted the following heads-up to MPTrader members about important price action in WPM (Wheaton Precious Metals), my go-to ("favorite") name for Silver Mining within the larger Precious Metals Mining Complex:From a silver-gold perspective, let's notice that WPM strength is pushing up against its near-term resistance line in the vicinity of 45.80.
Over one month ago, on Monday morning, 9/09/24, I posted the following NVDA update for our members:My near-term pattern work makes a compelling argument that the corrective downleg from the 8/16 high at 131 is nearing downside exhaustion and completion in and around 100 (Friday's low was 100.95). That said, unless and until NVDA climbs above 106.30 to 108.
On August 27, 2024, I reviewed my near and intermediate-term technical setup on copper (gold, silver, oil) producer FCX (Freeport-McMoRan) for MPTrader members, writing:My attached Daily Chart shows the 30% correction from the May 2024 high to the August 2024 low, which my pattern work argues ended the retracement of the first upleg of a new bull phase in FCX that began at the 10/23/23 low of 33.08 and ended at the 5/20/24 high of 55.24. The August 2024 upmove from 39.08 (8/05/24) to 46.
On August 5, hours before its after-market earnings report, Mike Paulenoff posted a bullish alert on AI-juggernaut PLTR, writing:"Bottom Line Technically: As long as any forthcoming weakness on a closing basis remains above key support lodged between 19.60 and 21.50, PLTR has the right look of nearing the completion of the correction from its 7/08/24 high at 29.83, and the initiation of another advance that will extend the upside potential off of a two-year base-accumulation setup."The stock, trading at 23.
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.
